You will work across the organization to frame ambiguous business problems, identify high-value opportunities for data science, and turn complex data into models, insights, and decision-support products with measurable impact.\nThis is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will shape the data science roadmap, establish strong modeling and experimentation practices, and serve as a senior advisor to business and technical leaders. You will partner with Data Operations and Software Engineering to ensure reliable access to well-defined data, while maintaining primary ownership of the analytical approach, model quality, and business outcomes.\nSome of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:\nIdentify and prioritize high-impact opportunities for data science across Hut 8’s technology, energy, infrastructure, AI, colocation, cloud, and mining businesses.\nTranslate business questions into clear analytical frameworks, hypotheses, modeling strategies, success metrics, and measurable acceptance criteria.\nDevelop, validate, and deploy predictive, forecasting, optimization, classification, ranking, and anomaly-detection models that solve complex business problems.\nApply statistical analysis, experimental design, hypothesis testing, causal inference, and scenario modeling to evaluate decisions and quantify business impact.\nLead the end-to-end data science lifecycle, including exploratory analysis, feature engineering, model development, validation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration.\nBuild reusable analytical products, decision-support tools, models, reports, and visualizations that enable leaders and operating teams to act with greater speed and confidence.\nEstablish standards for model evaluation, interpretability, reproducibility, documentation, experimentation, and responsible use of machine learning.\nDevelop evaluation frameworks for AI and agentic workflows, including benchmark datasets, retrieval and response quality measures, groundedness, relevance, and user feedback analysis.\nPartner with Data Operations and Software Engineering on source data requirements, data quality issues, feature pipelines, production integrations, model serving, and monitoring.\nUse data quality findings, model performance, and stakeholder feedback to improve analytical products and ensure they remain reliable and useful over time.\nCommunicate technical findings, uncertainty, recommendations, and business impact clearly through concise narratives, visualizations, reports, and executive presentations.\nMentor data scientists and raise the organization’s capabilities in statistical thinking, machine learning, experimentation, and data-driven decision-making.\nABOUT YOU\nBachelor’s or master’s degree in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Business Analytics, or a related field; advanced degree preferred.\n6+ years of progressive experience in data science, machine learning, advanced analytics, or a closely related discipline, with a demonstrated record of leading high-impact initiatives.\nStrong proficiency in Python and SQL, with advanced experience using statistical and machine learning libraries such as scikit-learn, XGBoost, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or comparable tools.\nDeep understanding of statistical modeling, hypothesis testing, experimental design, model evaluation, feature engineering, and machine learning fundamentals.\nExperience developing and operationalizing models in production, including model versioning, reproducibility, monitoring, performance evaluation, and collaboration with engineering teams.\nDemonstrated ability to work with time-series data, forecasting, optimization, anomaly detection, or other analytical methods relevant to complex operational and business problems.\nExperience applying large language models, natural language processing, retrieval-augmented generation, intelligent agents, or evaluation methods for AI-enabled products is strongly preferred.\nStrong ability to move from ambiguous business problems to rigorous analytical approaches, practical recommendations, and measurable outcomes.\nFamiliarity with cloud data platforms such as Snowflake or BigQuery, data warehouses, data modeling, data quality, and lineage concepts.\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts, model limitations, uncertainty, and tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders and senior leaders.\nDemonstrated technical leadership, mentoring ability, and success working across business, data, software, and infrastructure teams.\nExperience with Airflow or Luigi, Git, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, Tableau, Metabase, semantic layers, knowledge bases, embeddings, or metadata management is preferred.\nABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT\nThis role is in office at our corporate headquarters in the Brickell area of Miami, Florida. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5217,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Data Centers & Colocation","Cryptocurrencies","Mining & Staking"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-27T21:03:23Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":17,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.466,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":62,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hut-8-principal-data-scientist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hut-8-principal-data-scientist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T18:16:51Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":27039,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":47563},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=47563"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhut-8-principal-data-scientist"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhut-8-principal-data-scientist"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhut-8-principal-data-scientist"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/hut-8-principal-data-scientist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhut-8-principal-data-scientist"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":140947}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"hut8.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":140947},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
