Data Scientist

About Ghamut:

Ghamut Corporation is a boutique AI and strategy consultancy; we build scalable machine learning systems and deliver empirical analysis under ambiguity for global pharmaceutical firms, federal health agencies, major foundations, and large financial institutions.

The Role:

We are hiring a full-time data scientist who can own end-to-end technical engagements; from problem framing to deployment, and from analysis to polished client presentations. You will typically be the primary technical lead on an engagement, supported by a founding partner who provides oversight and reviews key deliverables.

Success at Ghamut tends to require four capabilities:

1. Full-stack AI development; you can build AI systems (not just models), end-to-end.
2. Problem formulation under ambiguity; many projects begin with questions, not specs.
3. Communication of insights; you can deliver client-facing presentations with clarity and rigor.
4. Professional execution; high-stakes work with tight timelines; occasional evening/weekend effort near deadlines; professional conduct and presentation expected in client settings.

Responsibilities:

• Lead technical execution of client projects from start to finish.
• Define a defensible technical approach in ambiguous problem spaces.
• Collect, clean, and analyze data; produce clear visualizations and dashboards.
• Train, evaluate, and deploy AI/ML models.
• Build deployable systems using Python backends and modern front-end tooling.
• Host solutions on AWS; manage infrastructure-as-code.
• Produce polished outputs; codebases, dashboards, reports, and client-facing slide decks.
• Communicate progress and risks early; deliver professional, timely results.

Work Model, Hours and Reporting:

• The position is Fully remote.
• Ghamut operates in Eastern Time (ET); U.S.-based employees are expected to work primarily during 9am to 5pm ET but may need to work after hours if performance expectations are not met.
• Formal business attire is required for any client-facing meetings (including video meetings).

Compensation and benefits

• Base salary is determined using U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data; your position within the range is assessed using the criteria defined by the National Compensation Survey (NCS).
• Eligible employees may receive performance-based bonuses.
• Health reimbursement plan available.
• Paid time off + holidays: 15 days/year
• Paid sick leave: 10 days/year.
