Job Title: Data Science Engineer Location: Chicago, IL-Remote/Hybrid

About Us

: At Predictive Sales AI (PSAI) , we're redefining how technology and intelligence transform digital marketing. Our AI-powered software enables home services businesses to make smarter, faster decisions--fueling growth through automation, prediction, and precision. We're seeking a Data Science Engineer to build, scale, and operate the data and ML foundations behind predictive sales AI (lead scoring, pipeline risk, churn/renewal prediction, forecasting, and next-best-action recommendations). In this role, you'll partner closely with Data Science, Product, and Operations to deliver trusted data products and production-ready model pipelines that drive measurable revenue impact. Job

Overview

: As a Data Science Engineer to build and run reliable, scalable data pipelines that bring together CRM, marketing, product, and external data into well-modeled warehouse/lakehouse datasets. You'll ensure data is accurate and production-ready through strong quality checks, monitoring, SLAs, and continuous improvements, while optimizing performance and cost. You'll also partner with engineering and analytics/ML teams to design instrumentation, integrate new sources, and deliver ML-ready datasets and feature pipelines, supported by solid documentation, CI/CD practices, and team mentorship.

Key Responsibilities

:

• Build and operate scalable data pipelines (batch and, where needed, near-real-time) that ingest data from CRMs, marketing platforms, product events, and external sources.
• Develop and optimize warehouse/lakehouse models to support predictive modeling and customer reporting (clean schemas, documented definitions, efficient querying).
• Implement data quality and reliability standards: automated validation, anomaly detection, audits, and reconciliation; drive corrective action and prevention.
• Own production readiness for pipelines: monitoring, alerting, SLAs, incident response, and postmortems with durable improvements.
• Support ML workflows by producing ML-ready datasets and feature pipelines that are time-aware and leakage-resistant.
• Integrate new data sources via APIs, connectors, and event streams; design secure and maintainable ingestion patterns.
• Partner with engineering on product initiatives by advising on instrumentation, data architecture, and scalable integration approaches.
• Improve performance and cost through query tuning, incremental processing, partitioning, and compute/storage optimization.
• Contribute to automation and CI/CD for data workflows: version control, testing, deployment processes, and environment management.
• Document systems and best practices (data contracts, runbooks, lineage, ownership) and mentor junior team members through reviews and pairing. Desired Traits: We are looking for an individual who is organized, proactive, and detail- oriented. In this role, you will work closely with teams across the company. Here's what we're looking for:
• Ownership mindset with a reliability-first approach
• Strong SQL/Python and a high attention to data quality
• Scales systems thoughtfully (performance/cost aware, maintainable designs)
• Collaborative communicator across engineering, RevOps, and analytics
• Documents well and supports others through reviews/mentorship Required Skills and Experience:
• 3+ years of experience in data engineering (or equivalent experience delivering production-grade pipelines).
• Strong proficiency in SQL and Python (or Scala).
• Hands-on experience with cloud data services (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and modern data warehouses/lakehouses.
• Experience with distributed processing tools such as Spark/Databricks (or similar).
• Working knowledge of data modeling (dimensional modeling, normalization) and performance optimization.
• Comfortable operating production systems (monitoring, alerting, incident response) and collaborating across teams. Why Join Us?
• Innovative Environment: Be part of a forward-thinking company that values creativity and encourages the exploration of new ideas.
• Professional Growth: Access opportunities for continuous learning and career advancement within a supportive and dynamic team.
• Comprehensive
