Senior Data Scientist / MLOPS
AI Summary
Senior Data Scientist at Xebia focusing on productionizing AI/ML models for aviation operations, including flight delay prediction, maintenance planning, and crew scheduling, with an emphasis on deploying models at scale in live environments.
About this role
Senior Data Scientist | Amsterdam | Hybrid
We're looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our growing Data team working at the intersection of Data Science and Machine Learning Engineering. As part of this team, you'll turn that data into tools and models that help crews and planners make better, faster decisions and build sustainable solutions for the aviation of the future.
This isn't a role about isolated proof-of-concepts. The focus is on getting models robust and running at scale in a live environment: from analysis and model development through to testing, monitoring and maintaining them once they're actually in use.
What you'll work on
Extracting insights from fast-growing operational and flight data sources
Building and productionizing AI/ML models that predict flight delays, optimize maintenance planning, and support smarter crew scheduling.
Contributing to large-scale optimization and simulation projects
Developing tools that make complex operational processes more transparent for planners and crews, supporting faster decision-making
Working with real-time data and smart calculations to improve the passenger and crew experience
Requirements
