About the Role

We're hiring a Senior Data Scientist with strong programming skills, a deep command of analytical methods, and the ability to turn complex data into clear business insights. You'll join a small, highly skilled team where your work has a direct impact on how the business operates and makes decisions.

This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role. You'll work across the full data stack-writing sophisticated SQL in BigQuery and MariaDB , building automation and tooling in Python , and leveraging AI-powered tools like Windsurf, Gemini, and Claude to work faster and smarter.

You'll be expected to understand how data is structured end-to-end, from source systems through to the warehouse, and to know which analytical approach fits which business question. You'll also be a key communicator-translating complex data into clear narratives for stakeholders across the organization.

We need someone who can operate independently, manage their own priorities, and continuously raise the bar on what's possible with our data. If you have a genuine passion for analytics, a GitHub full of projects, and you're the kind of person who's always learning the next thing-we'd love to hear from you.
