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.
Benefits:
- Top-tier health benefits and life insurance
- Long-term group savings with employer match, through Wealthsimple for Business
- 20 vacation days, 4 wellness days, and unlimited sick and mental health days per year
