Digital Technology Specialist - Data Science

About the Role
As organizations increasingly adopt AI-enabled and agentic ways of working, we are seeking individuals who possess strong scientific and engineering fundamentals alongside curiosity, adaptability, and a bias for execution. Success in the Digital Technology Specialist role requires a rapid understanding of emerging technologies, collaboration across disciplines, and contribution throughout the entire solution lifecycle—from problem framing and experimentation through deployment, operationalization, and continuous improvement. Experience in Oil & Gas and an appreciation for the importance of domain context in solving real business problems are highly valued.

Responsibilities
As a Digital Technology Specialist, you will be responsible for:

• Identifying, framing, and solving complex business and operational challenges using data science, machine learning, AI, optimization, and software engineering techniques.
• Designing, developing, testing, deploying, and maintaining end-to-end data and AI solutions that create measurable business impact.
• Translating analytical concepts into scalable, reliable, and maintainable production systems.
• Contributing across the full solution lifecycle, including requirements discovery, experimentation, development, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• Collaborating with domain experts to incorporate operational context and business constraints into solution design.
• Leveraging modern AI-assisted development practices and emerging technologies to accelerate delivery while maintaining engineering rigor, quality, and governance.
• Working closely with data engineers and platform teams to ensure data quality, reliability, scalability, and observability.
• Evaluating new technologies, frameworks, and methodologies, adopting them where they provide meaningful business value.
• Communicating technical findings and recommendations effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Contributing actively within Agile teams operating across multiple locations, functions, and time zones.
• Documenting, sharing, and promoting best practices that improve team effectiveness and technical excellence.

Qualifications
To be successful in this role you will:

• Hold a bachelor's degree in computer science, Data Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Information Systems, or another STEM discipline.
• Have a minimum of 4 years of professional experience in data science, machine learning, analytics, software engineering, or a closely related technical field.
• Demonstrate experience delivering solutions from concept through production deployment.
• Possess strong programming and software engineering fundamentals.
• Show proven ability to learn and apply new technologies, frameworks, and methodologies in rapidly evolving environments.

Technical Expertise

• Strong proficiency in Python and experience developing production-quality software.
• Familiarity with modern development ecosystems and cloud-native technologies, such as:
  • Python
  • TypeScript
  • Go and/or Rust
  • AWS
  • Databricks
  • Git-based CI/CD pipelines
  • Containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes
• Experience with machine learning, AI, optimization, statistical analysis, and data-driven decision-making.
• Familiarity with large language models (LLMs), generative AI, agentic systems, and AI application development.
• Understanding of software architecture, testing, deployment, monitoring, and operational excellence.
• Experience working with structured, semi-structured, and time-series industrial data.
• Strong data visualization, storytelling, and stakeholder communication skills.

Domain Knowledge

• Experience in Oil & Gas, energy, industrial operations, manufacturing, or related sectors is strongly preferred.
• Ability to combine domain understanding with analytical and engineering expertise to solve practical business problems.
• Familiarity with operational workflows, reliability, production optimization, asset performance, or related industrial challenges is advantageous.

Leadership & Collaboration

• Demonstrated ability to contribute effectively within cross-functional and geographically distributed teams.
• Strong critical thinking, systems thinking, and problem-solving capabilities.
• Ability to balance experimentation with disciplined execution.
• Experience working in Agile delivery environments.
• Capacity to influence technical direction through evidence, collaboration, and demonstrated results.

Desired Mindset & Ways of Working
Successful candidates will demonstrate behaviors aligned with the culture and aspirations of our organization. In particular, we value individuals who:

• Embrace change and continuously learn in rapidly evolving technology environments.
