Are you a strategic thinker with a passion for solving large-scale problems using data? Do you enjoy mentoring high-performing teams and building ML systems that directly impact millions of users? We're looking for a Senior Principal Data Scientist to lead a team of skilled data scientists in building intelligent systems that power Meesho’s next phase of growth.

In this role, you’ll own the data science roadmap for a key business charter, guiding the team through ambiguity and complexity to deliver production-grade ML solutions. You’ll work closely with product, tech, and business leaders to translate complex challenges into scalable, measurable, and impactful outcomes. As a people and technical leader, you’ll ensure model efficiency, system reliability, and scientific excellence while fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

  • Lead, grow, and mentor a high-performing team of data scientists.

  • Own all data science systems and models in your charter — from strategy to deployment and monitoring.

  • Collaborate with senior product, engineering, and business leaders to define and prioritize impactful DS initiatives.

  • Drive platformization, system architecture decisions, and ML lifecycle improvements across the charter.

  • Ensure model scalability, performance, and cost efficiency, while upholding best practices in experimentation and statistical rigor.

  • Guide the team in reading and implementing state-of-the-art research, and facilitate build vs. buy decisions.

  • Lead RCA for critical production issues and improve system observability, documentation, and service uptime.

  • Master’s degree (PhD preferred) in Machine Learning, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.

  • 10+ years of experience in Data Science or Analytics, with at least 2–3 years of people management experience.

  • Proven track record of building and deploying ML models in production at scale.

  • Experience managing teams of 10+ data scientists and delivering across cross-functional charters.

  • Deep expertise in ML algorithms, experimental design, and performance monitoring.

  • Strong coding skills (Python, SQL) and familiarity with Big Data technologies like Spark, Hive, or Redshift.

  • Ability to translate business needs into technical solutions, prioritize roadmaps, and estimate effort accurately.

  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills with a bias for action and clarity in execution.

  • Nice to Have
