The ideal candidate brings 5+ years of experience, exhibits excellent project leadership skills, and communicates complex statistical insights clearly across technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Yes. We’ve followed 4 other Senior Data Scientist I jobs there since May 2026. 4 came down, usually after about 9 days.
If this one keeps the same pace, it may come down around November 13.
Large employers often post one title for several teams, so these can be separate openings.
New Data Scientist postings at the employers we follow are down 3% over the last 5 weeks compared with the 5 before.
Each bar is one week of new postings. The darkest bars are the last 5 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.
