About The Role
We are seeking a highly technical and pragmatic Senior Applied AI / Data Scientist to help scale AI-enabled systems, analytics workflows, and internal data applications across the organization.

-
Improve self-service data access safely and responsibly
-
Reduce operational burden through automation and intelligent systems
