Senior Manager Data Science
Role Overview
Use data from the Compass AI inference platform, sovereign AI, and enterprise LLM services to improve products and decisions.
Analyze customer usage and friction, then translate findings into product features, routing and optimization decisions, and roadmap direction.
This is an end-to-end, hands-on individual-contributor role focused on analysis, experimentation, and data products.
Product managers own roadmap prioritization; engineering teams own platform and production systems. The role informs decisions but does not own product strategy.

About Core42
Core42 provides AI-powered cloud and digital infrastructure, including sovereign AI infrastructure and high-performance compute for regulated sectors.
The opportunity
Use data from the Compass AI inference platform, sovereign AI, and enterprise LLM services to improve products and decisions.
Analyze customer usage and friction, then translate findings into product features, routing and optimization decisions, and roadmap direction.
This is an end-to-end, hands-on individual-contributor role focused on analysis, experimentation, and data products.
Product managers own roadmap prioritization; engineering teams own platform and production systems. The role informs decisions but does not own product strategy.
Responsibilities
- Analyze large-scale usage, performance, and cost data to understand customer behavior, friction, adoption, retention, and growth.
- Design and run experiments, including A/B tests, causal analyses, and statistical evaluations.
- Build customer-facing data products such as usage analytics, model rankings, task classification, and recommendations.
- Develop models, classifiers, and scoring or ranking systems for model and provider selection.
- Define product metrics and connect them to roadmap and architectural decisions.
- Partner with product, engineering, and customer-facing teams to ship features.
- Contribute to data models, pipelines, and the analytical warehouse.
- Evaluate model quality through online and offline evaluations, benchmarking, and human-in-the-loop assessment.
- Communicate findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leadership.
Required qualifications
- Degree background in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field; Master’s or PhD is a plus.
- 8+ years in data science, applied ML, or a quantitative product role.
- Strong statistical and experimental foundations, including experimental design, A/B testing, and causal inference.
- Strong SQL for complex, performant queries against large analytical databases.
- Proficiency in Python or a similar language for analysis, model prototyping, simulations, and data pipelines.
- Experience shipping production data products such as models, classifiers, ranking systems, or automated decisioning.
- Ability to partner with product and engineering to deliver customer-facing features.
- Fluency with AI and LLM behavior and evaluation; excellent written and verbal communication.
Preferred qualifications
- LLM evaluation and benchmarking, including online or offline evaluations and human-in-the-loop assessment.
- Familiarity with AI inference and model-serving concepts such as latency, throughput, cost, and routing.
- Experience with developer platforms, APIs or SDKs, usage-based products, data modeling, or modern warehouse tools.
- NLP or ML engineering experience with classifiers, embeddings, or ranking models.
- Experience in regulated, sovereign, or enterprise environments, or familiarity with Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud.
Work style and success
The role calls for bias to action, comfort with ambiguity, clear communication, and heavy use of modern AI tools.
Success means measurable improvements in customer experience, adoption, retention, and customers’ ability to optimize AI usage.
Experiments and trusted product metrics should inform product, routing, and roadmap decisions; analytical foundations should scale with the business.
Benefits
- Competitive salary package based on skills and experience; performance-based yearly bonus.
- Esaad and Fazaa discount cards, family health coverage including dental, vision, and life insurance, and access to learning platforms.
