Senior Data Scientist – AI & ML | MLOps Enablement

The Developer Platform Organization’s mission is to accelerate the delivery of reliable and secure platforms that make developers feel good and code their best. Developer Platform exists to help engineers focus on business challenges and minimize their work on infrastructure and operations — developing and supporting platforms and tools for the entire Software Development Lifecycle. Centralized platform tooling allows developer tooling to be written once, and not repeated for each team or project. Within Developer Platform, the MLOps Enablement team owns the ML Platform capability. Data Scientists and engineers can build, deploy, and operate machine learning models on managed, standards-compliant infrastructure — without standing up their own model serving or ML pipeline tooling. We deliver a unified, secure, and cost-efficient platform built on Vertex AI. We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join the MLOps Enablement team as an embedded DS practitioner. This is not a traditional Data Science role focused on owning models — it is a platform-facing role for a DS practitioner who wants to shape the infrastructure and tooling that Data Scientists across Nordstrom depend on every day. You will be the DS voice on a platform engineering team, ensuring our capabilities are designed for how Data Scientists actually work — so adoption is fast, intuitive, and does not require a custom engagement every time.
