ABOUT THE ROLE

Fundamental is seeking a Forward Deployed Data Scientist - Oil & Gas, Houston to facilitate the adoption of NEXUS and collaborate with customers to address complex technical challenges with an initial focus on Houston-based Oil & Gas customers.

The Data Scientist is an integral part of our FDE team, which is dedicated to driving the successful deployment of Fundamental products and proving value over legacy baselines or net new use cases. They work hand-in-hand with customers from the Proof of Value stage to post-implementation, ensuring our solutions run securely in the client's production heartbeat.

In this role, you’ll manage customer relations involving multiple stakeholders (IT, C-suite, and data science teams) and function as a key bridge, translating field insights into our product roadmap.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- You'll individually help deploy into production use cases with considerable business impact, moving from "science experiments" to definitive ROI

- You’ll work on rigorous head-to-head benchmarking against client baselines (XGBoost, LightGBM), executing the work of data engineering, feature engineering, and validation

- You’ll work in collaboration with our research and product teams to translate operational pain points and data anomalies into essential inputs for the Fundamental roadmap

- You’ll be involved in technical strategy to identify the right business problems, prevent data leakage, and handle the "last mile" integration (VPC, on-prem, air-gapped)

- Your collaboration with the Sales and Solution Architect teams will help align diverse stakeholders and explain predictions to business users

MUST HAVE

- You hold a PhD / master in CS / Math / Stats or you have equivalent deep statistical literacy

- You have 7+ years as a technical individual contributor in Data Science, Machine Learning, Applied Science, or ML Engineering

- You have strong experience working directly with customers or business stakeholders, ideally in complex enterprise or industrial environments

- You have experience with containerization (Docker), orchestration, and writing performant APIs (FastAPI/Flask)

- You master the end-to-end pipeline, from framing, pre-processing, ml algorithm and validation strategies

- You have a deep understanding of data handling (PySpark, Pandas) and memory optimization

- You have demonstrated experience optimizing models for a specific business problem

- You hold strong communication skills with an ability to translate architectural nuances into clear business value

NICE TO HAVE

- Experience with PyTorch and cloud-native ML pipelines (AWS, GCP, Azure)

- Prior experience or understanding of Oil & Gas, energy, utilities, industrials, logistics, or heavy asset environments

- Experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Staff Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer, or Staff Data Scientist

- Industry-based subject matter expertise

BENEFITS

- Competitive compensation with salary and equity

- Comprehensive health coverage for you and your dependents, including medical, dental, vision, and 401K

- Paid parental leave for all new parents, inclusive of adoptive and surrogate journeys

- Relocation support for employees moving to join the team in one of our office locations

- A mission-driven, low-ego culture that values diversity of thought, ownership, and bias toward action

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
