About the role
- Senior Data Scientist handling AI product lifecycle for Wealthsimple. Working at the intersection of AI research and product development to create real-world impact for clients.
Responsibilities

- Build and maintain production-grade training pipelines and evaluation harnesses using reproducible, well-tested code.
- Analyze production feedback and user interactions to iteratively refine models and maximize value.
- Foster a collaborative culture: mentor teammates, simplify complex problems, and drive iterative, high-impact delivery.
Requirements
- Deep product sense: define success metrics, translate vague business objectives into measurable hypotheses, and measure product impact through A/B testing and causal inference.
- Experience with product analytics to derive actionable insights that inform product roadmaps.
- Proven track record of converting model outputs into business outcomes; comfortable communicating technical findings to cross-functional partners (PMs, designers, engineers) to drive alignment.
- Experience designing, training, and shipping production AI models, with depth in transformer architectures and LLMs.
- Solid fundamentals (attention, tokenization, embeddings, regularization) and failure mode analysis.
- Familiarity with fine-tuning (LoRA, adapters), knowledge distillation, quantization, and instruction tuning.
