Data Scientist

Who we are:

Customers use our platform to manage equipment rentals: reservations, check-out, damage photos, invoicing and QuickBooks sync. Since 2006, the company has sold practice management software to dental and veterinary clinics in the UAE. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

About the role:

We are adding headcount to this team, so this is a new seat. Expect messy, real data and a fair amount of time on feature engineering and validation. We're hiring another Data Scientist to build models and run analyses that change decisions on pricing, retention and demand. Remote position. Most of the team is in Sharjah, but nobody is required to come in. We do not have many meetings. Most updates happen in writing. Communication happens mostly in Slack and short video calls.

What you'll work on:

• Present findings to product, marketing and finance leaders with clear recommendations.
• Segment customers and build churn and lifetime value models.
• Develop time series forecasts with Prophet, statsmodels or gradient-boosted approaches.
• Validate model performance and document assumptions and limitations.
• Work with ML engineers to move models into production and monitor drift.
• Review peers' analyses for statistical correctness.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of applied data science experience.
• Experience building and validating machine learning models on real business data.
• Familiarity with Git and working in shared codebases.

Nice to have:

• Bayesian methods with PyMC or Stan.
• Pricing or marketing mix modelling.

Compensation and benefits:

• Medical insurance.
• 30 days annual leave.
• Tax-free salary.
• Visa provided.
• End of service gratuity.
• Annual bonus.

Start: Immediately.
