Description

  • Own end-to-end product experimentation, including hypothesis generation, metric definition, experimental design, analysis, and executive-level interpretation.
  • Design and maintain ML-powered evaluation frameworks for product changes, automation quality, and system reliability.
  • Build and deploy predictive models, classifiers, and ranking systems to support experimentation, personalization, and product optimization.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to test new features, workflows, and ML models through controlled experiments and incremental rollouts.
  • Lead offline and online model evaluation using rigorous statistical methods to compare baselines, candidate models, and product variants.
  • Apply causal inference and quasi-experimental methods when randomized experiments are not feasible.
  • Develop experiment pipelines and instrumentation, including logging, dashboards, monitoring, and automated analysis.
  • Perform failure-mode and error analysis to guide product iteration and model improvement.
  • Translate experiment outcomes into clear product decisions and influence roadmap prioritization and system design.
  • Lead and mentor data scientists and analysts, setting standards for experimentation, modeling, and evaluation.

Requirements

  • 8–12+ years of experience in data science, machine learning, or applied experimentation roles.
  • Demonstrated expertise in product experimentation and A/B testing, including design, execution, and statistical evaluation.
  • Strong background in machine learning, statistical modeling, and causal inference applied to real-world products.
  • Experience building and evaluating predictive models, classifiers, or ranking systems in production environments.
  • Proven ability to operate in both startup-style experimentation and scaled product ecosystems.
  • Experience leading teams, setting technical direction, and delivering cross-functional impact.
  • Excellent coding skills in Python or similar languages, strong SQL skills, and experience building data pipelines or ML systems.
  • Ability to connect technical findings to product and business outcomes.
  • Strong communication skills with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience with experiment platforms or building internal tooling for experimentation and model evaluation (preferred).
  • Experience deploying ML models into high-volume transactional systems (preferred).
  • Experience working with NLP, LLMs, or automation systems (preferred).
  • Experience with multi-modal or operational data such as orders, text, voice, or system events (preferred).
