Data Scientist

Job Description: Data Scientist (Ph.D.)

Position Title: Data Scientist (Ph.D.)

Department: Data Science / Product / Marketing

Reports To: Director of Data Science / Head of Analytics

Location: RemoteEmployment Type: Full-Time

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly quantitative Data Scientist with a Ph.D. in Mathematics, Statistics, or a related quantitative field to develop advanced algorithms and analytical models that power product innovation and data-driven marketing strategies. This role sits at the intersection of data science, product development, and marketing, working closely with cross-functional teams to transform complex data into actionable intelligence and scalable solutions.

The ideal candidate is a strong researcher with a practical engineering mindset—comfortable developing novel models, testing hypotheses, and deploying solutions that drive measurable business impact.

Key Responsibilities

Algorithm & Model Development

• Develop, test, and optimize machine learning models, predictive algorithms, and statistical frameworks for product and marketing applications.
• Conduct advanced data analysis using techniques such as Bayesian modeling, time series forecasting, causal inference, reinforcement learning, anomaly detection, or optimization algorithms.
• Build scalable solutions and partner with engineering teams to deploy models into production.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work with product teams to inform feature development, personalization strategies, experimentation design, and product roadmaps.
• Collaborate with marketing to build customer segmentation models, attribution models, LTV forecasting, targeting strategies, and campaign optimization tools.
• Translate scientific findings into clear business recommendations and partner with stakeholders to ensure adoption.

Data Exploration & Insights

• Lead complex research initiatives—hypothesis formulation, experiment design, statistical validation, and result interpretation.
• Analyze large datasets to uncover patterns, generate insights, and identify opportunities for product or marketing optimization.
• Develop dashboards, metrics, and automated analytical systems to monitor model performance and business outcomes.

Experimentation

• Design and evaluate A/B tests, multi-arm bandit experiments, and other controlled experiments to measure product and marketing impact.
• Apply rigorous statistical methodologies to assess causal relationships and ensure scientific validity.

Documentation & Communication

• Document model assumptions, methodologies, and results in a way that is clear, reproducible, and auditable.
• Present findings and recommendations to leadership and cross-functional teams in a compelling and accessible manner.

Qualifications

Required

• Ph.D. in Mathematics, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related highly quantitative field.
• Strong foundation in mathematical modeling, probability, statistical inference, and advanced analytics.
• Proficiency in Python (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow preferred).
• Experience building and deploying machine learning models end-to-end.
• Experience working with large, complex datasets using SQL or similar tools.
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Proven ability to work in cross-functional environments and manage multiple research streams.

Preferred

• Experience in product analytics, digital marketing analytics, or algorithm development for consumer-facing applications.
• Experience with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Experience developing models for personalization, recommendation systems, LTV prediction, NLP, or optimization.
• Experience with experiment design (A/B testing) and causal inference.
• Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker) or programmatic visualization (matplotlib, seaborn, Plotly).

Key Competencies

• Strong mathematical and statistical intuition
• Research-driven, experimental mindset
• Ability to translate complex quantitative work into business value
• Curiosity, creativity, and scientific rigor
• Strong communication and storytelling skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a cross-functional team

Why Join Us

• Work on high-impact algorithms that directly shape product and marketing strategy
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and influence core business decisions
• Opportunity to bring cutting-edge research into real-world applications
• Supportive environment for ongoing learning, experimentation, and innovation
