The Senior Data Scientist plays a critical role in shaping the future of business by developing algorithms and models that forecast trends and translate business needs into actionable analytics for executive decision-making. With a strong foundation in AI/ML and pricing optimization, this role leads ML model experimentation — scaling sensitivity-to-elasticity experiments across more markets simultaneously — while driving model measurement, tuning, and pilot measurement strategy. By conducting large-scale experiments, the Senior Data Scientist addresses complex business questions and uncovers hidden relationships within extensive datasets.
Duties and Responsibilities
Perform Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and initial investigations on data to discover patterns, spot anomalies, and check assumptions
Build predictive models using statistical and machine learning techniques, with a focus on pricing optimization and elasticity modeling
Augment ML model experimentation by scaling sensitivity-to-elasticity analyses, enabling more experiments and markets to run concurrently
Design and execute pilot measurement strategies to evaluate model performance in live environments before full deployment
Continuously measure, monitor, tune, and optimize models within the production environment to ensure health, accuracy, and business impact
Create visual representations of data to communicate findings effectively and share with other Data Scientists for input and storytelling
