In this role, you will partner with cross-functional teams to contribute to many aspects of product development, including understanding user behavior, A/B experimentation, and problem-solving using statistics and causal inference techniques.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and deploy advanced machine learning models to solve complex business challenges and drive data-informed decision making.
  • Design and lead complex A/B and causal experiments to measure the impact of localization changes on traveler engagement and booking conversion; own the experimentation framework for the Localization product area.
  • Translate complex multilingual data insights into compelling narratives for product, engineering, and executive audiences; influence roadmap prioritization through data.
  • Write advanced SQL and Python to build scalable, automated analytics pipelines and self-serve dashboards.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to architect and implement end-to-end data pipelines and intelligent systems that operate at production scale.
  • Lead and mentor data scientists and engineers, fostering technical excellence and a culture of continuous learning.
  • Safely integrate and operate AI/ML‑enabled solutions that improve outcomes, ensuring models are reliable, ethical, and scalable.

  • 8+ years of experience in data science, applied science, or analytics (6+ years with MS/PhD) in an industry setting.
  • Proven expert in statistical modeling and experiment design — including A/B testing, quasi-experiments, and causal inference methods (e.g., Pre/Post, causal impact, multivariate, multi-armed bandit).
  • Hands-on experience building ML/NLP models at production scale (e.g., text classification, semantic similarity, quality scoring).
  • Advanced proficiency in SQL and Python, with ability to write clean, production-quality code.
  • Experience working with large-scale, unstructured text data and LLMs — including prompt design, evaluation (e.g., golden sets, LLM-as-judge), and RAG patterns.
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor junior data scientists, balance speed, risk, and analytical rigor.
  • Experience with advanced visualization techniques / best practices, and building scalable dashboards.
