Thriving on a diverse company culture, we celebrate the uniqueness of our employees and are committed to inclusion. Johnson & Johnson is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

As a Senior Data Scientist, you will build and operationalize predictive and prescriptive models that power Johnson & Johnson's intelligent HR workflows at global scale. This role is responsible for creating model‑driven solutions intentionally designed for consumption by both humans and machines—from AI‑enabled decision engines and automation to explainable insights embedded in leader and HR experiences.

You will work at the intersection of advanced analytics, applied AI, and HR domain expertise, ensuring workforce intelligence is not only accurate and scalable, but actionable, ethical, and trusted. Your work will move beyond insight delivery to directly shaping how decisions are made, automated, and continuously improved across the employee lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and deploy predictive models that generate signals, features, and recommendations consumed directly by intelligent systems and decision workflows, as well as by humans through explainable, experience‑led interfaces.
• Enable end‑to‑end intelligent workflows by embedding predictive intelligence into products, platforms, and processes—ensuring models are deployed, monitored, and continuously improved in production rather than delivered as standalone analyses.
• Contribute to model‑driven data products, contributing to how intelligence is created, validated, governed, and consumed across both human‑led and machine‑led decision paths.
• Partner with product, engineering, and experience teams to ensure human‑facing experiences and machine‑facing interfaces (signals, features, APIs) are designed together as a single, coherent system.
• Adhere to enterprise standards and practices for model explainability, fairness, privacy, and responsible AI, ensuring predictive solutions are trustworthy, auditable, and appropriate for use at global scale.
• Translate scoped business problems into scalable analytical and modeling frameworks, guiding when decisions should be automated, augmented, or explicitly human‑controlled.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field
• 3-5 years of experience designing, building, and deploying predictive or machine-learning models in production environments, where outputs are consumed by systems, workflows, applications, and end users
• Proficiency in modern data science and ML tooling (e.g., Python, ML frameworks, feature engineering, model evaluation), with a clear understanding of how models move from experimentation to operational use
• Demonstrated ability to think in terms of signals, features, and decision logic, and to design models that integrate cleanly into automated or augmented decision workflows
• Exposure to working on complex, scaled data environments, collaborating closely with engineering, product, and platform teams to deliver durable, production-ready solutions
• Working knowledge of model explainability, fairness, privacy, and responsible AI practices, and the discipline to apply enterprise standards consistently when building and deploying models
