Senior Data Scientist

The role of a Data Scientist at Dataiku is quite unique. Our Data Scientists not only code up solutions to real-world problems but also participate in client-facing endeavours throughout the customer journey. This includes supporting their discovery of the platform, helping integrate Dataiku with other tools and technologies, some user training, and co-developing data science projects from design to deployment.

Just as non-technical skills are important, so too are technical skills. Our Data Scientists work on the Dataiku platform every day. Aside from the visual tools, our team primarily uses Python and SQL, with occasional work in other languages (e.g., R, PySpark, JavaScript). An ideal candidate is excited to learn complex new technologies and modelling techniques while being able to explain their work to other data scientists and clients.

For this position, Dataiku will give priority to candidates based in or willing to relocate to Riyadh. While we consider all qualified candidates, our priority is to focus on Saudi nationals.

In this role, you'll help the team:

• Co-develop production-level data science projects with our customers

• Analyse and investigate various kinds of data and machine learning applications across industries and use cases

• Help users discover and master the Dataiku platform via user training, office hours, and ongoing consultative support

• Provide data science expertise both to customers and internally to Dataiku’s sales and marketing teams

• Develop custom Python-based “plugins” in collaboration with Solutions, RD, and Product teams, to enhance Dataiku’s functionality

You might be a good fit for the role if you have:

• English - fluent, Arabic - fluent/native

• Curiosity and a desire to learn new topics and skills

• Empathy for others and an eagerness to share your knowledge and expertise with your colleagues, Dataiku’s customers, and the general public

• The ability to clearly explain complex topics to technical as well as non-technical audiences

• 2 - 10 years of experience with Python and SQL

• 2 - 10 years of experience with building ML models and using ML tools (e.g., sklearn)

• Familiarity with data visualisation in Python and R
