As enterprises race to adopt agentic AI, we're uniquely positioned to deliver the clear signal they desperately need: a platform that trains and grounds AI Agents in trillions of real execution signals, enabling reliable, compliant automation of their most complex processes.\nBacked by Dell Technologies Capital and other leading investors, we're the only company that can bridge the gap between AI's promise and enterprise reality, making us perfectly positioned to define the agentic era for modern enterprises.\nOur diverse, collaborative team of 250+ innovators is solving category-defining challenges at the intersection of AI, process intelligence, and enterprise work. Diverse perspectives fuel breakthrough thinking, cross-functional collaboration is the norm, and our work directly transforms how Fortune 500 companies operate. We are shaping the future of work itself.\nThe Role\nWe are looking for a Senior Data Scientist who loves to get their hands dirty. This is a deeply hands-on role; you will build and own ML models and data pipelines, work directly with large and messy real-world datasets, and be the go-to person when something breaks or doesn't make sense. You will also play a key guiding role for junior data scientists and analysts on the team, helping them grow through close collaboration, code reviews, and day-to-day technical direction.\nYou are not a manager, but you are a multiplier. The best candidate is someone who writes excellent code in the morning, helps a junior teammate unblock an issue in the afternoon, and debugs a tricky customer data problem before EOD, and finds all three equally satisfying.\nWhat You'll Do\nHands-On Modelling & Algorithm Development\nBuild, train, evaluate, and improve ML models that power core Skan.ai features including but not limited to task detection, behavioral pattern recognition, process mapping, and drift analysis.\nOwn the full modelling lifecycle: data exploration, feature engineering, model selection, hyperparameter tuning and validation.\nRun disciplined experiments: define clear hypotheses, design evaluation frameworks, and present findings with statistical rigour.\nWrite clean, well-tested, production-ready Python code that your teammates can maintain and build on.\nData Pipelines & Large-Scale Data\nDesign and build reliable data pipelines that handle high volumes of multimodal enterprise data such as screen telemetry, event logs, and structured process data.\nWork hands-on with distributed data platforms (Spark, Databricks, or equivalent) to process, transform, and validate data at scale.\nOwn data quality at every step: define validation checks, detect drift, monitor pipeline health, and fix issues proactively.\nCollaborate with engineering to optimise ingestion and feature generation workflows for speed, cost, and reliability.\nCustomer Issue Diagnosis & Production Support\nInvestigate and resolve data and model issues that surface in customer environments; trace root causes across pipelines, features, and model behaviour.\nPartner with Customer Success and Solutions teams to understand unexpected outcomes and translate them into concrete technical fixes.\nBuild internal diagnostic tooling and dashboards that make it easier to spot and triage data anomalies and model degradation in production.\nDocument findings clearly so that patterns are captured and future issues are resolved faster.\nGuiding & Mentoring Junior Team Members\nServe as the day-to-day technical guide for junior data scientists and analysts; answer questions, review code, pair on hard problems, and help them grow.\nConduct thorough, constructive code reviews that improve both the work and the person who wrote it.\nHelp junior teammates develop good habits: experiment tracking, reproducibility, clean data handling, and robust validation.\nRun informal knowledge-sharing sessions: walkthroughs of new techniques, post-mortems on what went wrong, or deep-dives into a dataset.\nFlag blockers and skill gaps to the Principal/Chief Scientist and help shape how the team grows technically over time.\nCross-Functional Collaboration\nWork closely with product and engineering to understand requirements, scope data work, and deliver on time.\nCommunicate findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders; translate model outputs and data insights into plain language that drives decisions.\nContribute technical input to sprint planning and quarterly priorities; flag feasibility concerns early and propose alternatives.\nWhat We're Looking For\nRequired\nM.S. or B.S./B.Tech/B.E. in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field or equivalent hands-on experience.\n5-8 years of industry experience building and shipping data science or ML solutions in production.\nStrong Python skills with clean, modular, testable code as a baseline expectation.\nSolid experience with large-scale data processing using Spark, Databricks, or similar distributed frameworks.\nProficiency in at least two of: supervised/unsupervised ML, NLP, deep learning, sequence modelling, or process mining.\nExperience diagnosing and fixing real-world data quality and model behaviour issues in production systems.\nA genuine interest in helping junior colleagues grow; this should excite you, not feel like a tax on your time.\nClear, concise communication: you can explain a complex model or a data issue to an engineer, a PM, or a customer success manager without jargon.\nNice to Have\nExposure to process mining, RPA, workflow analytics, or enterprise operations intelligence.\nExperience with MLflow, Weights & Biases, or similar experiment tracking and model management tools.\nFamiliarity with LLMs, transformer-based models, or multimodal learning pipelines.\nPrior experience in a product-focused startup or scale-up environment.\nWhy Skan.ai\nNot a support role: Real ownership from day one\nYou will own models and pipelines end-to-end; not hand off tickets to a team in another timezone.\n Interesting work: Hard, novel problems\nYou will work on problems that don't have off-the-shelf solutions.\nSkan AI is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and respectful workplace around the world.
