Senior Data Scientist (Product Team)

Description:

Prisma Photonics, a fast-growing startup, transforms infrastructure monitoring with an award-winning disruptive optical fiber-based solution.

We eliminate the need for extra sensors by offering sensor-free solutions to monitor borders, critical sites, electrical power grids, and oil & gas pipelines across thousands of kilometers.

The company is VC backed and in revenues stage.

We are looking for the best minds and spirits to join us in our journey. We know our product is only as great as the individuals building the hardware and software and harnessing data for worthy causes. Being a great team member means being eager to learn and grow, able to challenge and accept being challenged, and working for the team and the product with enthusiasm and passion.

The Senior Data Scientist is a unique position, bringing CTO-grade capabilities to the incubation and initial launch process of our products. As the data scientist you understand the physics underlying the product, devise the mechanism of its operation, work together with R&D to develop it, and then analyze results coming from customer installations. Your data analytics insights feedback into the development cycle, while your quick fixes to the AI models enable rapid response to product gaps discovered.

The Senior Data Scientist at will report to the VP Product.
