Senior Data Scientist

Job Description

Titles? Meh. We’re not obsessed with them! Internally, you’ll be a Data Scientist like the rest of the team 😉

Just with that extra layer of expertise, strategic mindset, and the ability to build solutions that truly move the needle. We’re expanding our Data & Analytics team with a senior professional who can lead complex initiatives, influence architecture and methodology, and help shape data-driven decision-making across the organization. If you thrive at the intersection of technical depth, business understanding, and hands-on problem-solving, you’ll fit right in.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Identify, qualify, and shape opportunities for Data Science projects across different industries.
  • Design and deliver end-to-end data solutions: from exploration and modelling to deployment and validation.
  • Lead client engagements from initial discussions through project scoping, planning, and proposal development.
  • Build, evaluate and refine statistical models, predictive algorithms, and data-driven decision systems.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering teams to ensure smooth deployment, scalability, and monitoring.
  • Guide best practices in data quality, modelling standards, and reproducibility.
  • Mentor team members and contribute to continuous learning across the organization.
  • Support commercial efforts by shaping technical approaches, contributing to proposals, and helping close deals.
  • Develop long-term relationships with clients and stakeholders.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in Data Science, Machine Learning, or Advanced Analytics.
  • Proven experience shaping and closing data-driven or technical project opportunities.
  • Strong understanding of statistical modelling, predictive analytics, and business problem-solving.
  • Excellent communication skills — able to translate complex insights into actionable recommendations.
  • Demonstrated ability to build and deliver data products or analytical solutions end-to-end.
  • Solid experience with Python (expert level) and strong SQL skills.
  • Hands-on experience with common DS libraries (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow, etc.).
  • Comfortable working with cloud or modern data platforms.
  • Fluent English (mandatory).

Nice to have

  • Experience with Big Data ecosystems or cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP).
  • Experience deploying models in production or working with MLOps concepts.
  • Knowledge of NLP, Computer Vision, time series, or recommendation systems.
  • Experience with API development, CI/CD, or containerization.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals (testing, versioning, code structure).
  • Experience with dashboarding or BI tools (Power BI, Looker, Tableau).
  • Familiarity with data architectures, ETL/ELT pipelines, or data engineering concepts.
