About the role

Role at BlueAlpha embedding with customer growth and marketing teams to turn data science and engineering workstreams into production solutions, combining data science, data engineering, and software/ML engineering to deliver value for customers.

Responsibilities

  • Own technical delivery for customer deployments from first prototype to production.
  • Build and maintain data pipelines that integrate marketing, product, and revenue data.
  • Develop and iterate on analytical and ML workflows (experiments, causal analysis, forecasting, response curves).
  • Turn analyses into reliable jobs or small services, not one-off notebooks.
  • Work directly with customers to understand problems, translate them into clear technical work, and present results and recommendations.
  • Design and evaluate experiments (geo holdouts, incrementality tests) with clear metrics and interpretation.
  • Generalize common patterns into reusable tools, templates, or product features.
  • Collaborate with core engineering on APIs, data models, and backend components needed for smoother deployments.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years in data science, analytics, data engineering, ML engineering, forward deployed engineering, or consulting roles, ideally with some client-facing component.
  • Strong Python and SQL skills; comfortable owning analyses, pipelines, and small services end-to-end.
  • Solid grounding in statistics and experimentation (holdouts, causal inference basics, regression, time series).
  • Experience working with real-world business data where things are messy and ambiguous.
  • Ability to move between exploration and production: from notebook to pipeline to deployed job or service.
  • Strong communication: explain model recommendations to a VP of Growth and review PR with an engineer.
  • Comfort in a fast-paced startup environment.
