About interface.ai

interface.ai is the most advanced AI platform for financial institutions. We serve over 100 credit unions and community banks, enabling millions of intelligent conversations every day through voice, chat, and internal copilots.

As a fast-growing, AI-native company, data is at the heart of how we build, measure, and scale our products. From intelligent conversation design to customer automation analytics, we apply machine learning and statistical modeling to deliver real-time, measurable outcomes.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist to lead the development of scalable, production-grade models and analytics systems that power core platform that our Products run on

This is a high-impact role where you'll work on problems at the intersection of language understanding, user behavior prediction, decision optimization, and platform-level intelligence. You will be embedded in product-driven teams, while also collaborating with infrastructure and research to shape the future of intelligence at interface.ai.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and deploy machine learning models for use cases like intent recognition, conversation scoring, outcome prediction, and next-best-action systems
  
  
• Design and run A/B and multivariate experiments to validate hypotheses and measure product impact
  
  
• Build real-time and batch inference pipelines in collaboration with engineering
  
  
• Define, instrument, and maintain data pipelines for user interaction modeling, longitudinal engagement, and behavioral segmentation
  
  
• Develop intelligence layers for customer-facing analytics products (e.g., AI explainability, task attribution, feature impact modeling)
  
  
• Partner with product managers, engineers, and UX teams to define data-informed product features
  
  
• Translate complex model outcomes into actionable insights for internal and external stakeholders
  
  
• Stay current with research and best practices in Voice models, decision modeling, time-series analysis, and agentic AI architectures
  
  

What Success Looks Like

Within your first 6–12 months, you will:

• Launch production-grade models that are actively used in product features or operations workflows
  
  
• Define and validate key behavioral or predictive models that influence roadmap direction
  
  
• Improve accuracy, performance, or interpretability of existing AI systems across voice and chat products
  
  
• Drive measurable lift in engagement, resolution rate, or automation through data-driven product iterations
  
  
• Collaborate across departments to establish trusted experimentation and measurement frameworks
  
  

What You Bring

Required

• 5+ years of experience in applied data science, including end-to-end model development and deployment
  
  
• Strong knowledge of Python, R, SQL, and experience with ML libraries such and deep learning frameworks.
• Experience with statistical testing, experiment design, and causal inference
  
  
• Understanding of production ML pipelines and collaboration with data engineering teams
  
  
• Experience with speech models, conversational systems, or classification models in user-facing applications
  
  
• Strong product thinking—able to translate model insights into product impact and roadmap trade-offs
  
  

Preferred

• Experience working in B2C environments especially in regulated industries (e.g., financial services, healthcare)
  
  
• Exposure to retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), embedding-based search, or LLM evaluation frameworks
  
  
• Familiarity with tools like Airflow, MLflow, dbt, or feature stores
  
  
• Prior work in chatbots, IVRs, or user feedback systems
  
  

Why Join Us

• Data science is central to our product innovation strategy
  
  
• You’ll have a direct, measurable impact on customer outcomes and platform intelligence
  
  
• You’ll work on real-world AI applications with scaled deployment and product visibility
  
  
• You’ll collaborate with a cross-disciplinary team of engineers, designers, and product leaders moving at startup speed
