As a Lead Data Scientist at Lennar, you will play a key role in developing and operationalizing AI-driven solutions that transform how we price, sell, and personalize experiences for customers across 40+ divisions. You will architect, build, and deploy intelligent systems—including advanced machine learning models and autonomous AI agents—that directly influence business strategy and customer interaction at scale.

In this role, you'll work end-to-end through the full AI development lifecycle: problem framing, research and experimentation, model and agent development, evaluation, production deployment, and continuous monitoring. Your work will drive measurable impact across pricing optimization, sales acceleration, operational efficiency, and customer engagement.

You'll partner closely with cross-functional teams, bring clarity to ambiguous problems, and lead innovation as Lennar evolves its AI capabilities in a fast-moving technology landscape.

Your Responsibilities on the Team

• Design, build, and deploy autonomous AI agents using frameworks like Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore to solve business problems in pricing, sales, operations, and customer interactions.
• Apply machine vision and feature extraction on home attributes (photos, plans, finishes) to inform premium pricing and personalization strategies.
• Engineer and maintain data pipelines and systems supporting all models and agents, ensuring scalability and reliability.
• Integrate agents with enterprise systems and protocols (MCP servers, A2A protocol, internal APIs).
• Design and run experiments (A/B tests, multi-armed bandits, uplift models) to measure and optimize model and agent performance.
• Ensure observability and reliability of deployed agents, including logging, evaluation, monitoring, and drift detection.
• Proactively gather feedback from stakeholders and adapt solutions for adoption and measurable impact.
• Translate complex data science and statistical concepts into clear recommendations, stories, and visualizations for executives and non-technical audiences.
• Favor incremental, explainable solutions that deliver quick wins and scale over time.
• Drive experimentation with new tools and approaches, ensuring robustness, governance, and scalability in production deployments.
• Share learnings with the broader team to raise the bar on data science and agentic development across the organization.
• Manage timelines and expectations transparently with both the data science team and business stakeholders.
