Role Description:
We are hiring a Chemical Data Scientist to build and maintain the pipelines that keep Valdera's supplier and chemical product data accurate, current, and structured — the foundation every buyer and supplier relies on across Valdera's procurement platform.
Data quality plays a critical role at Valdera. When a buyer launches a request, they expect to be matched with the right suppliers and accurate specs on the first try. Delivering that depends on clean, current data — CAS numbers, specifications, certifications, and regulatory documents pulled from thousands of inconsistent, often messy sources. This requires strong data engineering fundamentals and a working knowledge of chemical industry data. For example, you might take dozens of differently structured chemical supplier catalogs and turn them into one clean, standardized product database.
You will take ownership of the full data pipeline — from scrapers and ETL workflows to data cleaning, matching, and classification models that connect suppliers to buyer requirements. You're energized by messy, real-world data and confident partnering with Supplier Management and Engineering to close coverage gaps. As a data-obsessed professional, you're dedicated to the accuracy our buyers and suppliers depend on.
