Description

• We are seeking a Principal Data Scientist with very strong engineering skills (or a software engineer with deep expertise in decision science) to lead the domain of decision science, including experimentation and causal methods. In this role you will report directly to the VP of Data and accomplish high-impact work across multiple teams, divisions and organizations. Beyond direct impact on experimentation and casual methods, your responsibility will include mentorship, leadership in shaping standards for technical design and execution, hiring practices, and operational excellence. • The ideal candidate is very strong on implementation and methods and equally motivated to develop strategies and plans. You are comfortable making opinionated decisions and very often those decisions prove to be useful. You will work closely with engineering, product, data science, executive teams and more to drive vision, strategy and execution.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or other technical field from a fully-accredited college or university • 8+ years of impactful experience, with significant depth in the methods and implementation details of experimentation and advanced analytics. If you have less experience but feel this is the right job for you, we want to hear what has been exceptional about your faster journey. • Expert understanding and hands-on experience building, integrating and operating production data products and infrastructure. Your focus is data, but you have very solid software engineering skills. The lessons you have learned in your career so far will help accelerate the team. • Deep hands-on experience with major technologies such as Airflow, DBT, git, docker/k8s, BI tools, Spark, AWS, Snowflake, sklearn, etc. You also are aware of experimentation SaaS tools in industry and have a perspective on where the industry is going. No one is an expert in everything but you have real breadth and depth. • Excellent verbal and written communication skills and a desire to share the right information with the right people. You do not need to be a polished speaker, you just need to be great at collaborating and helping others understand your work.
