Prisma Photonics, a fast growing start up, transforms infrastructure monitoring by leveraging optical fibers to monitor critical, large-scale systems like power grids and oil & gas pipelines across thousands of kilometers without the need for traditional sensors.

Our Hyper-Scan Fiber-Sensing™ technology, combined with advanced machine learning, empowers utility operators to achieve environmental and renewable energy goals while maintaining operational excellence on their path to net-zero emissions.

Founded in 2017, with offices in the U.S., Europe, and Israel (HQ), Prisma Photonics is led by an expert team with a proven track record in building and scaling successful companies within the lasers and deep-tech sectors.

We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist to join our team and take a leading role in shaping the future of our data science. We need your CTO-grade capabilities to incubate and launch the data product offering, creating value to our customers via reports and recommendations. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment, enjoys working across disciplines, and wants to see their work go from concept to impact in the real world.

Today, this is a high-impact individual contributor role. However, it is intentionally structured to evolve into a leadership position. As our product, customer base, and data expand, you’ll be instrumental in building and leading a dedicated data science team, with full ownership of methodologies, tools, and people.

The Senior Data Scientist will report to the VP Product.
