About the role
Firestorm is hiring a Staff Data Scientist to own the optimization and decision science behind Crucible. You’ll set the technical direction for models, while building production‑ready solutions in collaboration with software, manufacturing, supply chain, and product teams.
You’ll work in a fast‑growing defense technology environment, with a focus on practical, data‑driven planning and robust model deployment. Based in San Diego, you’ll influence critical decisions and scale the platform.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
