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
Lead the full AI product lifecycle: from identifying user pain points and defining KPIs to training foundation models and measuring real-world impact.
Design and execute rigorous experiments (A/B tests, causal inference) to validate new AI features and drive product optimizations.
Partner with Product Managers, Designers, and Engineers to translate business goals into a technical AI roadmap, ensuring our model development stays aligned with user needs and technical feasibility.
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.
