Job description

• Discover data sources, get access to them, import them, clean them up, and make them “model‑ready”. You need to be willing and able to do your own ETL
• Create and refine features from the underlying data. You’ll enjoy developing just enough subject matter expertise to have an intuition about what features might make your model perform better, and then you’ll lather, rinse and repeat
• Run regular A/B tests, gather data, perform statistical analysis, draw conclusions on the impact of your optimizations and communicate results to peers and leaders
• Explore new design or technology shifts in order to determine how they might connect with the customer benefits we wish to deliver
