As a Data Scientist in this role, you will lead the design, development, and deployment of systems that monitor the health and integrity of our data. You will work with stakeholders across technical and non-technical teams to scope requirements, define metrics, and ensure anomalies are identified, understood, and resolved quickly and reliably. This is a hands-on role that requires both analytical thinking and strong engineering practices.

You will take full ownership of projects - from discovering and defining problems, cleaning and preparing data in the warehouse, developing and testing models and logic, and deploying solutions into production environments.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement monitoring and alerting systems to ensure the reliability and accuracy of key datasets and processes.

About You:

Here’s what we’re looking for:

  • Proficiency in Python and SQL for analysis, model development, and data interrogation.
  • Experience in handling large datasets with PySpark and managing distributed data processing.
  • Comfortable deploying statistical or ML models into production environments.
  • Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS.
  • A methodical, problem-solving mindset with high attention to detail.
  • Able to scope, define, and deliver complex solutions independently.
  • Comfortable working closely with non-technical stakeholders to define business-critical metrics.
  • Self-motivated, accountable, and keen to continuously learn and grow.
