Job description

Driving lasting impact and building long-term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance / high reward culture - doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.

In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleaguesat all levelswill invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients. Every day, you'll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you wont find anywhere else.

What you will have

  • Continuous learning : Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.
  • A voice that matters : From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. Youll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
  • Global community : With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firms diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions for our clients. Plus, youll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
  • World-class benefits : On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well-being for you and your family.

As a Data Scientist II, you will collaborate with clients and interdisciplinary teams to understand client needs, develop impactful advanced analytics and AI solutions, optimize code, and solve complex business challenges across industries.

Youll grow your expertise by contributing to cutting-edge projects, R&D, and global conferences while working alongside top-tier talent in a dynamic, innovative environment.

Your work will drive meaningful change. By uncovering patterns in data and delivering innovative solutions, youll help clients stay competitive, transform operations, and achieve lasting improvements. Heres how you might contribute in a given year :

  • Build a digital twin of a defense supply chain to enhance military hardware availability.
  • Leverage agentic AI to improve customer service outcomes for a global travel company.
  • Optimize the schedule and funding of a multi-billion-dollar capital project to accelerate delivery.
  • Youll contribute to projects across industries and data science expertise areas, eventually choosing your own path to build your expertise and skills. You should expect this role to include at least some work in critical industries (Aerospace, Defense, Utilities, Oil and Gas), but you will have the ability to serve other industries as well.

    Day to day, youll tackle complex challenges in partnership with senior data scientists, engineers, designers, and domain experts. You will :

  • Translate business questions into analytical approaches and select the right techniques for each problem
  • Conduct exploratory data analysis
  • Design, implement, and evaluate modelsfrom traditional machine learning to deep learning to LLMs using rigorous metrics and A / B tests. When appropriate, youll build production-grade RAG pipelines and assess LLM output quality / hallucinations
  • Deploy models via APIs or batch pipelines, write unit tests, and set up monitoring dashboards to track performance and drift
  • Document assumptions, communicate results in clear, actionable language, and collaborate with engineers to integrate solutions into user-facing applications.
  • Build models which are accurate, explainable, and free from bias
  • Optimize inference latency and cost through parameter-efficient tuning, quantization, and accelerated serving stacks
  • Additionally, you will contribute to internal tools, participate in R&D projects, and have opportunities to attend and present at leading conferences like NIPS and ICML.

    You will be based in one of our U.S. locations and collaborate closely with data scientists, data engineers, machine-learning engineers, designers, and product managers around the world.

    Qualifications

  • Bachelors degree in computer science with 2+ years of professional experience OR Masters or PhD in a discipline such as computer science, mathematics, statistics or electrical engineering
  • Professional experience in applying machine learning and data mining techniques to real problems with copious amounts of data

We use the right tech for the task and often work within clients stacks. Technologies you may encounter include Airflow, Databricks, Dask / RAPIDS, containerization with Docker and Kubernetes, and the major clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle)
  • GenAI experience a plus : parameter-efficient tuning, RAG architectures, vector-store technologies, LLM evaluation
  • Exceptional time management to meet your responsibilities in a complex and largely autonomous work environment
  • Strong communication skills, both verbal and written, in English and local office language(s), with the ability to adjust your style to suit different perspectives and seniority levels
