Requirements :

  • 8+ years of relevant industry experience in a highly analytical role (e.g., Data Science, ML Engineering, Quantitative Analysis).
  • Proven track record of shipping high-quality data products, models, or features at scale.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to turn abstract business and product ideas into concrete data science and engineering solutions.
  • Expert-level coding abilities in Python for data science (e.g., Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn) and mastery of complex SQL across large datasets.
  • Ability to effectively communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Desire to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and adapt quickly to the ever-changing world of Generative AI.
  • Excited to join a dynamic, hybrid team in either San Francisco or New York City.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Experience in a client-facing or consultative role (e.g., Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Architect, Data Science Consultant).
  • Deep expertise in designing metrics, diagnosing data inconsistencies, and building evaluation frameworks for ML / LLM systems.
  • Experience with large-scale data processing frameworks and distributed systems (e.g., Spark, Ray).
