Find out more at [artefact.com](https://www.artefact.com/). ## What you will be doing Artefact is looking for a Senior AI & Data Scientist: a scientist who owns models end to end, from problem framing through production. You will work across the full modeling spectrum — forecasting, classification, clustering, and causal analysis on one engagement; fine-tuning experiments and LLM evaluation on the next. You will own your models: the data behind them, the methodology, the deployment, and the story told to the client. You will also help junior scientists grow. - Translate business and marketing challenges into analytical use cases with clear hypotheses and success metrics. - Develop statistical and machine learning models: regression, forecasting, classification, clustering, and causal inference. - Select techniques based on business context, constraints, and data availability — and be able to justify the choice. - Ship production-ready solutions: training, deployment, monitoring, and ongoing refinement. - Run fine-tuning experiments: dataset curation, SFT, LoRA/PEFT, and rigorous evaluation of results against baselines. - Build evaluation suites for LLM systems: benchmarks, LLM-as-judge patterns, and regression tests. - Work with embeddings and retrieval where they affect answer quality. - Contribute to model selection decisions: prompting vs. RAG vs. fine-tuning, cost vs. quality vs. latency. - Build data pipelines for ingestion, transformation, and quality assurance across diverse data sources. - Create clear visualizations and dashboards that support data storytelling and decision making. - Present findings to client stakeholders, translating methodology into business language. - Mentor junior data scientists and use AI-assisted tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI) to raise the whole team's pace. ## What we are looking for - 3–5 years of relevant data science experience with a substantial quantitative skill set. - Strong knowledge of statistics and ML algorithms, with at least one proven experience developing and deploying models. - Proficiency in Python (scikit-learn, XGBoost; PyTorch a strong plus) and solid SQL. - Hands-on experience with LLMs: evaluation, RAG, or fine-tuning experiments (professional or substantial personal projects). - Specialization in at least one major AI platform ecosystem — Google (Gemini, Vertex AI), Anthropic (Claude), or OpenAI — and familiarity with a cloud platform (GCP, Azure, or AWS). - Comfort with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Cursor. - Excellent interpersonal and communication skills: you can present methodology and results to non-technical audiences. - Master's degree (or higher) in statistics/mathematics, engineering, computer science, economics, or a related field, or equivalent experience. Preferred: - Causal inference, time series, or advanced statistics experience. - Hugging Face Transformers, LoRA/PEFT, or open-weight model experience. - MLOps exposure: model versioning, pipelines, monitoring. - Cloud certifications, especially Google Cloud Professional Machine Learning Engineer. - ## Why Join Us We are united by our values and strengthened by our hybrid expertise. - There is always a way: We're from the breed of does, of diggers, of makers. Because ideas are valuable only if executed. - Client trust is won on the field: Addressing client needs flows better hands on at their side. - If not used, it is useless: Our love for technology translates into a steep desire for adoption, true brilliance is about impact. - If not shared, our work is not done: Sharing knowledge is the best way to button up a mission, benefitting clients and colleagues. - We learn everyday: Tech is a land where everything moves at the speed of light, you better be ready to challenge yourself. ## How We Support Our People In addition to our values-driven culture, we offer a range of benefits and programs designed to support our employees' growth and well-being, including: - Learning and Development: Work alongside a multidisciplinary team of AI, data, and consulting experts who are committed to continuous learning, knowledge sharing, and professional growth. - Hybrid Flexibility: Our hybrid work model gives you the flexibility to balance collaboration, client needs, and personal commitments. - Comprehensive Benefits: We offer a competitive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) plan with company matching, and paid parental leave. - Time to Recharge: We believe sustainable performance matters. That's why we offer unlimited paid time off, giving you the flexibility to take the time you need. - Growth Opportunities: As a rapidly growing organization, you'll have the opportunity to expand your skills, take on new challenges, and help shape the future of the company. ## About Welcome to the Jungle ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Artefact is a global data and AI consulting firm that helps organizations accelerate AI adoption and generate business impact through data engineering, digital marketing, and strategic transformation. - **Entity Type**: Private (stage not disclosed) - **Headquarters**: Paris, France - **Founded**: Not publicly available - **Founders**: Not publicly available (Executive Chairman is Vincent Luciani) ## Core Business - **Primary industries**: Data & AI Consulting, Digital Marketing, Technology Services - **Target customers**: B2B – enterprise and mid-market brands across sectors such as retail, finance, operations, and support functions - **Mission**: “We accelerate AI and Data adoption to positively impact people and organizations.” ## Products & Services Artefact’s three complementary offerings are delivered through multidisciplinary “Feature Teams”: - **Data Consulting**: End-to-end data strategy, governance, and analytics; building scalable data platforms and operating models. - **Digital Marketing**: Full-funnel performance marketing including SEO, PPC, programmatic, paid social, CRM, and affiliate marketing; certified in Google Marketing Platform, Microsoft Advertising, Amazon Ads, Meta, etc. - **AI & IT Technologies**: Design and deployment of AI/ML systems, agentic workflows, analytics/BI infrastructure, and secure, sovereign data environments.
