This includes data preparation, model development, model evaluation, analytical workflow design, deployment support, monitoring, and communication of reliable business-facing insights.

Benefits

The annual salary for this full-time position is $95,000 – $105,000 + Superannuation

Task & responsibilities

• Collect, clean, validate, transform, and analyse structured and unstructured datasets to identify patterns, improve data quality, and generate business insights.
• Apply statistical modelling, predictive modelling, machine learning, and AI techniques to complex business datasets.
• Develop, test, evaluate, deploy, monitor, and improve machine learning models, statistical models, LLM-enabled workflows, and AI-driven analytical outputs.
• Design and implement data preparation, feature engineering, validation, and metadata workflows that support data science and AI-enabled analytics.
• Write, validate, and optimise SQL queries for structured data analysis, model inputs, and reliable analytical outputs.
• Develop Python-based analytical workflows, services, and APIs to operationalise statistical models, machine learning models, and AI-enabled outputs.
• Design and improve natural-language data access workflows, including text-to-SQL, query validation, structured response generation, and interpretation of query results.
• Work with retrieval-augmented generation, semantic search, vector embeddings, and graph-based retrieval where relevant to structured and unstructured data access.
• Use cloud-based data platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Databricks, Snowflake, or similar platforms to support data science workflows and analytical products.
• Apply reproducible data science and MLOps practices, including version control, experiment tracking, model monitoring, testing, documentation, and structured release practices.
• Generate tabular outputs, automated reporting, visualisations, dashboards, summary statistics, and narrative insights for business stakeholders.
• Collaborate with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to refine requirements, communicate technical outcomes, and deliver practical data-driven solutions.
• Maintain appropriate standards of data governance, privacy, security, access control, responsible AI use, documentation, and reproducibility.

Essential Skills

• Advanced Python skills for data science, statistical modelling, machine learning, analytical automation, and AI-enabled analytical workflows.
• Strong SQL skills and experience preparing, validating, analysing, and interpreting structured datasets.
• Strong capability in statistical modelling, predictive modelling, machine learning, model evaluation, data mining, and data quality assessment.
• Experience with natural-language data access, text-to-SQL, SQL validation, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), semantic search, embeddings, and LLM integration for analytical use cases.
• Experience with cloud-based data platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Databricks, Snowflake, or similar platforms for data science workflows, model development, and analytical products.
• Experience applying version control, CI/CD, Azure DevOps, Docker, and cloud deployment processes to support reproducible data science, machine learning and AI-enabled solutions.
• Working knowledge of graph data technologies and query languages, including Neo4j, Cypher, knowledge graphs, and graph-based retrieval, including GraphRAG, where relevant to advanced data representation and semantic retrieval.
• Ability to translate business problems into reliable, explainable, and scalable data-driven solutions.
• Ability to communicate model outputs, analytical findings, visualisations, and narrative insights clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Understanding of data governance, privacy, security, access controls, reproducibility, documentation, responsible AI practices, and production monitoring.

Qualification & experience

• A bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant quantitative discipline, such as Data Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a closely related field.
• At least one year of relevant experience in data science, statistical modelling, machine learning, applied AI, data analytics, or production data science workflows.
• Experience working with cloud-based data platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Databricks, Snowflake, or similar platforms.
