Job Description:

Applied Scientist III

Location: Seattle, Washington (Onsite)

Role Overview

We are seeking an Applied Scientist to join our team. This role requires deep expertise in areas such as machine learning, speech recognition, natural language processing, or computer vision. The position involves applying scientific principles to assess new initiatives, develop new algorithms, and enhance existing ones to improve products and services.

Key Responsibilities

• Machine Learning - hands-on experience building predictive models (regression, gradient boosting, survival models, or deep learning for sequential data). Should be comfortable with model training, validation, feature engineering, and productionization.
• Causal Inference - understands experimental design (A/B tests, holdouts), uplift modeling, or econometric techniques (diff-in-diff, instrumental variables). We need someone who can distinguish correlation from causation and design measurement that’s defensible.
• Python fluency - primary working language. Comfortable with pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow, and standard DS tooling.
• Cloud computation - experience with AWS (SageMaker, EMR, Redshift/Athena) or equivalent. Must be able to work with large-scale data pipelines, not just local notebooks.

Additional Responsibilities

• Apply scientific principles to assess the feasibility and timeline of new initiatives requiring significant inventions.
• Develop new algorithms or enhance existing algorithms for improving customer experience and impact.
• Maintain awareness of the state-of-the-art in the respective field of expertise.
• Focus on advancing the state-of-the-art to improve products and services.

Required Qualifications

Technical Skills: Deep expertise in areas such as machine learning, speech recognition, natural language processing, computer vision, or knowledge acquisition

Preferred Qualifications

• Marketing science experience - prior work on LTV, attribution, incrementality, customer segmentation, or marketing mix modeling. Understands how models translate into marketing decisions (targeting, budget allocation, campaign optimization).
• Experience working with cross-functional partners (marketing, engineering, finance).
• Someone who can independently frame the valuation problem, build and validate the model, and connect the output to a business decision — not just deliver a notebook. They should be comfortable with ambiguity and able to communicate results to non-technical stakeholders.
