Principal Data Scientist

Verizon · Irving, TX · 4 days ago
Engineering$121k–$231k/yrFull-time

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Architect AI-Driven Decision Systems: Design and implement RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems that ground LLMs in proprietary supply chain data to provide accurate, real-time strategic recommendations.
  • Optimize Complex Operations: Use Gurobi to solve high-dimensional supply chain constraints, moving beyond simple heuristics to find the mathematically "best" path for our global operations.
  • Accelerate with AI-Native Workflows: Utilize advanced coding assistants like Claude Code within VS Code to automate boilerplate and focus your energy on strategic problem-solving.
  • Drive Actionable Insights & Influencing: Lead end-to-end analytical projects, moving beyond "what happened" to prescribing solutions and proving the causal ROI of specific business interventions.
  • Master Executive Storytelling: Use AI to help synthesize complex model outputs into high-impact narratives and "What-If" simulators that speak the language of the C-suite.
  • Partner Across the Ecosystem: Collaborate with our Innovation and Enablement teams to integrate models into a robust, strategically aligned autonomous ecosystem.
  • Ensure Governance & Scalability: Build solutions that are scalable and can be governed to measure model drift and impact.

Where you'll be working

What We're Looking For

You are a "Strategic Scientist" who sees AI as a force multiplier. You have the technical depth to build a complex model from scratch, but the business acumen to know when an explainable model is the more powerful choice for a stakeholder.

  • Bachelor's degree or four or more years of work experience.
  • Six or more years of relevant experience required, demonstrated through one or a combination of work and/or military experience, or specialized training.
  • Experience as a data scientist, analyst, or statistical modeler.
  • Experience using LLMs or coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to enhance productivity and code quality.
  • Experience with Google BigQuery, Teradata, Python/R, SQL, Alteryx, and visualization tools like Tableau.

Even better if you have one or more of the following

  • Degree in business intelligence and analytics, computer science, or mathematics.
  • Master's degree.
  • Proven track record of presenting complex technical findings to non-technical senior executives.
  • Experience with Data Warehousing or Teradata SQL.
  • Knowledge of distributed computing tools, like Hive or Spark.
  • Experience with SiteCatalyst/Clickstream.
  • Experience with programming languages, like Java or Scala.

  • Up to 8 company paid holidays per year and up to 6 personal days per year.
  • Paid parental leave, adoption assistance and tuition assistance.
  • Newly hired employees receive up to 15 days of vacation per year, which grows with additional service.
