About the Role
As a Data Scientist, you'll be a key contributor in designing, building, and evaluating data-driven decision systems, with a strong emphasis on pricing optimization, experimentation (A/B testing), and causal analysis that directly influence product and business outcomes.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and refine pricing and optimization models, including dynamic pricing, price elasticity estimation, margin optimization, and demand forecasting, that directly drive revenue and profitability decisions
- Own the experimentation lifecycle: design and run A/B and multivariate tests, define success metrics and guardrails, determine sample sizes and test duration, analyze results with statistical rigor, and communicate causal impact to stakeholders
- Apply causal inference techniques (uplift modeling, difference-in-differences, synthetic controls, instrumental variables) where randomized experiments aren't feasible
- Translate business problems into ML solutions; build models for prediction, classification, or recommendation; implement feature engineering, model training, hyperparameter tuning, evaluation, and deployment
- Develop scalable data pipelines on Databricks; integrate experimentation and ML systems with modern data and MLOps platforms (Databricks, MLflow); establish CI/CD pipelines, version control, testing, and monitoring to ensure model quality and reliability
- Partner with software engineers, data engineers, product managers, and subject-matter experts; present insights and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders; translate complex analyses into clear narratives
- Research and apply emerging ML techniques; contribute to improving team standards and mentoring junior team members
Requirements
- 3-5 years of professional experience as a data scientist or ML engineer, with a proven record of building and deploying ML models in production
- Hands-on experience with pricing, revenue, or marketing optimization, such as price elasticity modeling, dynamic pricing, promotion optimization, or mathematical optimization methods
- Demonstrated expertise in A/B testing and experimentation: hypothesis design, power analysis, sequential testing, guardrail metrics, and interpreting results under real-world constraints
- Hands-on Databricks experience for building and deploying data science workloads at scale
- Strong programming skills in Python (plus experience in JavaScript), with proficiency in ML libraries (scikit-learn, PyTorch), data manipulation (pandas, SQL), and statistical analysis
- Solid grounding in statistics: hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, regression, and Bayesian methods
- Knowledge of MLOps tools and cloud platforms, especially Databricks (Spark, MLflow), AWS (S3, Redshift, SageMaker), or similar services
- Excellent communication skills; ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and business audiences and to collaborate effectively across teams
- Demonstrated ability to work independently on complex problems, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and deliver results in a fast-paced environment
