Data Scientist II

Clinical trials run at hundreds of sites, managed by our clinical operations group and CRO partners. Since 1980, the company has built manufacturing sites in Queensland and abroad.

Job summary:

We are backfilling a position after an internal move. We're hiring another Data Scientist II to build models and run analyses that change decisions on pricing, retention and demand. Our headquarters is in Gold Coast, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in the UAE, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. Core hours overlap with Sydney business hours until mid-afternoon. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

What you'll do:

• Present findings to product, marketing and finance leaders with clear recommendations
• Pull and shape data with SQL from Snowflake, BigQuery or Databricks
• Build predictive models in Python using scikit-learn, XGBoost or LightGBM
• Validate model performance and document assumptions and limitations
• Design and analyse A/B tests, including power calculations and guardrail metrics
• Partner with data engineering on feature tables and data quality

What you need:

• 2+ years of applied data science experience
• Comfort with Jupyter, VS Code or Databricks notebooks
• Familiarity with Git and working in shared codebases
• Solid grasp of statistical inference, regression and experimental design
• Ability to communicate uncertainty and tradeoffs to non-technical audiences
• MS or PhD in statistics, economics, computer science, physics or another quantitative field, or a BS plus equivalent experience
• Data visualization in matplotlib, seaborn, Plotly or a BI tool

Preferred:

• Causal inference beyond A/B testing
• Published research or strong Kaggle results
• Bayesian methods with PyMC or Stan

Salary: AED 31,000 - AED 40,000/month

What we offer:

• Health insurance through our employer-of-record partner
• Flexible hours
• Annual learning budget
• Wellness allowance
• Annual team retreat

Candidates must be eligible to work in United Arab Emirates.

Start: Within 30 days.
