Lead Data Scientist

The company:

Most of the chemistry is done in-house, with animal studies run by a CRO. We spun out of a university lab in 1997 and are funding our first IND-enabling studies. Founded in 1997, we now have 17 employees. Lab coats, safety glasses and closed-toe shoes in all lab areas.

AW Pharmaceuticals needs someone comfortable with both statistics and production code. Remote within India. The team meets in Chandigarh once a quarter, travel covered. Flexible schedule. We have one team call a day, usually in the morning.

Key responsibilities:

Estimate causal effects with difference-in-differences, propensity matching or regression discontinuity. Segment customers and build churn and lifetime value models. Pull and shape data with SQL from Snowflake, BigQuery or Databricks. Design and analyse A/B tests, including power calculations and guardrail metrics. Validate model performance and document assumptions and limitations. Build predictive models in Python using scikit-learn, XGBoost or LightGBM. Review peers' analyses for statistical correctness. Package reusable code instead of leaving it in one-off notebooks.

Required qualifications:

8+ years of applied data science experience. Familiarity with Git and working in shared codebases. Ability to communicate uncertainty and tradeoffs to non-technical audiences. Experience building and validating machine learning models on real business data. 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.
