I’m currently hiring for an AI & Data company in Japan that works with major banks, securities firms, and other financial institutions on advanced Data Science and AI projects.
As a Senior Data Scientist, you will lead projects from problem definition and modeling through implementation and MLOps, with a strong focus on real business impact.
The team also develops its own AI products, so knowledge from client projects can become reusable technologies and products.
What you’ll work on:
Lead Data Science and Machine Learning projects
Build ML models using large-scale structured / tabular data
Work with Python, feature engineering, and model evaluation
Design MLOps and continuous model improvement
Define technical approaches directly with clients and AI Consultants
Mentor other Data Scientists and build reusable technical assets
What they are looking for:
Strong hands-on Machine Learning / Data Science experience
Experience with Python and structured data
Experience leading technical projects or initiatives
MLOps experience is a plus
Financial industry experience is a plus, but NOT required
Business-level Japanese is required
Why this role stands out:
Compensation up to JPY 25M
Work on high-impact projects with major financial institutions
Own the full lifecycle from analysis to production
Stay hands-on while expanding into technical leadership
Opportunity to contribute to proprietary AI products
Full flex and hybrid remote work
If you are a Data Scientist looking for more ownership, larger business impact, or the opportunity to take your models beyond experimentation into production, feel free to DM me.
