Full Stack Lead Data Scientist
CDK

This is a 100% remote opportunity.

As the Lead Full-Stack Data Scientist, you will develop predictive models that are deployed into our production software. For example, can you predict the likelihood a consumer will buy a car based on their click history? Develop a model to sort the customers based on likelihood to buy, and the prediction needs to return to the UI within 500ms. Work with engineering to deploy a microservice that can be called by the UI. You will also be working with LLMs. For example, summarize the most important things to know about where a customer is in the car-buying process. You can access text messages, emails, browsing behavior and activities they've done. Package up a dataset for an LLM, develop the prompts and run the result through a set of QA and security checks. Package everything into a microservice the UI can call and display the results in the UI.

The good news is that you will have an enormous amount of clean data in a highly performant Snowflake Warehouse to work with. You will also join an experienced Analytics team who can help you understand what it means and how to use it. You will work closely with our Data Engineers, Software Engineers, Product Managers and UX designers and be aligned to the Modern Retail team, reporting up through Analytics and Product Management.

You may be a fit for this role if you have:

• At least 2 years of experience in applied Data Science at a software, ecommerce or other customer-focused technology company.
• Expert Python skills, both modeling and functional programming.
• Expert SQL skills, blending data in complex ways.
• Are an excellent storyteller - able to communicate complex analytic concepts clearly and simply.
• Be a leader in data science best practices. Educate the analytics and product teams about different AI/ML methods and have a perspective on what works and what doesn't work
• Solid Business Acumen, fluent in business analysis (revenue, gross margin, market share)

You get Extra-Credit if you have any of the following:

• Automotive experience (or at least like cars)
• Java Script experience
• Snowflake/Streamlit
