📍 Abu Dhabi (UAE-based)

💼 Contract Role | In-Country Delivery

🛢️ Energy • Real-Time Well Data • Advanced Modeling

💡 Job Information

We’re seeking a Senior Data Scientist based in the UAE—preferably Abu Dhabi—to support real-time well data analysis, model validation, and rapid iteration between In-Country and U.S.-based engineering teams.

This role plays a critical part in ensuring that live well data streams are accurately interpreted, model outputs remain reliable, and operational insights are quickly actioned. You will serve as the on-the-ground technical bridge, validating performance, identifying anomalies, tuning parameters, and generating high-quality metrics that accelerate global model improvement cycles.

This position requires exceptional analytical thinking, deep domain understanding, and the ability to communicate technical findings clearly across geographically distributed teams.

🧭 Key Responsibilities

• Access, analyze, and interpret live well data from in-country systems
• Validate machine learning model outputs and ensure alignment with operational expectations
• Tune local parameters to optimize predictive performance in field conditions
• Identify anomalies, data drift, and data quality issues in near real time
• Generate high-quality error metrics and structured evaluation reports
• Collaborate closely with U.S.-based scientists and engineers to accelerate model iteration
• Produce clear, thorough technical documentation to support cross-team workflows
• Communicate findings, concerns, and recommendations with precision and clarity

🎯 Ideal Candidate Profile

• Must be based in the UAE (Abu Dhabi strongly preferred)
• Senior-level experience in data science, ML modeling, or applied analytics
• Strong understanding of time-series data, anomaly detection, and model validation workflows
• Experience working with operational or real-time industrial data (energy sector is a plus)
• Ability to independently evaluate models, tune parameters, and assess data quality
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for U.S. and in-country collaboration
• Detail-oriented, structured, and highly reliable in fast-moving technical environments
