**WHY WE NEED YOU? GLAD YOU ASKED...**
We are seeking a versatile and highly skilled Data Scientist to join our dynamic team. This role is pivotal in driving data-driven decision-making across our B2B initiatives, with occasional contributions to our B2C sector and Adtech initiatives. You will be responsible for developing sophisticated models, conducting deep-dive analyses, and extracting actionable insights from complex datasets to optimize user experience and advertising performance.
This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of **B2B weather intelligence and commercial data products**, influencing the direction of our predictive algorithms under the mentorship of the Team Lead of Data Science working closely with leadership to align data strategies with business objectives. We offer a collaborative environment where innovation is encouraged and data-driven insights are at the heart of everything we do.
*****Please note, we are only considering candidates who are eligible to work in Canada and can work in a Hybrid model at our Oakville location*****
WHAT DOES THE DAY-TO-DAY LOOK LIKE
- **Build Predictive Weather Models**: You will design, train, and deploy machine learning and spatio-temporal models to integrate weather feeds with client sales data to predicting demand, optimizing forecasts, and quantifying operational risk.
- **Derive Actionable Insights:** You will conduct end-to-end exploratory analysis on complex meteorological datasets to uncover high-value patterns and translate probabilistic trends into strategic recommendations.
- **Drive B2B & Commercial Growth**: You will partner with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Support to build analytics solutions for B2B initiatives.
- **Optimize ML Performance:** You will leverage distributed frameworks (e.g., PySpark, Dask, Ray) and modern ML stacks (Scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow, LLMs) to improve model speed, scale inference pipelines, and lower compute costs.
- **Own the Model Lifecycle:** Take responsibility for the full end-to-end lifecycle, including testing, deployment, and ongoing monitoring to ensure production-grade stability and reliability.
- **Technical documentation:** Actively document model architectures, data lineage, and decision logic to ensure reproducibility, facilitate peer review, and maintain long-term institutional knowledge.
- **Cross-Functional Collaboration:** You will partner closely with Data Engineers, Product Managers, and Revenue leaders to embed predictive algorithms into live APIs and deliver scalable data products that solve real-world enterprise problems.
WE ARE HOPING YOU HAVE
- Degree in a STEM discipline (Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field); a Master’s or PhD is preferred but not required.
- 3+ years of data science experience specializing in B2B environments, with expertise in spatio-temporal modeling, time-series forecasting, and weather data intelligence.
- High proficiency in Google BigQuery (SQL, window functions, query optimization, and large-scale data manipulation).
- Advanced expertise in Python for statistical modeling, data science, and graphical visualization (e.g., Matplotlib, Seaborn, or Plotly), with hands-on experience using core ML libraries including NumPy, SciPy, Scikit-learn, and TensorFlow or PyTorch.
- Experience working with distributed computing frameworks (e.g., Apache Spark) to process large-scale datasets.
- Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain complex ideas to an audience with a non-technical background
NICE TO HAVE
- Proven experience developing and deploying Deep Learning models in industry or research environments.
- Familiarity with deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines for automated reporting, intelligent customer support routing, or unstructured data processing.
- Experience scaling models across large datasets using distributed processing frameworks.
