Senior Data Scientist

The role

You will derive signals from high-throughput, real-time data streams and build models across diverse modalities. You will partner with engineers to move models into production streaming pipelines and work with aviation experts to create features and evaluation criteria.

What you will do

• Derive new signals from high-throughput, real-time data streams.
• Build, evaluate, and iterate on models across diverse modalities.
• Design evaluation for problems with little or no labeled ground truth.
• Partner with backend and platform engineers to take models into production streaming pipelines.
• Own model behavior once live.
• Work with aviation subject-matter experts to turn operational knowledge into features, labels, and evaluation criteria.

Required qualifications

• BS/MS/PhD degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Operations Research, Aerospace Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
• 2+ years of applied data science or machine learning experience, including models that have run in production.
• Strong Python and strong SQL over large analytical datasets.
• Depth in time-series and sequence modeling.
• Experience working with sparse, incomplete, or unlabeled data.
• Experience designing data validation and drift detection for continuously arriving data.
• Able to leverage AI assistants to increase velocity while taking absolute ownership of every model, feature, and analysis.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

Nice to have

• Prior experience or a deep interest in aerospace, aviation, or high-throughput tracking systems.
• Familiarity with flight telemetry, ATC phraseology, or airspace procedures.
• Familiarity with geographic/spatial data processing.
• Awareness of distributed messaging and stream-processing systems (i.e. Apache Pulsar or Kafka, Apache Flink) and columnar or lakehouse analytical storage.

Before you apply

• Certain positions may be eligible for visa sponsorship.
