About the role

Original posting from Secret Level

Secret Level is building Liquid Engine, a production platform for AI-driven content creation. We’re developing systems that help creative workflows stay structured, consistent, and observable as they scale across tools, people, and outputs. We’re looking for a Data Scientist, Applied Intelligence to join our Intelligence group within the broader Product and Engineering organization. This is not a traditional analytics role. You will help design the logic, data structures, and evaluation systems that allow intelligence to operate inside a creative production environment. That includes representing workflows in structured ways, reasoning about change and dependencies, tracking provenance and version history, and building systems that support explainable, human-guided decision-making. You’ll work closely with engineering, product, and creative stakeholders to turn ambiguous workflow problems into reliable, measurable, and useful systems. What You’ll Do - Contribute to the design and build intelligence systems that help Liquid Engine understand workflow context, track change over time, and support consistent outputs - Translate creative and production workflows into structured representations such as entities, relationships, rules, and graphs - Help develop systems for tracking state, version history, provenance, and dependencies across workflows - Build rule-based and heuristic systems that identify conflicts, evaluate consistency, and surface issues before they create downstream problems - Support change impact analysis by helping the system reason about dependencies, cascades, and workflow consequences - Develop evaluation frameworks that measure system usefulness, output quality, and reduction of manual rework - Partner with engineering on event pipelines, data models, and system architecture that support intelligent system behavior - Contribute to explainable recommendation and decision-support systems grounded in workflow context - Help define telemetry, measurement, and governance approaches for intelligence features across the platform What We’re Looking For Core Skills - 4–8+ years in data science, applied ML, or systems-oriented analytics - Strong Python and SQL proficiency - Experience working with complex data systems - Familiarity with graph-based or relational reasoning - Understanding of deterministic vs probabilistic systems - Ability to translate ambiguous domains into structured approaches - Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical teams Nice to Have - Experience with generative AI systems or media pipelines - Exposure to knowledge graphs or dependency systems - Experience with experimentation or telemetry systems - Familiarity with governance, audit, or compliance systems - Experience building internal tools or operator-facing systems How You Work - You think in systems, not just models - You value clarity, explainability, and correctness - You are comfortable operating in ambiguity - You avoid premature abstraction or unnecessary complexity - You collaborate closely with engineers, product, and creative teams - You know when restraint is the right solution
