About the Role

Lendi Group is building data and AI capabilities to assist customers with home lending and property services. As a Senior Data Scientist, you will transform complex customer and business challenges into practical, production-ready machine-learning solutions. You will focus on propensity modeling, personalization, growth, retention, and other applied data-science use cases using techniques like classification, regression, experimentation, and predictive analytics. This hands-on role involves the entire lifecycle from problem framing and data analysis to model development, deployment, monitoring, and improvement. You will collaborate with data engineers, product managers, analysts, software engineers, and business stakeholders to achieve measurable outcomes. Generative and agentic AI will be part of the team's toolkit when appropriate, with a core emphasis on strong applied machine learning and sound data-science judgment.

Responsibilities

  • Translate customer and business problems into clear analytical and machine-learning objectives.
  • Work with large datasets, event data, and feature stores to identify useful signals and build predictive features.
  • Develop, evaluate, and improve models for use cases such as propensity, personalization, growth, and retention.
  • Apply appropriate techniques across classification, regression, experimentation, forecasting, and other applied data-science problems.
  • Take models through the full product lifecycle, including deployment, automation, monitoring, retraining, and ongoing maintenance.
  • Help improve data quality, feature pipelines, model monitoring, drift detection, and ML Ops practices.
  • Work with product managers and business stakeholders to define success measures and translate model outputs into action.
  • Explain technical approaches, assumptions, and results clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Collaborate with data, software, and AI engineering teams to review solutions, improve coding standards, and share knowledge.
  • Contribute to technical documentation, design discussions, and delivery planning.
  • Work with external partners or vendors where required to deliver the right solution.

Requirements

  • Commercial experience as a Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, or in a closely related role.
  • Strong Python skills and experience writing maintainable, tested, and production-quality code.
  • Strong foundations in probability, statistics, model evaluation, and machine-learning fundamentals.
  • Practical experience with classification, regression, feature engineering, and experimentation.
  • Experience developing, deploying, and maintaining machine-learning models in a cloud environment such as Databricks, AWS SageMaker, Azure ML, or an equivalent platform.
  • An understanding of data pipelines, feature stores, data quality, model monitoring, drift, and retraining.
  • Experience working across the full model lifecycle, from problem definition through to production and ongoing improvement.
  • The ability to work effectively with product managers, engineers, analysts, and senior business stakeholders.
  • A collaborative approach to code reviews, documentation, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement.
  • Good judgment about when to use a simple, explainable approach and when a more advanced technique is justified.
