Data Science Team Leader at Product

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 Data Science Team Leader at Product is a unique position, bringing CTO-grade capabilities to the incubation and 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.

We are seeking a senior Data Scientist to join our team and take a leading role in shaping the future of our data science capabilities. We need your CTO-grade capabilities to incubate and launch the data product offering, creating value to our customers via reports and recommendations. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment, enjoys working across disciplines, and wants to see their work go from concept to impact in the real world.

Today, this is a high-impact individual contributor role. However, it is intentionally structured to evolve into a leadership position.
