TL;DR · Senior Staff Data Scientist, Consumer Experimentation
As a Senior Staff Data Scientist - Consumer Experimentation, you will join the Consumer team as the technical authority on experimentation methodology. You will tackle complex challenges such as spillover, network effects, and two-sided experimentation within a deeply interconnected network of communities and contributors. Your daily work involves developing causal inference methods like switchback designs and synthetic controls, building self-serve tools for product teams, and establishing guardrail metrics to ensure valid results in environments where standard randomization assumptions fail. You will use SQL, R, and Python to drive product strategy through rigorous analysis. The role requires deep expertise in experimental design, including power analysis and variance reduction. You will mentor other data scientists while solving technical problems related to user-generated content platforms where community dynamics create non-trivial experimentation hurdles for the organization.
