Senior Data Science Engineer, Data Science & Analytics (DSA)

Own production pipelines end-to-end — design, build, and maintain robust data science pipelines that run reliably in production, including monitoring, alerting, and iterative improvement

Scope and deliver features — take ambiguous problems, define clear analytical approaches, and ship client-facing solutions in collaboration with Engineering and Product Management

Drive cross-functional delivery — proactively identify blockers, align stakeholders across teams, and move projects forward with minimal oversight

Apply AI tooling to accelerate work — leverage LLMs, agents, and other AI-assisted workflows to increase the speed and quality of analysis and development

Translate retail data into decisions — connect store-level signals (inventory, on-shelf availability, task execution, etc.) to meaningful business outcomes for both internal teams and retail clients

Raise analytical standards — establish best practices for reproducibility, documentation, and code quality across the team's DS work

Build conversational data experiences — design and prototype AI agent or chatbot interfaces that allow internal or external users to query and explore retail data through natural language (nice to have)

5+ years of experience in data science or a closely related role, with demonstrable delivery of production features (not just research or prototyping)

Strong Python skills; comfortable writing production-quality, version-controlled code

Solid SQL and experience working with large-scale cloud data platforms (GCP/BigQuery preferred)

Experience with dbt for data transformation — writing models, tests, and documentation as part of a production analytics engineering workflow

Experience owning the full lifecycle of a data science feature: scoping, building, shipping, and maintaining

Proven ability to work across functions — you've partnered with Engineering, Product, or Commercial teams and know how to communicate tradeoffs and drive alignment

Retail industry experience strongly preferred (store operations, inventory, merchandising, supply chain, or equivalent)

Hands-on experience using AI tools (LLM APIs, coding assistants, prompt engineering) to accelerate analytical work

Ownership that matters — you'll have real scope over systems and features that run in production and directly affect how our retail partners operate

Cutting-edge stack — GCP, BigQuery, Airflow, and an evolving AI toolchain with a strong appetite for experimentation

High-signal environment — focused team where your work is visible and your technical judgment is trusted

Retail at scale — Simbe's data spans thousands of stores and billions of shelf observations, a genuinely rich and challenging domain
