He or she is able to balance deep technical expertise with the knowledge that sometimes finding the right question to ask is the hardest part of a problem.

We are true hybrids - software engineers, statisticians, mathematicians, domain experts and analysts - who specialize in translating questions into methodical approaches, experiments, and products. We think deeply about the limitations of data, and communicate our output coherently.


Responsibilities:



  • Provide accountability, goal-setting, and strong guidance for the data scientists on your team.

  • Strengthen our relationship with other disciplines and departments through effective collaboration.

  • Practice radical candor, giving direct and actionable feedback to the people you manage, as well as to the people you don’t.

  • Take part in recruiting, including reviewing, shaping, and evolving our process, training team members to interview effectively, and proactively engaging candidates.

  • Develop KPIs and measures of success in a cross-platform world.

  • Lead development of data tools, including AB testing, prediction and classification based services.

  • Scope appropriately pragmatic solutions to complex, unclear problems, with a focus on tractable approaches and actionable results.

  • Communicate complex ideas in a clear, precise, yet accessible way to product, engineering, and editorial teams.


Requirements:



  • 5+ years’ of industry experience building data products and deriving insights from large datasets.

  • 2+ years’ experience managing and mentoring data scientists of varied experience levels

  • Experience with media or consumer facing tech a plus.

  • Expertise using both relational and nonrelational databases.

  • Proficiency with analysis tools like R or Pandas and at least one scripting language (preferably Python).
