What the job involves
- The role of a Sr 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 endeavors 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 the non-technical skills are important, so too are the technical. Our Data Scientists work on the Dataiku platform every day.
- Aside from the visual tools, our team uses mostly Python and SQL, with occasional work in other languages (e.g., R, Pyspark, JavaScript, etc.).
- An ideal candidate is excited to learn complex new technologies and modeling techniques while being able to explain their work to other data scientists and clients
- Scope and co-develop production-level data science projects with our customers across different industries and use cases
- Help users discover and master the Dataiku platform via user training, office hours, and ongoing consultative support
- Provide strategic input to the customer and account teams that help make our customers successful
- Provide data science expertise both to customers and internally to Dataiku’s sales and marketing teams
- Lead technical data science projects pre-sales scoping and design appealing proposals
- Flag technical and non-technical account risks (onboarding issues, performance pitfalls, timeline slippage)
- Develop custom Python-based “plugins” in collaboration with Solutions, R&D, and Product teams, to enhance Dataiku’s functionality
- Lead Data Scientist engagements: You will coordinate agile sprints, prioritize tasks, estimate effort, do backlog grooming
- Run demo booth/tech talk duties at company public events (e.g. Everyday AI)
- Lead Junior Data Scientist technical interview
- Contribute to 2 internal assets (internal best practice or external blog post/project on the public gallery) per year
- Ability to travel approximately 10% for customer engagements
Our take
Dataiku was founded on the principle that companies must use data to continuously innovate to succeed in a rapidly evolving ecosystem. As a centralised data platform, Dataiku guides businesses from analytics at scale to enterprise AI. It provides a common ground for data experts and explorers, offering best practices, shortcuts to AI deployment, and a controlled environment.
Customers like Unilever, GE, and Comcast use Dataiku to accelerate growth and innovation by removing roadblocks and enabling faster, smarter work. Despite substantial funding in 2023, Dataiku faced a 20% lower valuation than in 2021, indicating challenges even for successful tech firms. Nonetheless, Dataiku launched its Dataiku 11 platform in 2022, continuing to enhance its offerings.
In 2024, Dataiku announced a strategic alliance with Teragonia, a leading provider of AI solutions for private equity portfolio value creation. This collaboration leverages Dataiku's AI capabilities to enhance Teragonia's real-time analytics and strategic agility, aiming to accelerate revenue growth and profitability for clients. This partnership reflects Teragonia's trust in Dataiku's technology and underscores the platform's ability to democratise data and empower private equity firms to unlock significant value.
