Job Summary
In this role, you will develop ML and LLM-based systems to process user-generated data, taking full ownership from problem analysis to deployment in production.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- We are on the lookout for a Senior Data Scientist to join our Content tribe.
- We're building the next generation of ratings & reviews (social proof) systems from scratch - reimagining how millions of users make decisions across our platforms.
- This is a true greenfield space where we're leveraging LLMs and modern NLP approaches to turn messy, real-world user content into clear, actionable signals.
- We're in the middle of rebuilding momentum and ownership of these systems, with a lot still undefined and up for grabs.
- This isn't about incremental modeling - it's about taking full ownership of data products end-to-end: shaping the problem, building the solution, and making it work reliably in production in a fast-moving, high-impact environment.
- You will own and scale social proof solutions end-to-end, ensuring high quality, reliability, and coverage across languages, platforms, and use cases, while proactively managing drift, miscalibration, and data quality issues.
- You will drive the product and roadmap through problem discovery, identifying high-impact opportunities, quantifying business value, and translating them into concrete DS/ML initiatives.
- You'll take ML and LLM solutions from prototype to production, building robust, scalable systems and collaborating closely with backend and data engineering on architecture and data flows.
- You'll establish LLM evaluation infrastructure, building offline evaluation pipelines and annotation processes that allow the team to make confident decisions about prompt changes, model switches, and system iterations.
- You will establish statistical rigor in decision-making, designing and owning A/B tests and quasi-experiments, and ensuring credible impact measurement aligned with real business outcomes.
- You'll define and operationalize meaningful metrics, ensuring evaluation reflects true business value rather than misleading proxies.
- You'll raise the bar for data science in the team, driving best practices, mentoring others, and contributing to a culture of ownership, pragmatism, and technical excellence.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- You can reason empirically about cost, latency, and quality tradeoffs across model providers and make principled model selection decisions.
- You are comfortable owning production systems, not just building models, and take responsibility for reliability, performance, and outcomes.
- You write production-grade code in Python and SQL, and are familiar with ML lifecycle practices, orchestration, monitoring, and modern engineering standards (e.g., CI/CD, version control).
- You are familiar with LLM-specific observability: tracing chained LLM calls, monitoring token usage and cost, and instrumenting multi-step pipelines for reliability and debugging.
- You can translate ambiguous business problems into well-scoped DS/ML solutions, communicate trade-offs clearly, and operate effectively in fast-moving, uncertain environments.
- You bring a strong foundation in statistics and causal inference, including experimentation, hypothesis testing, and robust evaluation practices.
- You can define meaningful metrics and challenge misleading results, ensuring decisions are grounded in real business impact.
- You take ownership beyond your individual work, contributing to team standards, mentoring others, and raising the overall bar for Data Science.
Experience
- You have hands-on experience with NLP and LLM-based systems in user-generated, noisy, multilingual contexts - with clear judgment on when LLMs add value, when to prompt-engineer vs. fine-tune, and how to optimize prompts systematically at scale.
- You have experience owning data science solutions end-to-end, from problem definition to production, iteration, and continuous improvement.
