Who We Are

Role
Workhelix is looking for a Data Scientist to own the analytical engine behind Nucleus, our core product, reporting directly to the Head of Engineering.
That engine starts by taking in different customer data sources and reconciling them into a structured, unified model. From there it runs the analyses that identify where AI can create value and how a company's current practices line up against those opportunities. The output is specific, actionable guidance: what to do next, for which teams, and why.
You will own that work end to end. You will also extend it; customers arrive with questions our existing analyses don't answer, and part of the job is deciding when to adapt something we have and when to build something new.
This is a production engineering role as much as an analytical one. You are not building notebooks for someone else to productionize. You write the code that ships, runs in containers, calls external services, and executes in our cloud infrastructure. You work in parallel with our product engineers and forward-deployed engineers, in their codebases as well as yours.
It is also a force-multiplier role. A meaningful part of your impact will come from building internal tools and raising the analytical fluency of the whole company, so that strategists, engineers, and leadership can answer their own questions instead of queuing behind you.
You are the only data scientist, so you set the roadmap. You will gather needs from forward-deployed strategists and product engineers, spot the patterns showing up across customers, decide what matters most, and sequence the work. This is an individual contributor role today with a clear path to leading a team as it grows.
