Job Description
As a Senior Data Scientist / Product Engineer at Kearney Activate, you will play a key role in delivering secure, cloud-hosted data and analytics solutions for clients within Kearney’s Mobility, Defense and Advanced Industrials practice. This role is designed for a senior generalist who can take a business question all the way from framing and exploratory analysis through modeling, deployment, and ongoing performance monitoring. You will work at the intersection of business, product, and technology, partnering directly with client stakeholders and mentoring junior technical teammates along the way.
Key responsibilities
- Translate ambiguous business questions into a clear analytical approach and select the right technique for the problem.
- Conduct exploratory data analysis to understand data quality, structure, and opportunity before modeling begins.
- Design, build, and evaluate analytical and machine learning solutions, including traditional ML and LLM-based approaches, using rigorous metrics and testing.
- Build and assess production-grade retrieval-augmented generation pipelines when an LLM-based approach is the right fit.
- Deploy models through APIs or batch pipelines, write tests, and establish basic monitoring for performance and drift.
- Collaborate closely with the dedicated data architecture team on pipeline design, data quality, and schema decisions.
- Apply MLOps fundamentals and CI/CD discipline to models and analytical code.
