About the role

Define the AI/ML investment roadmap for the Sales pod in close partnership with product and engineering, identifying where data science can drive the most meaningful improvements in Sales productivity and revenue outcomes. Design, build, and deploy production ML models, AI agents, and automation systems end-to-end.

What they're looking for

  • Advanced degree (PhD or Master's) in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field
  • Track record of independently scoping and leading end-to-end ML projects in production environments — not just executing on defined projects, but identifying the right problems to solve and driving them from idea to measurable impact
  • Strong strategic acumen: the ability to understand business objectives deeply and translate them into a prioritized technical roadmap
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a proactive, curious approach to problem-solving — you can operate effectively in a space where the path isn't always laid out for you
  • Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences, paired with the curiosity and user empathy to understand Sales pain points and needs
  • Proficiency in Python and SQL for building ML pipelines and models
