Senior Forward Deployed Data Scientist/Engineer

<p>At Scale AI, we help leading enterprises turn AI from a promising capability into reliable systems that improve real workflows and deliver measurable business value. We are hiring a Senior Forward Deployed Data Scientist / Engineer to work directly with customers on ambiguous, high-impact problems at the intersection of data science, product development, and AI deployment.</p> <p>This is <strong>not</strong> a traditional analytics role. On this team, data scientists do the core statistical and modeling work, but they also build real tools and products: evaluation explorers, operator workflows, decision-support systems, experimentation surfaces, and customer-specific AI/data applications that get used in production. In many cases, the data scientist builds the first usable version of the solution, proves value quickly, and helps drive it into a durable product or platform capability.</p> <p>The right candidate is strong in first-principles problem solving, rigorous measurement, and technical execution. They know how to define metrics, design experiments, diagnose failures, and build systems that people actually use. They are also comfortable using modern AI-assisted development tools to prototype and iterate quickly without sacrificing reliability, observability, or judgment. Python and SQL matter in this role, but as execution fluency in service of building better products and making better decisions.</p> <h3><strong>What you’ll do</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Partner directly with enterprise customers to understand workflows, operational pain points, constraints, and success criteria</li> <li>Turn ambiguous business and product problems into measurable solutions with clear metrics, technical designs, and deployment plans</li> <li>Design and build internal and customer-facing data products, including evaluation tools, workflow applications, decision-support systems, and thin product layers on top of data/ML systems</li> <li>Build end-to-end solutions across data inges
