The Role

Data Scientist III

The Team

We are a central data and reporting function that gathers all organizational data spanning from financial to inventory. This unique position allows our team to ajinnovate and build data products and solutions for internal stakeholders, including applying AI and Machine Learning to our comprehensive datasets. We foster a collaborative environment where continuous learning is encouraged, and team members regularly share knowledge about the latest AI developments and methodologies. The team values experimentation, data-driven decision making, and maintains a culture of intellectual curiosity where interns are mentored by experienced practitioners and given meaningful projects that contribute to real-world applications.

The Impact

This role is critical because it turns the organization's unified data into scalable, production-grade data products—enabling accurate forecasting, early anomaly detection, and smarter risk decisions that directly improve operational efficiency and financial outcomes.

By combining modern lakehouse architecture with AI/ML, it empowers internal teams with self-service insights while delivering faster, more reliable, and data-driven solutions to clients—enhancing trust, competitiveness, and market responsiveness.

What's In It For You

Opportunity to design and own a modern, end-to-end Databricks lakehouse platform, working at the intersection of data engineering, architecture, and applied AI/ML.
High visibility role with exposure to senior stakeholders, business leaders, and decision-makers, directly influencing strategy through data-driven insights.
Strong growth environment with hands-on experience in cutting-edge technologies and continuous learning through collaboration and mentorship.
Chance to work on enterprise-wide, high-impact data products with a global scope, enabling innovation across diverse business domains and markets.

Years Of Experience And Qualification

Typically, you'll bring 7+ years of experience in data engineering, Machine Learning and building production-grade data pipelines and platforms in a cloud environment. A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field is required; a Master's degree is a plus.

Preferred qualifications include experience with Databricks/Spark and lakehouse architectures, along with relevant cloud certifications (e.g., Azure/AWS/GCP data engineering) or Databricks certifications.

Responsibilities

Data Platform & Architecture

Architect data lake/lakehouse platforms for forecasting, anomaly detection, and BI/analytics using Databricks, Spark, and Delta-style patterns.
Set and enforce engineering standards for data modeling, integration, and pipeline design across teams/products.
Lead cloud event-driven/microservices architecture that integrates with web front ends and APIs.

ELT/ETL & Pipeline Engineering

Design, build, and optimize batch and event-driven ELT/ETL pipelines for analytical and operational workloads.
Build ingestion/transformation flows aligned to bronze/silver/gold, with validation, CI/CD, testing, and observability baked in.

Advanced Analytics, Forecasting & Anomaly Detection

Implement scalable time-series forecasting training and inference across categories.
Build model monitoring (RMSE/MAE/bias/coverage/residuals) with dashboards and automated alerts.
Develop residual/outlier detection using Z-scores, PELT change points, and confidence-interval breach checks.
Implement classification/risk-scoring models (e.g., Logistic Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost, clustering, HMMs) for anomaly classification and category risk.

Data Quality, Schema & Drift Monitoring

Automate data quality and schema validation (missing dates/targets, type changes, schema evolution, allocation shifts).
Detect drift in data and model behavior (e.g., allocation stability, category mix changes).
Deliver per-category anomaly flags and summarized insights for decision-makers.

Leadership & Collaboration

Provide technical leadership (code/design reviews, mentoring, knowledge sharing) for engineers and data scientists.
Collaborate with product/UX/business to refine requirements, prioritize work, and plan roadmaps.
Champion engineering excellence: quality, performance, and operational readiness.

What We're Looking For

Core Data & Engineering

Expert SQL (complex joins, window functions, performance tuning at scale).
Strong Python for data processing, APIs/microservices, and analytics.
Hands-on PySpark for large-scale distributed processing and ETL/ELT.
Solid data modeling (dimensional models, star/snowflake schemas, medallion design).

Data Platforms & Cloud

Proven Databricks experience (notebooks, jobs, clusters, Delta tables) and lakehouse architectures.
Strong grasp of cloud-native, event-driven architectures (queues, event buses, serverless triggers) for data/ML workflows.
Experience designing/operating microservices exposing REST/gRPC APIs for forecasting and analytics.

Statistical Modeling & ML

Hands-on, production experience with time-series forecasting (ARIMA or similar).
Applied anomaly detection/classification: residual analysis, Z-score, PELT, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost, clustering, HMMs.
Familiarity with end-to-end predictive analytics, including model validation and monitoring.

Monitoring, Quality & MLOps

Experience building monitoring for models/pipelines (metrics, dashboards, alerts), focused on error trends and drift.
Strong background in production data quality and schema monitoring, including automated checks/guardrails.
Familiar with CI/CD, version control, testing, and observability for data/ML systems.

Web & Integration

Experience integrating data/ML back-end services with web front ends (APIs, payloads, error handling).
Understanding of authentication, authorization, and security for data/ML APIs in the cloud.

Soft Skills & Leadership Competencies

Technical Leadership: Lead design discussions, set standards, and mentor engineers/data scientists.

Stakeholder Management: Comfortable with product/business/UX; turn ambiguity into clear technical roadmaps.

Communication: Explain trade-offs/metrics to non-technical stakeholders; strong documentation habits.

Problem Solving: Analytical approach to data quality, drift, and performance issues; pragmatic solutions.

Ownership Mindset: Takes end-to-end responsibility—from design/implementation to monitoring and improvement in production.

Collaboration & Coaching: Work cross-functionally, support research teams/interns, and elevate engineering/analytics maturity.

Adaptability & Curiosity: Iterate through MVPs, experiment when justified, and adapt to evolving priorities.
