Job description
that create leverage quickly, then refine them based on traction - Own end-to-end execution across data exploration, modeling, experimentation, backend integration, and productization - Partner with engineering, product, design, and leadership to turn rough ideas into shipped capabilities - Use ML, analytics, heuristics, and automation pragmatically rather than forcing a model where one is not needed - Define success metrics, instrument outcomes, and improve solutions based on real-world usage - Help shape how GitKraken uses AI and data to improve developer workflows, team velocity, and product experience Our Tech Lens We value strong fundamentals over a rigid checklist and are always open to adopting new technologies. Here is a snapshot of our current ecosystem: - Languages: Python (for data/ML execution), alongside Go and TypeScript across our core product and backend environments - Data & Infrastructure: Snowflake for data warehousing, AWS for cloud infrastructure, and Datadog
Requirements
for monitoring and observability - AI Ecosystem & DevEx: We heavily leverage and build around modern AI development tools and LLMs like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex to accelerate execution and shape the future of workflows What We're Looking For - Deep experience in machine learning, applied AI, or a similarly hands-on product data role at a Senior level - A track record of shipping data or ML-powered capabilities into real products or operational workflows - Comfort moving from messy problem statements to practical execution without a lot of structure - Ability to work across the stack, not just in notebooks - Strong product judgment and a bias toward simple solutions that deliver measurable value - Experience deciding whether a problem is best solved with ML, rules, analytics, automation, or workflow design - Ability to balance speed and rigor, including knowing when "good enough to learn" is the right answer - Strong communication skills
Benefits & conditions
and the ability to explain tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical partners - Ownership mindset: you don't wait for perfect specs, and you follow through from idea to impact Bonus Points - You've built and shipped data or ML-powered features, not just analyses - You can prototype quickly and are comfortable refining after launch - You know how to avoid getting buried in edge cases before the core value is proven - You like working in a company with a bias toward action, accountability, and high ownership - You want your work to directly influence product direction and business outcomes How You'll Be Rewarded - Excellence - Competitive compensation with annual performance-based pay increa
