About the role
- As a Principal Data Scientist, you will be the technical lead and primary "engine" of our data science initiatives.
- Reporting to the Director of Data Science, you are a high-level individual contributor responsible for solving our most complex, abstract business problems through advanced mathematical modeling.
- You will lead the end-to-end development of "Data Intelligence Products" - from high-dimensional forecasting and financial risk engines to ML-driven revenue optimization.

- Modern Stack Experience: Deep familiarity with the Snowflake + dbt + Power BI ecosystem is a significant advantage.
- Proven track record of building and deploying predictive models using Python and SQL that achieved high business adoption.
- Toolkit Expertise: Hands-on experience with ML orchestration tools and automated testing for model performance (e.g., monitoring for Data Drift and Model Decay).
- Cloud Infrastructure: Experience with cloud-based ML platforms (e.g., Azure ML, AWS SageMaker, or Databricks) and how they integrate with data warehouses like Snowflake.
- Advanced Education: PhD or Master’s degree in a highly quantitative discipline (e.g., Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or Economics).
