We are looking for a Staff Data Scientist | ML for our "Pay" team (claims payments product) to advance our models further. In addition to building best-in-class models, this person will create technical frameworks and tools to help the team achieve greater scale and improved business outcomes. What You'll Do Solve real business problems with data: Own end-to-end data science work, from problem framing and data exploration to modeling, validation, and production impact. Lead high-impact initiatives: Drive complex efforts such as vendor leakage detection and prevention, delivering measurable revenue or cost improvements. Innovate on methods and approaches: Go beyond standard analyses by developing new metrics, models, or workflows when existing approaches fall short. Build and productionize models: Design, build, and support production ML or LLM-powered solutions in collaboration with engineering and product partners. Work deeply with data: Use SQL fluently to explore large datasets, build reliable data assets, and validate results. Influence cross-functionally: Partner with Product, Engineering, Finance, and Operations to align on goals, tradeoffs, and execution plans. Set technical direction (especially at L7): Raise the bar for data science quality, scalability, and impact across the organization through mentorship, design reviews, and technical leadership. What You'll Bring Proven track record of hands-on data science impact on real-world problems, not just research or dashboards. Strong proficiency in SQL, with experience working directly on complex, large-scale datasets. Experience building, shipping, or supporting production ML systems, preferably some exposure to LLM-based products or workflows. Ability to independently scope ambiguous problems, identify the right data and methods, and drive work to completion.
