We are seeking a highly skilled and versatile Senior Data Scientist to join our software engineering team as we build AI/ML capabilities directly into our platform. This is a unique role where you’ll be embedded with software engineers rather than in a traditional data science organization. You’ll report to an Engineering Manager and work directly with software engineers, translating data science concepts into practical features that can be implemented. As the data science expert on a team eager to learn, you’ll own the full lifecycle from data analysis to production model deployment while teaching and enabling your colleagues.
In this role, you will play a pivotal part in driving data-driven decision-making across our organization, with a strong focus on optimizing our customers’ supply chains. You will leverage your expertise in both data analysis and data science to develop and implement innovative solutions that enhance our operational efficiency and empower our customers with strategic insights and recommendations. You’ll work on areas such as demand forecasting, delivery date estimation, pricing analytics, and network simulations, with the opportunity to drive new products forward and meaningfully contribute to making Stord an even more data-driven organization.
