Description

  • Evaluate ad delivery systems, including pacing and ad selection, and use simulation-based measurement to pre-validate model and policy changes before deployment.
  • Define metrics, build measurement frameworks, analyze A/B test results, and translate experiment outcomes into actionable insights for ML, Product, and Business partners.
  • Design and advance the experimentation platform’s statistical methodologies in a budget-constrained environment.
  • Lead implementation of CUPED, sequential testing, and interleaving frameworks to improve sensitivity and speed up evaluation cycles.
  • Build the statistical foundations for automated experimentation pipelines that test and select features and hyperparameters at scale.
  • Research and validate surrogate metrics that predict long-term retention, churn, and value.
  • Provide ML teams with short-term proxy signals that support optimization for long-term growth.
  • Serve as the lead subject matter expert on experimentation across ML, Product, and Engineering teams.
  • Ensure statistical rigor is applied throughout the product lifecycle, from model training to live production auctions.
  • Mentor engineering teams on experimental rigor and communicate complex statistical concepts clearly.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in Data Science or Applied Research within Ad Tech, Marketplaces, or high-scale experimentation platforms.
  • An MS or PhD in Statistics, Economics, Computer Science, Operations Research, or a related quantitative field.
  • Deep expertise in causal inference, experimental design, and frequentist or Bayesian statistics.
  • Experience applying statistical methods to high-volume, real-time data.
  • Strong programming skills in Python or Scala.
  • Experience with large-scale data processing frameworks such as Spark, Snowflake, or BigQuery.
  • Practical experience implementing CUPED, interleaving, or switchback testing in production.
  • Ability to translate complex statistical concepts into product roadmaps and mentor engineering teams.
  • Experience building or maintaining internal experimentation platforms at a major tech company, preferred.
  • Familiarity with long-term value prediction and surrogate metric design in mobile gaming or digital advertising, preferred.
  • Experience using AI as a strategic advantage in engineering while following best practices for code quality and security, preferred.
  • Sufficient knowledge of English for professional verbal and written communication with global colleagues and partners.
  • Relocation support is not available for this position.

Benefits

  • Gross pay salary range of $148,700 to $229,900 USD.
