BMC does this in a simple and optimized way by connecting people, systems, and data that power the world’s largest organizations so they can seize a competitive advantage.\nThe IZOT product line includes BMC’s Intelligent Z Optimization & Transformation products, which help the world’s largest companies to monitor and manage their mainframe systems. The modernization of mainframe is the beating heart of our product line, and we achieve this goal by developing products that improve the developer experience, the mainframe integration, the speed of application development, the quality of the code and the applications’ security, while reducing operational costs and risks. We acquired several companies along the way, and we continue to grow, innovate, and perfect our solutions on an ongoing basis.We're looking for a Lead Data Scientist to join our AMI team! Hands-on Machine Learning, statistical modeling, predictive analytics, evaluation, and productionization. Generative AI and agentic systems are owned by AI Engineering; this role stays focused on traditional ML and predictive analytics - with collaboration on GenAI features when modelling expertise adds value. About the Role\nYou will frame business problems as modeling problems, build and validate predictive and analytical models, and partner with product and engineering to put those models to work where they create measurable value. You apply statistical rigor, experimental design, and reproducible ML practice so models are trustworthy for enterprise use.\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign and develop Machine Learning solutions using statistical analysis, data mining, and classical/modern ML techniques. \nBuild, train, validate, and iterate predictive models (classification, regression, ranking, forecasting, anomaly detection, clustering) against clear business outcomes. \nPerform feature engineering, exploratory analysis, and experiment design to improve model quality and decision usefulness. \nCollaborate with domain experts to understand business requirements and formulate data-driven solutions. \nDefine offline and online metrics, holdout strategies, and monitoring signals for model performance and drift. \nDeliver models to enterprise-grade quality: rigorous, validated, reproducible, and ready for mission-critical use. \nSupport packaging and deployment of models into production with engineering partners; maintain clear handoffs. \nPartner with AI Engineering and AI Quality when classical models or predictive signals feed GenAI / agentic workflows. \nExplain complex technical concepts and predictive analytics clearly to technical and non-technical audiences. \nSet the science agenda for a product area or organization (what to measure, model, and invest in). \nMake consequential tradeoffs among modeling approaches, data investments, and partner capacity. \nBuild durable measurement/modeling capabilities that improve major decisions over time. \nRepresent DS rigor with senior product, engineering, and business stakeholders. \nMust-Have Skills & Experience\n12+ years of Data Science experience\nDegree in Machine Learning, Statistics, Data Science, Physics, or related field / equivalent education and industry experience (Master’s preferred for L3+). \nProficiency in Python and data science libraries (Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, and PyTorch or TensorFlow) appropriate to level. \nKnowledge of statistical analysis, hypothesis testing, experimental design, data mining, and machine learning techniques. \nExperience designing performance metrics and evaluation approaches for predictive ML systems (depth scales with level). \nSQL and modern data platforms; data exploration and visualization. \nFamiliarity with cloud platforms such as OpenShift (OCP) and AWS. \nClear communication; ability to work in a multi-tasked, dynamic environment. \nEvidence of setting a science agenda beyond one technical specialty. \nMajor decisions or investments improved by capabilities you established. \nOrg/BU-level influence with lasting measurement or modeling impact. \nEvidence we will look for in hiring:\nPast experience: Set a science agenda across a product area or organization. \nDelivery evidence: Major decisions or investments improved by durable measurement capabilities. \nShared expectation: Sets direction and makes consequential technical tradeoffs. \nNice-to-Have Skills\nPython backend APIs (FastAPI, Flask, or similar). \nExposure to Generative AI / LLMs as a collaborator (not a primary hiring filter). \nMLOps practices (MLflow, Kubeflow, experiment tracking, registries, pipelines). \nTime-series forecasting, causal inference, or anomaly detection in enterprise systems data. \nAgile methodology and Atlassian products (Jira, Confluence) \nThis Is BMC.
