The Behavior AI team builds the AI-based anomaly detection behind Datadog's security products. Our models learn what normal looks

like across the billions of logs, events, and telemetry records flowing through the platform every second, and they flag the

behavior that does not fit, on every record, in real time, at a cost that makes sense at our scale. What we build does not ship to

a single feature. The same models power detection across many of Datadog's security products at once, so the work has impact well

beyond any one team. Large general-purpose models are too slow and too expensive to run in that path, so we take the opposite

approach: small, custom models, designed for high-throughput stream processing and optimized to run cheaply on every record.

We are hiring a Senior Applied Scientist to build these models from start to finish. You will contribute to designing the

architecture, training at scale, and the optimization work that takes a model from training to running efficiently on production

traffic. This optimization requires a deep understanding of the constraints imposed by both the software and the hardware,

together with the applied mathematics to work within them: often it comes down to finding a mathematical reformulation that fits

those constraints better, and that judgment can decide whether a model reaches production at all.

The work involves a number of open questions. How do you obtain most of the quality of a large model from one that is far smaller

and cheap enough to run on the full stream? Where is it worth trading exactness for speed, and how do you reason about the error

you accept? How do you make a small model's outputs clear enough that the detection engineers and analysts who rely on it can

trust what it reports? If these are the problems you want to work on, we would like to hear from you.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture: the relationships and collaboration it builds, and the creativity it brings to

the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

What You'll Do:

Design and build custom mid-size models for high-throughput stream processing, and train them at scale.

Optimize these models from start to finish, working across both the mathematics and the systems, often by finding mathematical

reformulations that fit the hardware and software constraints better.

Build the training data pipelines the work depends on when they do not already exist, from the raw stream to a training-ready

dataset.

Work with engineering to integrate models into production, with a clear focus on GPU utilization, latency, and cost per record

on live traffic.

Plan the roadmap of model and system improvements, based on a solid understanding of the product and of what matters most to

users.

Build an agentic layer on top of the models to analyze, validate, and act on their outputs.

Build lightweight interpretability tools that make model behavior easier to explain to the people who rely on it.

Maintain and monitor the models, services, and infrastructure your team owns, and take part in your team's on-call rotation.

Who You Are:

You have a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Machine Learning, Applied Mathematics, or a related scientific field, or

equivalent experience.

You have hands-on experience training and fine-tuning models at scale, and deploying them into production systems with real

throughput and cost constraints.

You have a working knowledge of how GPUs work, and a track record of making models run efficiently within real hardware

constraints.

You have strong applied-mathematics fundamentals and reach for them naturally when designing and optimizing models.

You have a real passion for applied mathematics, software design, and implementation. This role sits at the intersection of the

three, and it is a requirement for the position.

You care about code simplicity and performance, and you can build the data pipelines and the surrounding production code, in

addition to the models themselves.

You can explain complex ideas and trade-offs clearly to engineers and product partners, and you let a solid understanding of

the product guide what you build next.

Bonus: experience with efficient sequence architectures, model interpretability, or large-scale streaming systems.

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's

okay. If you're passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.

Senior Data Scientist

Legora

Stockholm HQ•Posted: Jun 5•Deadline: Aug 16

ABOUT US Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar. Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes. 1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $100M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview. We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law. Joining Legora means three things. * We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions. * We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback. * We grow together: as a team and with our customers. Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts. If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place. The role As a Data Scientist at Legora you will turn data into decisions. You'll sit close to the business, taking questions end-to-end: shaping the metric, modelling the data in dbt, running the analysis, and making the recommendation. You'll pull in new data sources when you need to, but the underlying instrumentation and platform belong to our data engineering team. Insights are useful; impact is what we hire for. We're an AI-first data team. We believe the data function should be redesigned around what AI now makes possible, not retrofitted with it, and we want someone excited to help define what that looks like in practice. There's no single profile we hire for. Some of us are strongest at data modelling and analytics engineering, some at experimentation and causal inference, some at machine learning, some at stakeholder influence. You'll likely be excellent at one or two of these and competent across the rest. That's the bar. We're a small, centralised team supporting the whole company, hiring for the person, not the seat. Depending on your strengths and where we have the biggest gap when you join, you could be embedded primarily with: * Product: instrumentation, feature adoption, user behaviour, A/B testing, shaping the roadmap with PMs and designers. * Finance & RevOps: ARR, NRR, forecasting, board reporting, pricing analytics across a 40-country footprint, and unit economics for an AI-native product. * Growth & Marketing: acquisition funnels, attribution, campaign measurement, lifecycle analytics, and what actually moves enterprise legal buyers. * GTM & Customer Success: pipeline analytics, customer health, expansion signals, and retention drivers in a category that didn't exist three years ago. You'll partner directly with leaders across Product, Engineering, Finance, and GTM, most of whom are unusually data-fluent and will happily open a SQL editor with you. Your work will directly influence how we prioritise, how we sell, how we price, and how we build. What you will be doing * Partner with stakeholders across Product, Finance, GTM, Growth, and beyond to translate ambiguous questions into structured analyses and clear recommendations. * Define the metrics that matter, design the experiments or analyses that test them, and measure the impact of what we ship. * Conduct deep-dive analyses on the questions that move the business, and proactively surface the questions nobody is asking yet. * Model the data you need for your work in dbt, pulling in new sources when necessary, and partner closely with data engineering on anything that needs to scale beyond your immediate use case. * Build dashboards and reporting that scale beyond you, so the company can answer its own questions where possible. * Help shape how the data team operates as we scale: standards, tooling, ways of working. What you'll need * Strong proficiency in SQL and Python. * Solid grasp of data modelling and what it takes to build analytical work that is reliable and trusted. * Excellent communication skills and the confidence to influence decisions through data storytelling, including pushing back when the data doesn't support what someone wants to do. * Genuine depth in at least one of the following, with competence across the rest and curiosity to grow: * Data modelling and analytics engineering (dbt, dimensional modelling, semantic layers, self-service) * Experimentation and causal inference (A/B test design, quasi-experiments, statistical rigour) * Machine learning and applied data science (forecasting, prediction, segmentation, evaluation) * Product analytics and metric design (funnels, cohorts, adoption frameworks, North Star metrics) Nice to have * Experience in a product-led or SaaS environment, ideally B2B. * Hands-on experience with our stack: Snowflake, dbt, Hex, Dagster. * Prior experience as an early data hire at a fast-growing company, i.e. you've built the muscle, not inherited it. Most importantly, you are someone who * "Gets stuff done" and understands building a $10bn company isn't always glamorous and takes hard work and long hours. * Thrives in a fast-paced environment where the answers aren't always clear and processes are few. * Is genuinely domain-curious. You don't need to have worked on every part of a business, but you should be excited to. Legora is an Equal Opportunity Employer At Legora, we believe great teams are built on diversity of thought and experience. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and committed to creating an inclusive, high-performance culture where everyone can do their best work. We welcome people of all backgrounds and don’t discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
