Job Description

We’re looking for a Lead Data Scientist with deep technical expertise and strong communication skills to lead end-to-end AI/ML projects for top-tier clients across marketing, customer experience, and business process optimization and operations. 

As a player-coach, you’ll combine technical leadership, team mentorship, and hands-on delivery to produce client-facing impacts — designing cutting-edge solutions from statistical models to GenAI agents. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on innovation and is passionate about delivering measurable business value through data.

  • Lead development of advanced analytics and AI/ML models (e.g., classification, time series, GenAI, computer vision, associative rules and decisioning). 

  • Design and oversee robust data pipelines using SQL, Spark, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure). 

  • Architect and implement solutions involving LLMs, transformer-based models, and AI agents for generative tasks and automation. 

  • Manage and mentor a team of data scientists; guide project execution and professional development. 

  • Collaborate with business stakeholders to translate problems into machine learning solutions, deliver insights, and drive model deployment. 

  • Own model lifecycle: from data exploration to production deployment and monitoring (MLOps). 

  • Engage with multimodal data: text, image, audio, or behavioral data from web and app interactions. 

  • Ensure quality, reproducibility, and documentation of models and findings. 

Qualifications

  • MS or PhD in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field. 
  • 4+ years of experience in applied machine learning and advanced analytics. 

  • Effective communication skills to technical and non-technical audiences. 

  • Proficiency in Python (and optionally R or Scala), including libraries like scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch. ect 

  • Hands-on experience with generative models (e.g., GPT, diffusion models) or multimodal AI. Experience using these models during development. 

  • Strong SQL and data engineering skills; Spark/Databricks experience is a plus. 

  • Experience deploying ML models to production (API, batch, or streaming environments). 

  • Comfortable leading projects and collaborating cross-functionally in a fast-paced, client-facing setting. 

  • Familiarity with A/B testing platforms (Optimizely, Adobe Target), cloud AI services, or explainable AI tools. 

  • The Salary range for this position is $110,000 - $160,000 - depending on experience and qualifications
