About the role

We file this job under Data Scientist, by the work the posting describes.

Data scientists use statistics and models to answer harder questions, such as whether a change worked, what demand will look like next quarter, or which customers are likely to leave.

Postings usually ask for Python or R, SQL, statistics, experiment design and common machine learning methods.

Unlike an ML engineer, a data scientist's main output is often an analysis or a first model, not software running inside a product.

About This Opportunity 

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist who thrives at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and real enterprise impact. You will work directly with some of APAC's most sophisticated organisations - helping them move from AI curiosity to AI value, across the full spectrum of predictive and generative AI.

This is not a lab role. You will be in the room with executives, data science teams, and business stakeholders - building solutions, running enablement programs, and translating complex AI into outcomes that decision-makers can act on. You will be backed by a world-class team including Kaggle Grandmasters, and equipped with H2O.ai's industry-leading platform spanning AutoML, LLM Studio, and agentic AI tooling.

This position is based in Sydney, Australia.

What You Will Do

  • Partner with stakeholders to deliver data-driven AI/ML solutions across industries such as banking, insurance, retail, healthcare, and manufacturing.
  • Build, validate, and deploy predictive ML models for forecasting, classification, optimisation, and anomaly detection.
  • Apply statistical and ML techniques (regression, trees, ensembles, time series, clustering) based on business needs.
  • Explore GenAI approaches where relevant, including LLMs, SLMs, RAG, prompt engineering, and basic agentic workflows.
  • Perform end-to-end data science work including data exploration, feature engineering, modelling, evaluation, and interpretation.
  • Translate model outputs into actionable insights for business stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams on model productionisation.
What We Are Looking For
  • 4+ years of experience in data science, machine learning, or applied AI roles.
  • Strong predictive ML foundations (feature engineering, model selection, evaluation, interpretability).
  • Experience working with real-world datasets and business problem framing.
  • Exposure to GenAI: LLMs, SLMs, RAG, prompt engineering, or agentic workflows.
  • Strong Python skills.
  • Understanding of deployment/MLOps concepts.
  • Strong communication, storytelling and presentation skills.

How to Stand Out From the Crowd

  • H2O product experience.
  • Kaggle competition experience or equivalent applied ML work.
  • Cloud or production ML exposure.
  • A/B testing or causal inference experience.
  • SLM or agentic AI exposure.
  • Open-source, research, or technical writing. 
  • Client-facing experience: scoping problems, managing expectations, and delivering solutions with customer teams.

Why H2O.ai?

  • Market leader in total rewards
  • Remote-friendly culture
  • Flexible working environment
  • Be part of a world-class team
  • Career growth
