Medium
Medium is an open platform where readers find dynamic thinking, and where expert and undiscovered voices can share their writing on any topic.We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist who will help us build a new future for the written word on the web as part of a team that translates data into actionable insights. Broadly, Data Scientists at Medium focus on analysis — interpreting data, sharing insights, and developing models that improve the product. We work together to analyze patterns at a macro level, answering questions the rest of the company hasn’t thought to ask yet.
You’ll spend most of your time working on a product team: a group of engineers, designers, a product manager, and you, the Data Scientist, all working together in a small group to build new features.
You’ll extract key data and findings, define metrics, evaluate A|B tests, identify opportunities based on the data, and share new insights that no one considered before. You’ll bring data to bear on a set of thorny questions at the intersection of tech and media, helping us grow our ecosystem of readers and writers and build a new economic model for written content.
Day to day, you will:
- Be a strategic partner to a diverse range of stakeholders in editorial, engineering, marketing, and product management, generating data-driven insights to influence the direction of our product roadmap and critical operating decisions.
- Partner with the organization to define our goals and the portfolio of metrics to measure performance against
- Identify the level and cadence of information needed to operate key business areas and build dashboards and reports to drive decisions.
- Leverage a range of sophisticated ML techniques to uncover deeper insights about our users and content
- Design and analyze experiments to answer key business questions.
- Build data pipelines and models that enable incisive analyses and performant data visualizations
- Provide mentorship and guidance to team members, identify and recommend best practices, and help level up overall team capabilities
- Be a champion for Data Science and evidence-based decision-making throughout the organization, educating and advocating for its use.
Requirements:
- 6+ years of experience doing quantitative analysis and ML at a consumer-facing technology company
- Experience with stakeholder management; effectively driving shared priorities and persuading through storytelling with data
- Strong Python skills at running data analytics using Pandas, Jupyter Notebook, and the Python ecosystem
- Experience writing and optimizing complex SQL queries on large data sets
- Experience with data pipeline, from data preparation to analysis to deployment
- Strong in inferential statistics, especially in an experimentation setting (hypothesis testing, power analysis, experimental design)
- Skilled in building machine learning models, including classification models, natural language processing, and training models on large data sets
- Experience manipulating large data sets through SQL, Python
Skills & Experience that is "Nice to Have" includes:
- Experience leading others in a data/analytics function
- Experience developing in Looker
- Natural Language Processing (NLP) with large data sets
- Experience in big data technologies like Spark
- Experience with production model deployment in cloud environments like AWS
- Management consulting or similar internal strategy experience
Interested? We'd love to hear from you.
