What You'll Do
Day to day, you'll live in Python and SQL, building and shipping models with tools like scikit-learn, XGBoost, and increasingly agentic workflows, against datasets that don't always fit on one machine (AWS, Argo Workflows, Clickhouse). You'll move seamlessly between structured problem solving, quantitative analysis, and hands-on engineering. You're as comfortable presenting to a business stakeholder as to another engineer, and a model isn't done in your book until it's deployed and maintained, not just validated in a notebook.
Your First 90 Days
In your first weeks, you're in the data, not in a generic onboarding deck. You'll meet the six-person team, including our resident ex-McKinsey/QuantumBlack data scientist, and get your hands on real data from one of our engagements, that might be sensor and maintenance data off a manufacturing plant floor, or demand data feeding a forecasting model. You don't need to know the domain going in, you'll pick it up fast by sitting in on partner conversations and hearing directly what they need.
By the end of your first month, you've shipped something real, not a proof of concept. You'll have framed a business problem, diagnosed the opportunity, quantified the potential impact, scoped and proposed an improvement, decided whether to build it fresh or build on our existing internal platform, gotten it into our ML or agentic pipelines, and presented it at a team meeting.
A few months in, you're driving your own slice of the roadmap. You're deploying production-grade DS products, pairing with engineers to sharpen our tooling, and presenting your models and their real business impact directly to our partner's stakeholders, not just to the team.
