About the Role

Solenis GSS India is looking for a highly skilled Senior Data Scientist to join our AI & Data Science team. This role is designed for a strong individual contributor who brings deep expertise in classical Data Science and Machine Learning, with selective and practical exposure to Generative AI.

You will work on complex, enterprise‑scale problems, building and deploying end‑to‑end machine learning and AI solutions that drive measurable business impact across commercial operations, supply chain, and customer experience domains.

This role is not focused on reporting, dashboards, or pure analytics. We are seeking hands‑on practitioners who own the full lifecycle of data science solutions—from problem definition to production deployment.
