Senior Data Scientist

We’re working with a high‑growth global Fin Tech to hire a Senior Data Scientist / Machine Learning Scientist for their Dubai office.

This is a business operating at significant global scale, but with a strong startup / scale‑up mindset. They move fast, build for production, and care deeply about applied machine learning — not dashboards. Because of this, we’re strongly prioritising candidates with startup experience within Fin Tech environments.

This role is heavily focused on applied machine learning, owning models end‑to‑end and seeing them deployed into live systems. You’ll work on problems such as:

• Designing, training and deploying ML models into production
• Improving model performance, monitoring drift, and retraining strategies
• Working with engineers to build ML pipelines
• Translating business problems into robust ML solutions

• 5+ years experience in Data Science / Machine Learning roles
• Startup or scale‑up experience within Fin Tech (strong preference)
• Strong experience with Python and ML frameworks (e.g. scikit‑learn, Tensor Flow, PyTorch, XGBoost)
• Experience deploying models into production environments
• Solid understanding of ML fundamentals, statistics, and optimisation
• Comfortable working in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments
• Strong collaboration skills with Engineering and Product teams

• Experience with real‑time or high‑throughput ML systems
• Exposure to MLOps, model monitoring, CI/CD for ML
• Cloud experience (AWS, GCP or Azure)
• Previous experience mentoring junior ML engineers or data scientists
