Lead Data Scientist
Remote Full-time 7-10 years Bachelor's Degree
Apply for this Position Position Overview
We are looking for a lead data scientist to own a workstream and the scientists in it. Much of the job is choosing which problems are worth the team's time and which should be declined — and then protecting the rigor of the work that survives that choice.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead a data science workstream: problem selection, sequencing, staffing, and delivery.
- Decide which problems the team takes on and which it declines, and be able to justify both.
- Coach the scientists on your workstream and run the design and method review practice.
- Set the bar for statistical rigor and reproducibility, and hold it when a deadline argues against it.
- Stay hands-on for the problems that need your depth rather than only reviewing.
- Partner with ML engineering and product on what ships, how it is measured, and who owns it afterwards.
- Turn business objectives into a research and measurement roadmap with real checkpoints.
- Report outcomes to leadership honestly, including the work that led nowhere and why.
Skills & Qualifications
- 7-10 years in data science, including leading a team or workstream.
- Deep statistical and modelling expertise across several distinct problem types.
- Proven judgment about which problems are worth modelling at all.
- Ability to plan and sequence research work whose outcome is genuinely uncertain.
- Coaching experience with scientists at different levels.
- Strong stakeholder communication, including delivering a negative result well.
- Awareness of what it costs to keep a model alive after launch.
Nice to Have
- Building an experimentation platform or practice from the ground up.
- Consulting delivery across concurrent clients.
- Publications, open-source contributions, or teaching.
- Domain depth in a regulated industry where methods must be defensible.
What You'll Gain
- Competitive salary.
- Fully remote — work from wherever you're most productive.
- Annual learning budget for books, courses, and conferences.
- Top-tier hardware and software tooling.
- Private health insurance and flexible time off.
