What you will be working on
We are looking for a Data Scientist to join our team and independently drive data science developments across a range of use cases. At this level, you will be expected to take ownership of projects end-to-end — from scoping and development through to deployment and monitoring — with minimal supervision. You will work closely with stakeholders and peers, contributing not just to technical outcomes but to the broader health and effectiveness of the team.
Craft & Execution
- You are expected to perform tasks and drive data science developments independently with minimal supervision from the data science manager.
- You will lead project scoping discussions and translate complex business requirements into technical solutions. This requires communicating technical concepts effectively to stakeholders across different levels of seniority and technical expertise.
- You will design, implement, and optimise end-to-end ML/AI solutions with improved performance and scalability. You are expected to systematically benchmark and evaluate multiple approaches, applying advanced techniques to solve complex business problems.
- You will architect scalable solutions using cloud-based services and best practices, and design and implement robust data pipelines and LLM/MLOps workflows that improve efficiency and reduce operational costs. You will deploy models to production environments with comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and maintenance procedures.
