Red Hat is hiring a Principal Data Scientist to bridge complex data architecture with executive GTM strategy. You will design and deploy end-to-end automated processes for quota and incentive lifecycles, and scale AI integration with prompt engineering and LLM tools. You will extract and enrich large datasets from Snowflake and GitHub, ensuring data integrity across logic layers, and translate outputs into strategic recommendations for leadership. You will apply predictive modeling to optimize sales coverage and customer engagement at scale.
Red Hat’s Global Sales Go-To-Market (GTM) team is looking for a high-impact Principal Data Scientist to bridge the gap between complex data architecture and executive strategy. This isn’t a "maintenance" role—you will be an architect of change, leveraging AI, advanced statistics, and a builder’s mindset to reinvent how we handle quotas, incentives, and sales capacity.
We need a hybrid talent: someone with the technical depth to code automated pipelines from scratch and the business savvy to translate those results into a "digestible story" for executive leadership.
What You Will Do
- Architect from Scratch: Design and deploy end-to-end automated processes for the quota and incentive lifecycle, ensuring bulletproof data validation
- Scale AI Integration: Use advanced prompt engineering and LLM tools to accelerate development, audit code, and eliminate manual workflows
- Master the Pipeline: Extract and enrich massive datasets from Snowflake and GitHub, ensuring data integrity across complex logic layers
- Tell the Story: Translate highly technical outputs into strategic recommendations. You will present key performance metrics directly to executive leadership
- Solve the "Puzzle": Apply predictive modeling and pattern recognition to evaluate sales coverage and optimize customer engagement at scale
What You Will Bring
- Programming: Mastery of Python (Pandas, Google Cloud libraries) and SQL (Snowflake/DBeaver)
- AI Fluency: You treat AI as a primary collaborator, using prompt engineering to increase your velocity
- Statistics: Deep knowledge of regression, simulation, scenario analysis, clustering, and decision trees
- Data Ops: Experience with GitHub workflows and building "self-healing" scripts to prevent recurring data errors
- Visualization: Ability to build impactful narratives in Tableau, Google Sheets, and Salesforce CRMA
- Experience: 10+ years of professional experience manipulating large datasets and building production-grade statistical models
- The Mindset: You thrive in "barely tested" environments and high-pressure situations where the logic hasn't been defined yet
- Business Acumen: A background in Sales Operations, Finance, or GTM strategy within the tech industry is highly preferred
- Process Engineering: You don’t just find errors; you build the automation to ensure they never happen again
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field
Why Join Red Hat?
You won't be a cog in a machine. You will be reinventing the machine itself. We offer a high-visibility environment where your work has a direct, measurable impact on Red Hat’s global revenue. If you are naturally curious and love solving puzzles with real-world financial stakes, this is your next move.
Are you ready to build the future of sales intelligence?
