Associate Data Scientist – Customer Support
TLDR
Serve as a customer-facing associate data scientist focusing on debugging and stress-testing ML/AI models while driving solutions that ensure robustness and reliability.
-
Investigate complex and often disorganized datasets to diagnose underlying causes of issues such as model degradation, unexpected patterns, and data quality problems.
-
Perform extensive exploratory data analysis (EDA) to detect data drifts, anomalies, and quality issues that may impact model performance.
-
Design and run diagnostic experiments and adversarial tests to deliberately “break” models and solutions, revealing edge cases, failure modes, and hidden assumptions.
-
Define and implement validation checks, monitoring dashboards, and alerting mechanisms that surface issues early and guide triage.
-
Serve as the primary technical contact for data science issues, ensuring rapid responses, clear communication, and end-to-end ownership of problem resolution.
-
Fine-tune hyperparameters, retrain models, or implement minor algorithmic adjustments based on analytical insights.
-
Collaborate with support, product, engineering, and partner teams to implement comprehensive solutions, enhance processes, and ensure a positive customer experience.
