Sr Principal Data Scientist

About the role

For over 20 years, Smartsheet has empowered teams to manage work seamlessly and scale solutions smarter. Now, in our most ambitious chapter yet, we are uniting human teams with AI agents. By orchestrating the work agents do best, automating manual tasks and uncovering insights at scale, we create the space for people to focus on what truly matters: judgment, creativity, and big thinking.

What you'll do

• Architect the systems behind the sub-agents: how they ground themselves in evidence, how risk and confidence are calibrated, how decisions are evaluated
• Define the modeling, evaluation, and experimentation standards the team follows — from offline metrics to online rollout to production monitoring
• Personally ship the highest-leverage models and sub-agents — the ones that need a senior IC to frame the problem, push through ambiguity, and de-risk the approach
• Drive technical decisions on the data foundations and knowledge layer sub-agents reason over, with strong stewardship of privacy, aggregation, and customer trust
• Partner with senior Product, Engineering, and Applied AI leaders to shape strategy, roadmap, and investment
