About the Role
As the Staff Data Scientist (VP) on the AI Science team, you will design and deploy production AI systems for consumer-facing businesses. You will build AI-powered products that deliver measurable business outcomes for senior stakeholders, operating with significant scope and speed on greenfield problems. This hands-on technical leadership role involves end-to-end delivery, client relationship ownership, and shaping the organization's AI investments.
Responsibilities
- Own high-impact business problems from ambiguity to production, working directly with operating teams to frame questions, build models, systems, and applications, and ship them into daily workflows.
- Build predictive models, experimentation frameworks, and optimization systems for marketing, sales, and operations.
- Build production LLM applications end-to-end, including structured extraction, retrieval-augmented generation, multi-step orchestration, and rigorous evaluation.
- Evaluate and champion emerging AI techniques and tools through hands-on prototyping, benchmarking, and iterative deployment.
- Partner with AI researchers, data scientists, and domain experts to translate experimental models into production-ready systems.
- Contribute reusable AI capabilities and methods that serve as building blocks across the organization.
- Own client relationships end-to-end, collaborating directly with senior business stakeholders to understand workflows, scope and deliver engagements, and iterate on AI products.
- Mentor engineers and data scientists through design reviews, code reviews, and hands-on pairing.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience building and deploying ML or data science systems in production environments.
- Proven track record of leading AI/ML projects from ideation to production, including cross-functional collaboration, technical ownership, and direct engagement with business stakeholders.
- Hands-on experience building production LLM applications: prompt engineering, orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation, structured output parsing, and evaluation pipelines.
- Deep expertise in predictive modeling, experiment design and causal inference, and optimization, with strong statistical foundations.
- Experience working with business-generated data and turning it into decisions.
- Proficiency in Python, along with modern AI/ML tools (e.g., PyTorch, scikit-learn, LangChain/LangGraph, vector databases, LLM APIs).
- Working knowledge of MLOps practices (CI/CD, model monitoring, evaluation) and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or similar).
- Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to translate technical details into strategic decisions and present directly to senior business stakeholders.
