Remote: Hybrid

We're hiring a Senior Data Scientist: Founding Team, India Product Development Center(Global B2B Manufacturing Marketplace. Client name will be shared during interview process)Location: India (Hybrid)Function: Data ScienceLevel: Senior / Associate DirectorWhy This Role MattersOur client, a US-headquartered, global B2B manufacturing marketplace platform, is opening its first Product Development Center in India, and this is one of the founding hires. You will define how data science gets done here from day one, not join an existing team and follow its playbook.What makes this role different, in short:This is an experimentation-first role. Roughly 40% of the job is designing, running, and interpreting experiments, not building dashboards or reporting metrics. If you haven't owned an A/B test end-to-end (design, sample size, read-out, causal inference), this isn't the right fit.Not a BI or MLOps role. We're not looking for a Tableau/visualization specialist or an ML infrastructure engineer. We need someone who has been inside an organization that runs real experiments and has helped shape them from inception to production.E-commerce or B2B marketplace background preferred. Experience at companies like Wayfair, Amazon, or similar scaled marketplaces is a strong signal. Indian companies often underinvest in experimentation rigor, so this specific muscle matters.Senior IC role, not a people-manager track. At this level in India, many solid candidates default to management. This role stays hands-on, deep in the data, the experiment design, and the analysis.You'll work directly with international, cross-functional stakeholders.
