Full Job Description
OVERVIEW

We are an industry-leading startup developing AI for consumer brands. Our solutions leverage machine learning, generative AI, agent-based systems, and graph technologies to get our customers to insights in seconds and to business impact in minutes using our products.

We are looking for a Data Scientist to develop the models and analysis behind our products and to prove out their impact with customers, reporting to our Co-Founder & CAIO.

ROLE

As a Data Scientist, you will build the models that turn customer data into decisions - forecasting, optimization, measurement, and the analysis that tells us whether any of it is working.

You'll work across the full lifecycle: understanding a business problem, exploring the data, developing and validating models, and partnering with engineers to get them into production. You'll also work directly with customer data and customer-facing teams, which means your analysis needs to hold up under scrutiny from people whose decisions depend on it.

This role is a strong fit for someone earlier in their career who wants real ownership quickly. You'll get direct mentorship from our Co-Founder & CAIO and senior engineers, and the scope to grow fast.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Modeling & Analysis
• Develop, validate, and iterate on models for forecasting, optimization, anomaly detection, and measurement.
• Perform exploratory analysis on complex customer datasets to surface patterns worth acting on.
• Design and analyze experiments; build the measurement approaches that quantify business impact.
• Establish rigorous validation practices - backtesting, holdouts, and honest error analysis.

Production & Collaboration
• Partner with ML and data engineers to move models from notebook to production.
• Contribute to feature engineering, evaluation pipelines, and model monitoring.
• Write clean, reproducible Python that other people can read and build on.

Business Impact
• Translate business questions into analytical problems, and analytical results back into recommendations.
• Communicate findings clearly to internal teams and customers, including non-technical audiences.
• Follow deployed models into the real world and help make sure they're delivering what we promised.

ALL ABOUT YOU
• Experience developing and validating models on real, messy data - through internships, prior roles, or substantive project work.
• Solid foundation in statistics and machine learning: regression, time series, tree-based methods, experimental design.
• Strong Python (pandas, scikit-learn, and the surrounding ecosystem) and strong SQL.
• Curiosity about the business problem behind the data, not just the modeling technique.
• Clear communication - you can explain what you did, why, and what it means, to someone who doesn't do this for a living.
• Strong problem-solving skills, adaptability, and a "hacker" mentality.
• Eagerness to learn quickly in a startup environment.

Nice to have
• Exposure to CPG, retail, or consumer brand data.
• Experience with Spark, cloud platforms (AWS or similar), or orchestration tools.
• Familiarity with LLMs and their practical use in analytical workflows.
