AI-First Data Scientist

Job Description

CSC Generation is building an AI-driven retail operating system. Our brands—including Sur La Table, One Kings Lane, and Backcountry—rely on intelligent decision-making rooted in data. We're hiring an AI-First Data Scientist who combines statistical know-how with AI tooling and automation instincts.

This is a technical, hands-on role. You’ll build causal models, apply advanced machine learning techniques (e.g., Double ML), and develop internal data tools.

What You Get To Do Every Day

• Conduct causal analysis and treatment effect estimation to guide high-stakes decisions.
• Build AI-powered internal tools that automate analytical tasks and surface insights.
• Develop and own dashboards and data pipelines.
• Partner directly with business leaders to translate questions into testable hypotheses.
• Identify opportunities to automate recurring analyses via custom GPTs, scripts, or workflow platforms like n8n.
• Work closely with engineering and data platform teams to improve data cleanliness, accessibility, and documentation.

What You Bring To The Role

• 1–3 years of experience in data science, quantitative analysis, or machine learning.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Statistics, Economics, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related quantitative field.
• Expertise in causal inference frameworks—especially Double ML, A/B testing, and other counterfactual methods.
• Strong coding skills in Python or R; experience with SQL, Jupyter, and version control (Git).
• Comfortable building data pipelines and working with large datasets.
• Proficiency with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or custom GPTs.
• Curious, fast-learning, and deeply motivated to solve business problems through analysis and automation.
• Experience with workflow automation (e.g., n8n, Make, Zapier) is a plus.

What’s in it for you?

• Executive Access: Work directly with brand CEOs and senior leadership.
• AI-First Skill Building: Get hands-on with the most advanced AI tools in the market.
• Accelerated Career Path: High performers are quickly entrusted with greater responsibility.
• Competitive benefits: Paid time off policies, 401(k)/RRSP match, medical/dental/vision, and employee discounts.
