TL;DR · Data Science Engineer

The Senior Data Science Engineer joins the team responsible for Firefly's generative AI tools across third-party agentic surfaces like ChatGPT and Claude. In this role, you will build data foundations, develop production-ready pipelines to process high-volume unstructured usage data, and conduct statistical analysis including A/B experimentation and hypothesis testing. You will translate complex data into actionable insights to inform product strategy and roadmap decisions for the Firefly agent ecosystem. The position requires proficiency in Python, SQL, or Scala to query and integrate disparate sources while maintaining scalable automated pipelines. Key responsibilities include writing production-quality code, mentoring junior team members, and communicating findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You will solve the challenge of understanding how users interact with AI tools on external platforms by turning ambiguous data into clear strategic direction.

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain scalable, automated data pipelines for high-volume, unstructured usage data from third-party platforms.
  • Conduct statistical analysis and A/B experimentation to identify product trends and inform roadmap decisions.
  • Translate complex data into actionable insights and clear narratives for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Write production-quality code while establishing best practices in architecture design and peer code reviews.
  • Manage end-to-end technical projects from inception to completion with minimal supervision.
  • Develop domain expertise in the agentic ecosystem to solve ambiguous business problems and make informed assumptions.
  • Mentor junior team members and contribute to hiring efforts through technical interviews.

What we're looking for

  • 6+ years of relevant experience in data science, data/ML engineering, or analytics engineering.
  • A Bachelor's degree or advanced degree in a quantitative or engineering field (Master's preferred).
  • Proficiency in at least one programming or data-manipulation language such as Python, SQL, or Scala.
  • Proven experience architecting and maintaining scalable, automated data pipelines across multiple sources.
  • Solid grounding in statistics and experimentation, including hypothesis testing and identifying bias.
  • Ability to synthesize complex analysis into clear narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience with LLM/agentic products or product analytics for AI/ML applications (preferred).
  • Experience with usage-data instrumentation for platform or partner ecosystems (preferred).
