At Mindera, we believe that software is built by people, for people with high performance systems that impact users worldwide. We are looking for a SeniorData Scientist to join an agile, collaborative team where your voice matters as much as your code.

The Data Scientist is a high-level individual contributor who leads complex data science initiatives that impact the Core Tech roadmap. This role focuses on translating complex marketing and product challenges into data-driven recommendations. Working with significant independence, the Senior Data Scientist develops predictive models and performance reporting frameworks that enable stakeholders across the organization to make informed investment decisions.

We value empathy, self-organization, and the courage to take risks. If you love solving complex problems and believe that teaching others is the best way to learn, you’ll feel right at home here.

We’re looking for someone who loves to build, learn, and guide others. You’ll be working closely with our leadership (CEO/COO) and our clients, so clear communication and a collaborative spirit are key.

💪 How You'll Contribute

Business Insight & Problem Definition: Partner closely with marketing and product teams to diagnose business challenges and define appropriate data metrics, analyses, and interpretations to drive strategic decisions.
Statistical Modeling: Define requirements for and lead the creation, monitoring, and iterative improvement of key statistical models used for marketing spend optimization and product growth.
Narrative & Visualization: Design clear, unambiguous narratives and data visualizations to communicate model outputs and analysis results to broad, non-technical audiences.
