Senior Data Scientist

Who We Are:

Blue Onion is reimagining data infrastructure for finance and accounting teams. We're building a new paradigm for how companies manage financial data - from monolithic software that can take a year to implement to flexible, API-first solutions.

About the Role:

We’re seeking a Senior Data Scientist to help shape the future of our platform, working at the intersection of financial data, machine learning, and cutting-edge analytics. In this role, you’ll drive meaningful insights, develop AI-powered solutions, and work closely with product and engineering to deliver scalable systems that solve real-world problems. As we grow, we want you to grow too—this role is perfect for someone who’s passionate about eventually building and leading a team of data scientists to amplify our mission.

What You’ll Do:

AI Innovation:

• Design, train, and deploy predictive models for use cases like anomaly detection, risk assessment, and trend forecasting.
• Develop applications using LLMs to parse and extract insights from unstructured data, streamlining financial workflows.
• Stay at the forefront of AI advancements to identify opportunities for implementing novel techniques in our platform.

Data Science Leadership:

• Build, optimize, and maintain data pipelines and architectures to ensure scalability and performance.
• Conduct in-depth analyses to uncover insights and deliver data-driven recommendations for strategic decisions.
• Collaborate with engineering and product teams to integrate models seamlessly into the platform.

Team Growth: Mentor junior team members and establish best practices to foster a high-performing data science culture.

Automation & Tools: Develop tools and frameworks that enhance the efficiency of internal teams and improve the customer experience.

What We’re Looking For:

Experience: 3+ years of hands-on experience in data science, machine learning, or a related field, ideally in a fast-paced or startup environment.

Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in Python, R, and SQL.
• Strong expertise in machine learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as GCP (BigQuery preferred), AWS, or Azure.
• Experience with unstructured data, LLMs, and natural language processing techniques.

Mindset:

• A problem-solver who can translate messy, real-world challenges into elegant, scalable solutions.
• A collaborator who thrives in cross-functional teams and communicates effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A future leader with a passion for building and growing a team.
