Associate Data Scientist in Atlanta, GA

With a career at The Home Depot, you can be yourself and also be part of something bigger.

The Associate Data Scientist - Generative BI will drive business profitability and modernized analytics across Home Depot by configuring, tuning, and scaling our GenBI capabilities. Rather than building generative models from scratch, the day-to-day work focuses on practical AI enablement: turning user feedback and analytical friction into reliable technical solutions. You will build and maintain semantic layers, curate golden SQL query examples to improve context accuracy, set up automated regression testing pipelines to validate AI-generated answers, and integrate new enterprise data sources into a scalable multi-agent architecture. Success in this role requires a proactive problem-solver who can use the Databricks ecosystem to resolve data quality issues, troubleshoot integration risks, and adapt as platform features change.
