About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist to lead the development of scalable, production-grade models and analytics systems that power core platform that our Products run on
This is a high-impact role where you'll work on problems at the intersection of language understanding, user behavior prediction, decision optimization, and platform-level intelligence. You will be embedded in product-driven teams, while also collaborating with infrastructure and research to shape the future of intelligence at interface.ai.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and deploy machine learning models for use cases like intent recognition, conversation scoring, outcome prediction, and next-best-action systems
- Design and run A/B and multivariate experiments to validate hypotheses and measure product impact
- Build real-time and batch inference pipelines in collaboration with engineering
- Define, instrument, and maintain data pipelines for user interaction modeling, longitudinal engagement, and behavioral segmentation
- Develop intelligence layers for customer-facing analytics products (e.g., AI explainability, task attribution, feature impact modeling)
- Partner with product managers, engineers, and UX teams to define data-informed product features
- Translate complex model outcomes into actionable insights for internal and external stakeholders
- Stay current with research and best practices in Voice models, decision modeling, time-series analysis, and agentic AI architectures
What Success Looks Like
Within your first 6–12 months, you will:
- Launch production-grade models that are actively used in product features or operations workflows
- Define and validate key behavioral or predictive models that influence roadmap direction
- Improve accuracy, performance, or interpretability of existing AI systems across voice and chat products
- Drive measurable lift in engagement, resolution rate, or automation through data-driven product iterations
- Collaborate across departments to establish trusted experimentation and measurement frameworks
What You Bring
Required
- 5+ years of experience in applied data science, including end-to-end model development and deployment
- Strong knowledge of Python, R, SQL, and experience with ML libraries such and deep learning frameworks.
- Experience with statistical testing, experiment design, and causal inference
- Understanding of production ML pipelines and collaboration with data engineering teams
- Experience with speech models, conversational systems, or classification models in user-facing applications
- Strong product thinking—able to translate model insights into product impact and roadmap trade-offs
Preferred
- Experience working in B2C environments especially in regulated industries (e.g., financial services, healthcare)
- Exposure to retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), embedding-based search, or LLM evaluation frameworks
- Familiarity with tools like Airflow, MLflow, dbt, or feature stores
- Prior work in chatbots, IVRs, or user feedback systems
Why Join Us
- Data science is central to our product innovation strategy
- You’ll have a direct, measurable impact on customer outcomes and platform intelligence

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
