About The Role

We're looking for a Senior Data Scientist to take a leading role in building the AI that powers Constellation. You'll ship production models-generative AI, autonomous agents, and predictive models for churn, LTV, and pricing- while mentoring a growing team and shaping our technical standards. If you want your work to reach real users in regulated industries like automotive and life sciences (not sit in a notebook), this is that role.

What You'll Do

• Lead AI/ML Initiatives: Architect, prototype, and productionize ML models, including generative AI, recommendation systems, and domain-specific agents tailored to marketing, regulatory compliance, and creative workflows.
• Drive Agentic AI Capabilities: Build agent-based systems that reason, retrieve, validate, and act autonomously, supporting prompt chaining, tool usage, and evaluation feedback loops.
• Mentor & Scale the Team: Coach junior and mid-level data scientists and engineers, review code, drive standards, and help shape a culture of high performance, curiosity, and inclusivity.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with Product, Engineering, Design, and GTM teams to integrate intelligent systems into customer-facing features and internal tooling.
• Model Business-Critical Outcomes: Develop models for customer LTV, churn, content efficacy, user engagement, and pricing optimizations, leveraging both structured and unstructured data.
• Own the ML Stack: Contribute to architecture decisions on model lifecycle management, pipelines, monitoring, and experiment tracking using modern tooling like MLflow, SageMaker, or Vertex AI.
• Drive Applied Research: Stay on top of advances in transformers, large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, and probabilistic programming-and bring these innovations to production.

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years of experience in data science, ML engineering, or applied AI, with a track record of shipping models in production.
• Deep experience with Python (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn) and modern ML/DL libraries (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, LangChain).
• Strong command of SQL and data modeling in cloud warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift).
• Experience building systems using AWS (Lambda, SageMaker, EC2, Batch, S3) or similar cloud platforms.
• Solid understanding of ETL/data pipelines and orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow).
• Experience with agent-based architectures, LLMs, and real-world generative AI applications (NLP, content synthesis, summarization, retrieval).
• Familiarity with automotive or life sciences data domains is a strong plus-whether in marketing analytics, medical devices, vehicle inventory intelligence, or regulatory content.
• Outstanding communication and mentorship skills, with a collaborative mindset and a passion for helping others grow.

Bonus Experience

• Experience with probabilistic modeling (e.g., PyMC3, Stan).
• Familiarity with graph databases (e.g., Neo4j) and modeling network effects.
• Prior exposure to recommendation engines, survival models, or multi-touch attribution.
• Experience with deploying and evaluating LLMs, retrieval pipelines, or autonomous AI agents in production.
• Exposure to Looker, Tableau, or similar BI platforms.

Why Constellation?

• Work on real-world AI systems that impact regulated, high-stakes industries.
• Collaborate with a team of ambitious, principled builders who care about quality, ethics, and impact.
• Join a design-forward organization with strong product leadership and a rapidly growing client base.
• Enjoy flexibility, autonomy, and opportunities to lead across the stack.

Compensation

NY Pay Range: $170,000 - $200,000

Final package commensurate with experience. Includes base salary, equity options, and benefits.
