Lead Data Scientist

Overview

Lead Data Scientist – Lennar, Miami, FL

Lennar is one of the nation's leading homebuilders, dedicated to building quality homes and providing exceptional customer service. As a Lead Data Scientist at Lennar, you will design, build, and deploy advanced models and AI agents that shape how our 40+ divisions price, sell, and personalize experiences for customers. You will work end‑to‑end—from research and experimentation to production deployment and monitoring—delivering measurable business impact in pricing, sales, operations, and customer engagement.

• Design, build, and deploy autonomous AI agents using Amazon Bedrock and Agent Core to solve business problems in pricing, sales, operations, and customer interactions.
• Apply machine vision and feature extraction on home attributes (photos, plans, finishes) to inform premium pricing and personalization strategies.
• Engineer and maintain data pipelines and systems supporting all models and agents, ensuring scalability and reliability.
• Integrate agents with enterprise systems and protocols (MCP servers, A2A protocol, internal APIs).
• Design and run experiments (A/B tests, multi‑armed bandits, uplift models) to measure and optimize model and agent performance.
• Ensure observability and reliability of deployed agents, including logging, evaluation, monitoring, and drift detection.
• Proactively gather feedback from stakeholders and adapt solutions for adoption and measurable impact.
• Translate complex data science and statistical concepts into clear recommendations, stories, and visualizations for executives and non‑technical audiences.
• Favor incremental, explainable solutions that deliver quick wins and scale over time.
• Drive experimentation with new tools and approaches, ensuring robustness, governance, and scalability in production deployments.
• Share learnings with the broader team to raise the bar on data science and agentic development across the organization.
• Manage timelines and expectations transparently with both the data science team and business stakeholders.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Statistics, Economics, Math, Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of relevant experience (1+ with PhD, 3+ with MS) as a data scientist, ML engineer, or applied AI developer delivering production‑ready models and systems.
• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL, with experience owning the full data science stack (data pipelines + models + deployment).
• Hands‑on experience with AI development frameworks (Lang Chain, Strands, Amazon Bedrock, Agent Core, or equivalent).
• Experience with experimentation frameworks (A/B testing, uplift modeling, multi‑armed bandits, causal ML).
• Exposure to machine vision techniques (CNNs, transfer learning, embeddings) and NLP techniques (embeddings, transformers, prompt engineering).
• Understanding of AI agent observability (evaluation frameworks like Lang Fuse, RAGAS, Weights & Biases, custom monitoring).
• Experience with system integrations: APIs, A2A protocol, MCP servers, orchestration pipelines.
• Comfort working with large‑scale, imperfect real‑world datasets and making progress despite complexity.
• Strong engineering skills: ability to design and maintain production pipelines, microservices, and scalable systems.
• Proven ability to navigate ambiguity, rapidly prototype, and move solutions into production.
• Collaborative communicator who can align technical solutions with business priorities across diverse stakeholders.
• Bonus: experience with RAG pipelines, LLM fine‑tuning, RLHF, multi‑agent orchestration, feature stores, survival analysis/churn modeling, and attribution modeling.
