New Data Scientist postings at the employers we follow are down 4% over the last 6 weeks compared with the 6 before.
Each bar is one week of new postings. The darkest bars are the last 6 weeks.
Counted from the hiring pages we’ve followed for at least five weeks, so employers we add don’t look like growth. Updated weekly.
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.

In this role, you'll be the DRI (Directly Responsible Individual) for the Money Movement and Payments domains.

Build client-facing ML & AI products, such as spend insights.
Design & implement measurement strategy for upcoming product launches, including metric definition, geo-experimentation and otherwise incrementality analyses.
Design & build data pipelines and architecture for modelled datasets.
Use causal inference and complex statistical methods to deep dive into the product problems pace in order to provide actionable insights rooted in a deep understanding of client behaviour.
Leverage AI to build agentic workflows, deepen your craft and handle operational tasks efficiently.
Take ownership and ship it—continuously look for the simplest, most effective way to approach challenges.

Is experienced working directly with cross-functional partners, preferably having worked with director-level stakeholders.
Is passionate about measurement and understanding what drives business outcomes, navigating the complexities of attribution and incrementality.
Has driven high-stakes product decisions (e.g., pricing, roadmap priorities) with data
Adjusts quickly to changing priorities and effectively manages complexity in a fast-paced growth environment.
Values simplicity and pragmatism, knows when to build sophisticated solutions and when a simpler approach will suffice.
Strong technical skills in Python and SQL with experience building production-quality data pipelines.
Excellent communication skills and ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
Fintech experience is a bonus, but not a requirement.

Lead experimentation best practices across Wealthsimple, setting the standard for how teams design and interpret tests to make sharper product decisions.
