Key Responsibilities :
Advanced Modeling & Analysis
- Model Development : Design, build, train, and validate sophisticated machine learning (ML) and statistical models (e.g., predictive, prescriptive, clustering, forecasting) to address key business challenges (e.g., customer churn, sales forecasting, risk modeling).
- Feature Engineering : Utilize advanced SQL and Python / Snowpark to perform large-scale feature engineering, data transformation, and preparation directly within Snowflake, ensuring high data quality and low latency for modeling.
- A / B Testing & Causal Inference : Design and analyze experiments (A / B tests) and employ causal inference techniques to measure the business impact of product features, strategies, and model outputs.
MLOps & Production Deployment
Operationalization : Lead the process of deploying trained models into production environments, utilizing Snowpark, Snowflake UDFs / UDTFs, and external functions for scalable inference and real-time scoring.Pipeline Automation : Collaborate with Data Engineering to integrate ML pipelines into CI / CD workflows, ensuring models are automatically retrained and redeployed using tools like Airflow or orchestration platforms.Monitoring : Establish and maintain robust monitoring for model performance (drift, bias, accuracy) and operational health within the Snowflake environment.Data Visualization & Storytelling
Insight Generation : Conduct deep-dive exploratory data analysis (EDA) using complex Snowflake SQL to uncover hidden patterns, opportunities, and risks.Visualization & Communication : Effectively communicate complex analytical findings, model outputs, and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders and senior leadership using compelling data storytelling and visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, or Snowflake Streamlit).Platform & Technical Leadership
Best Practices : Define and promote best practices for statistical rigor, ML coding standards, and efficient data processing within the Snowflake ecosystem.Mentorship : Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior data scientists and analysts on modeling techniques and leveraging Snowflake's data science features.Innovation : Stay current with the latest features of the Snowflake Data Cloud (e.g., Generative AI / LLMs, Unistore, Data Sharing) and propose innovative ways to leverage them for business value.Required Skills :
MS or Ph.D. in a quantitative discipline (e.g., Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, or Mathematics).7+ years of progressive experience in Data Science, with at least 3+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying ML solutions in a cloud data warehouse environment, preferably Snowflake.Expert proficiency in Python (including packages like scikit-learn, NumPy, Pandas) and writing scalable code for data processing.Expert-level command of Advanced SQL for complex data manipulation and feature engineering.Proven experience with Machine Learning algorithms and statistical modeling techniques.Strong understanding of MLOps principles for model lifecycle management.Preferred Skills & Certifications
