TL;DR · Staff Analytics Engineer, AI & Predictive

The Staff Analytics Engineer (AI & Predictive) joins the Data Science team as a senior, hands-on individual contributor. This role focuses on designing, building, and operationalizing predictive analytics, traditional machine learning models, agentic AI systems, and Databricks-native data applications to drive business outcomes. You will perform feature engineering, model selection, and training for regression, classification, clustering, and time-series forecasting. Key responsibilities include developing multi-step agent pipelines, building Databricks-native apps like interactive dashboards and ML workflows, and managing production pipelines with drift detection. You must possess deep expertise in Python, Databricks, Lakehouse architectures, and ML engineering practices. The work involves solving complex business problems by integrating autonomous agents with enterprise data to provide intelligent automation, scalable data products, and production-grade ML insights across the organization.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and deploy traditional machine learning models including regression, classification, and time-series forecasting.
  • Build and implement agentic AI workflows where autonomous agents orchestrate data access and decision logic.
  • Develop Databricks-native applications, including notebook-based apps, interactive dashboards, and parameterized ML workflows.
  • Operationalize ML models into production pipelines with integrated monitoring, drift detection, and retraining strategies.
  • Build data and ML services/APIs leveraging Python and Databricks Lakehouse capabilities.
  • Translate business requirements into end-to-end solutions spanning data ingestion, modeling, and user-facing applications.
  • Own production systems by performing troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and implementing observability logging.
  • Influence architectural decisions and technical standards for ML and agentic AI across the organization.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in data science, applied machine learning, or ML engineering with ownership of production systems.
  • Strong proficiency in Python for ML development, data processing, and application logic.
  • Deep experience with traditional ML techniques including regression, classification, clustering, and time series.
  • Proven experience building and deploying ML models in production environments.
  • Hands-on experience with Databricks, including application development, notebooks, workflows, and ML pipelines.
  • Strong understanding of feature engineering, model evaluation, and explainability.
  • Experience designing and implementing agentic AI systems or autonomous decision-making workflows (preferred).
  • Experience with ML Ops practices, CI/CD, model monitoring, and retraining pipelines (preferred).
