Senior Data Scientist

What You Bring:

• Experience: 5+ years of total experience, with significant, hands-on expertise in data-driven research and development.
• Attribution & Measurement: Proven track record in designing incrementality experiments, A/B testing, and assessing the impact of new initiatives.
• Engineering Rigor: Proven ability to build production-grade pipelines. Fluent in Python/SQL and comfortable owning code from research through to production deployment.
• Analytical Communication: Ability to articulate complex tradeoffs (e.g., graph accuracy vs. latency or incrementality vs. scale) to stakeholders who need to make build-vs-buy decisions.
• Education: Bachelor's in a quantitative field (CS, Statistics, Math, Engineering, or similar); Master's/PhD preferred, or equivalent work experience
• Nice To Have:
• Familiarity with ML-based entity resolution approaches: blocking strategies, embedding-based similarity, probabilistic matching, and hierarchical clustering.
• Experience with graph databases and graph analytics (Neo4j, Spanner, PuppyGraph, NetworkX, or similar) applied to identity or entity data.
• Deep understanding of multi-touch attribution (MTA) and cross-channel measurement.
• Experience with device fingerprinting, cross-device identity, or cookie-less identity resolution approaches.
• Experience evaluating third-party identity resolution or data enrichment vendors; familiarity with the external identity and measurement partner landscape.
• Exposure to affiliate marketing, ad tech, or performance marketing data environments and the identity challenges specific to those ecosystems.
• Familiarity with GCP tools (BigQuery, Vertex AI, Dataflow, Cloud Run) and/or Databricks/Spark for large-scale data processing.
• Knowledge of privacy-preserving identity techniques (differential privacy, hashing, clean rooms) and their implications for measurement.
• What Sets You Apart:
• Clear under complexity. You can articulate what our measurement systems represent, where they break down, and what fixing them is worth, whether to an engineer, a product manager, or a senior leader.
• Ownership mindset. You treat our measurement systems like they’re yours. You don't wait to be asked to find the next problem; you're already looking.
• Innate curiosity. You stay current on the external landscape for identity resolution, data enrichment, and measurement vendors. You bring relevant developments to the team proactively.
• Detective instincts. You love hunting bad data. You don't accept anomalies at face value: you dig until you understand the root cause, whether it's a pipeline bug, a vendor data issue, or a fundamental schema flaw.
• Research-to-production fluency. You move comfortably between prototyping new resolution techniques and shipping them into a production pipeline. You know what "production ready" means and hold yourself to that standard.
• Vendor skepticism. When evaluating external solutions, you design rigorous tests, ask hard questions, and let data, not demos, drive your recommendation.
• Salary Range: $130,000 - $142,000 per year, plus eligible to receive a Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) grant and additional variable annual bonus contingent on Company performance. This is the pay range the Company believes is equitable for this position at the time of this posting.
