We are looking for a Lead Data Scientist to join us. Let’s see if we are a good fit for each other!

Project:

You will lead a small, high-impact ML squad embedded directly in client product teams. Your mission: turn complex business problems into shippable models — whether that means forecasting demand, extracting insight from images, or processing tons of text documents.

This is an equal-parts leadership and hands-on role: you set the vision, manage the team, and dive into code whenever required.
