Senior Data Engineer & Data Scientist – Commercial Intelligence

Position Overview

International is on a bold journey to redefine commercial transportation. Evolving beyond our legacy as a truck and bus manufacturer, we are becoming a provider of integrated, sustainable transportation solutions powered by digital innovation, data, and AI. We are investing in the technologies, products, and talent that will shape the future of our industry.

 

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Data Engineer & Data Scientist – Commercial Intelligence to help build the data and intelligence foundation behind Retail Sales Management (RSM), International’s digital sales platform supporting our dealer network.

 

This is a highly hands-on technical role at the intersection of data engineering, data science, commercial strategy, and digital product development. You will create trusted, scalable commercial data products that bring together customer, prospect, dealer, vehicle, sales, service, parts, CRM, and other enterprise data and transform it into actionable intelligence embedded directly into sales workflows.

 

The challenge goes beyond building pipelines and dashboards. You will help answer the questions that matter to a salesperson: Who should I engage next? Why? What opportunity exists? And what action is most likely to create value?

 

We are looking for someone with a strong sense of ownership, curiosity, and a solution-oriented mindset: “we may not have done this before—let’s figure it out and learn quickly.”

 

This is a full-time position be based in Lisle, Illinois Monday through Thursday with hybrid in-office and remote work flexibility on Friday

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and data products supporting RSM and broader commercial intelligence capabilities.
• Integrate, normalize, and model customer, prospect, dealer, vehicle, sales, service, parts, CRM, digital interaction, and external data.
• Develop robust approaches for identity resolution, entity matching, deduplication, normalization, lineage, and data quality across complex commercial datasets.
• Build and operationalize analytical and machine-learning models for lead scoring, opportunity identification, customer segmentation, propensity, prioritization, and next-best-action recommendations.

• Design reusable commercial data models, semantic structures, and ontology concepts for customers, prospects, vehicles, dealers, opportunities, and sales activity.

• Prototype and evaluate AI/ML approaches, including generative AI and LLM-based capabilities, that improve commercial decision-making and sales effectiveness.
• Establish engineering and data-science practices covering testing, observability, documentation, governance, versioning, CI/CD, and production deployment.
• Own what you build, including operational readiness, production support, incident response, quality standards, and technical lifecycle management.
• Serve as a senior technical leader within the RSM product team, influencing architecture and technical direction while mentoring other practitioners.
• Communicate complex analytical findings and technical decisions clearly to technical teams, product leaders, commercial stakeholders, and senior leadership.

• Experience developing, deploying, and monitoring machine-learning or statistical models against large, complex datasets.
• Strong understanding of data quality, lineage, observability, governance, testing, and production operations.
• Experience solving entity resolution, identity matching, customer-360, master-data, or similar commercial data problems.
• Experience with customer, sales, CRM, marketing, vehicle, transactional, service, parts, or other commercial datasets.
• Ability to translate ambiguous commercial problems into data products, models, experiments, and measurable outcomes.
• Experience embedding analytical intelligence into operational applications and workflows.
• Familiarity with LLMs, retrieval, AI agents, or AI-assisted decision systems.
• Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction and drive outcomes across Product, Engineering, Data, and business teams.
• Highly proactive, ownership-driven mindset with the ability to operate independently in ambiguity.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Coach and mentoring of other data scientists and data engineers
