About the Role

Snapdocs is looking for a Senior Data Science Operations Specialist to lead high-impact projects at the intersection of data science, product operations, and automation. In this role, you’ll own mission-critical initiatives within one of our Data Science Pods—guiding project teams, improving processes, and directly contributing to the performance of our machine learning systems.

You’ll operate with a high degree of autonomy and partner cross-functionally with teams across Data Science, Engineering, Customer Success, and Product. This is a hybrid role where you’ll flex between individual contributor work and project leadership, helping us scale our ML-powered document processing capabilities.

• Monitor QC dashboards, flag anomalies, and make iterative improvements
• Clean and process datasets to power model development, including historical document data
• Own tasks from start to finish, including model evaluation and post-deployment monitoring

Drive Automation & Scale

• Partner with internal stakeholders to scope and implement solutions that increase efficiency
• Take ownership of documentation, process improvement initiatives, and feedback loops to improve our ML tooling and operations
• Act as an internal expert on document classification and annotation best practices

Who You Are

• A proven project manager who can juggle competing priorities while keeping teams on track
• A process-minded operator who can both follow and improve on existing workflows
• Someone who enjoys bridging the gap between data science, operations, and business impact
• Self-directed, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, remote-first environment
