Senior Data Scientist

Your Team and Role

Working on the Data Science Functional Team, you'll drive product and business impact through statistical modeling, experiment design, and classifier implementation across our search engine, instant answers, AI, and revenue optimization. You'll collaborate cross-functionally to validate direction through data, build trust in organizational tactics and strategy by running and advising experiments, and become an expert in our core metrics like searches, installs, and revenue.

You'll also own key pieces of the data pipeline, identifying and resolving data integrity issues and implementing derived data features for internal users. Our data meets rigorous privacy standards and is necessarily sparse, so you'll need to think creatively to surface actionable insights.

About You

• 7+ years of experience in Data Science and a track record of leading high-complexity projects from scoping to production with minimal direction.

• You can deploy and iterate ML and NLP solutions in production environments, with working knowledge of LLMs including fine-tuning, LLM-as-judge, and AI-assisted development.

• You write production-grade code in Python or a comparable high-level language.

• Advanced SQL and query optimization skills, familiarity with columnar databases like BigQuery, Clickhouse, Redshift, or Druid.

• You can design, implement, and analyze experiments across product surfaces.
