## Description

We're looking for a Principal Data Scientist to help build and scale machine learning solutions that have real business impact. This is a hands-on role where you'll own the full lifecycle of your work-from identifying problems to deploying models in production and continuously improving them.
The environment is fast-moving and highly collaborative, with a strong focus on applying modern AI and ML techniques, including emerging work with large language models (LLMs).

What You'll Be Doing

 * Own end-to-end machine learning projects:
 + Define problems
 + Explore and prepare data
 + Build and validate models
 + Deploy to production and monitor performance
 * Develop solutions across areas like:
 + Customer behavior and personalization
 + Anomaly detection and fraud
 + Risk modeling and pattern recognition
 * Build and improve production ML pipelines and systems
 * Work with large-scale data platforms and complex datasets
 * Experiment with AI/LLM tools and apply them to real-world problems
 * Partner with product, engineering, and business teams to drive impact
 * Translate technical work into clear insights and recommendations
