Ciklum is looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our team full time in
India.
We are a custom product engineering company that supports both multinational
organizations and scaling startups to solve their most complex business
challenges. With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers,
consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines
industries and shapes the way people live.
About the role:
As a Senior Data Scientist, become a part of a cross-functional development team
engineering experiences of tomorrow.
Responsibilities:
* Apply evaluation-driven development practices across all modeling work:
define success criteria before building, and validate against them throughout
the lifecycle
* Select the appropriate modeling approach for the problem at hand —
statistical modeling, classical ML, optimization, simulation, or GenAI —
based on data characteristics, interpretability needs, and business context,
rather than defaulting to a single technique
* Define evaluation metrics that map directly to business and process outcomes
(e.g., cost savings, cycle-time reduction, forecast accuracy, decision
quality), not just model-centric metrics (accuracy, F1, RMSE) in isolation
* Use a combination of synthetic data, historical data, and real-world
validation to test model performance, robustness, and edge-case behavior
before and after deployment
* Demonstrate and document measurable improvements in decisions, processes, or
outcomes as a required part of every delivery — not an afterthought.
* Own delivery of assigned workstreams within 45-day versioned agile release
cycles, ensuring each release ships incremental, measurable value to
stakeholders
* Collaborate with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to translate
business problems into well-scoped modeling and analytics initiatives
* Maintain clear versioning, documentation, and change logs across release
cycles to support traceability and reproducibility
* Buil
