TL;DR · Senior Data Scientist

As a Senior Data Scientist for Engineering Systems on the Platform Data Science team, you will work independently with engineers from Server Query, Atlas Clusters, and Release Quality to solve complex problems involving resource scaling across the fleet, safe feature rollout, automated incident response, and query engine performance. You will research, prototype, and ship production-ready machine learning features for the core server and database-as-a-service cloud offering. Your daily work involves embedding algorithmic rigor into monitoring systems, owning the full feedback loop by instrumenting model architecture with metrics, and performing code reviews to improve developer productivity. The role requires expertise in the machine learning development lifecycle, an object-oriented approach to Python codebase design, and a master's degree or equivalent experience in a quantitative discipline like computer science, statistics, or physics to address technical infrastructure challenges.
