Job description

At Digital Turbine, we make mobile advertising experiences more meaningful and rewarding for users, app publishers, and advertisers — intelligently connecting people in more ways, across more devices. We provide app publishers and advertisers with powerful ads and experiences that captivate consumers, fuel performance, and help telecoms and OEMs supercharge awareness, acquisition, and monetization. In a rapidly evolving industry, we are constantly innovating and creating better paths of discovery to connect consumers, publishers, and advertisers across the mobile ecosystem.

Please note that Digital Turbine is a hybrid work environment-only candidates local to the posting location will be considered.

We’re always on the lookout for great engineering talent!

We want to learn about your passion and skills, and find the best match for you.

The Role

Digital Turbine has every ingredient of a marketplace business — advertisers, publishers, OEMs, carriers, consumers, devices, and proprietary device-level data. Our job in Data Science is to turn that raw advantage into intelligence: the insights, models, and experiments that optimize the marketplace and prove the value we create.

As a Senior Data Scientist, you’ll partner with engineering, product, and business leaders to drive analysis that shapes strategy — from bidding efficacy and audience curation to measurement, attribution, and our centralized experimentation platform. You’ll help DT build a culture of continuous, evidence-based improvement across every product surface.

About The Senior Data Scientist Role

• Frame ambiguous business problems as crisp, testable data and modeling questions, and deliver analysis that informs product and commercial strategy
• Design and analyze experiments (A/B and beyond) and help establish DT's centralized experimentation tracking — a single source of truth for hypotheses, results, and decisions
• Build statistical and ML models for audience segmentation, bid/UA optimization, lifetime value, and measurement/attribution
• Develop time-series and real-time event understanding that improves the timeliness and relevance of recommendations and bidding
• Partner with ML and Data Engineering to productionize models and feed insights into the Next Best Action framework
• Communicate findings clearly to technical and executive audiences, and mentor other analysts and scientists

About You As The Senior Data Scientist

• 8+ years in data science or quantitative analysis, ideally in AdTech, marketplaces, or consumer-scale products
• Strong foundations in experimental design, hypothesis testing, causal inference, and statistical/ML modeling (regression, classification, clustering, time-series)
• Fluency in SQL and Python (or R), and comfort working with large-scale data in cloud data warehouses / lakes
• Distinctive problem-solving skills and the ability to translate analysis into business recommendations
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to influence senior stakeholders

Nice to have

• Experience with Databricks, Spark, or semantic-layer / metrics platforms
• Background in bidding, auctions, recommendation, or measurement/attribution
• Experience standing up experimentation tooling or analytics infrastructure
