Candidates must possess a PhD or equivalent experience in statistics, econometrics, machine learning, or a related quantitative field, with a strong foundation in causal inference, experimental design, and Bayesian modeling. A minimum of 8 years of experience in data science or ML engineering roles is required, along with proven experience applying statistical methods to marketing measurement, attribution modeling, and incrementality/experiment design problems. Experience in building or optimizing large-scale A/B testing or experimentation infrastructure is essential, as is experience designing, deploying, and operating statistical/ML models that drive real business decisions at scale, including validation and monitoring. Proficiency in Python/R/SQL and modern data platforms like BigQuery or Snowflake is necessary, along with familiarity with MLOps practices and data pipeline orchestration tools. Strong communication skills to explain complex statistical concepts to customers and internal stakeholders are also required.
The Principal Data Scientist will own and advance the statistical foundations of marketing-effectiveness measurement, ensuring methodologies are robust, reliable, and scalable. This role involves researching, prototyping, and deploying advanced attribution and AI models for marketing measurement, and designing/evolving complex data science models that balance scientific rigor with practical, scalable frameworks. Responsibilities include building and maintaining experimentation frameworks for model validation and lift measurement, defining and implementing validation and release criteria for attribution model and product launches, and collaborating with Software Engineers and Product Managers to productionize and productize work. Additionally, the role requires mentoring Data Scientists on complex statistical and methodological challenges and raising the bar for individual execution through reviews and training.
