Senior Data Scientist

We're growing our Data Science team to ship production machine learning that powers ActivTrak's next generation of workforce intelligence products. This is a hands-on role built around production ownership: you take a problem from formulation through a shipped, monitored model, not just to a notebook.

• Predicting user roles and classifying activity from behavioral event data
• Cross-account benchmarking that turns aggregate usage patterns into product-differentiating insight
• Making pragmatic tradeoffs between model sophistication, business value, reliability, latency/cost, and iteration speed
• Partnering with our Data Engineers, who take your models and analysis and turn them into durable, scalable production systems

• →5+ years bringing machine learning to production at scale, with direct experience making the sophistication/speed/reliability tradeoffs described above
• →Strong Python and production-grade software engineering practices (testing, code review, version control)
• →Experience with classification/prediction problems on behavioral, event, or user activity data
• →Strong SQL and comfort working directly against production data sources, not just flat files or CSVs
• →Experience with feature engineering: defining, standardizing, and validating features for production models
• →Experience monitoring model quality after deployment and responding to drift or degradation, not just shipping and moving on

• Time series analysis and/or hidden state models
• Parallel dataframes (Dask, Spark, or similar)
• Comfort working within a layered/medallion-style data architecture (raw → cleansed/identified → aggregated/de-identified)
• Feature store experience (versioning, storage, reuse)
• Cloud environment experience (GCP or AWS), and general comfort operating around containerized/orchestrated infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes) even if you're not the one building it

• Own production ML that reaches customers and improves through real-world feedback
• Work on a genuinely uncommon ML problem: behavioral event data from 9,500+ customer organizations, used for role prediction, activity classification, and cross-account benchmarking
• Small, senior team with real ownership and visibility to leadership

• Position is remote within US
• Minimal travel
• Limited physical demands 

This is an incredible opportunity to embark on an exciting journey with a dynamic, VC-backed company.  If you have a proven track record of creative thinking, a drive for learning, and a deep commitment to collaboration, we want to talk to you!
