  • Mentor a team of data scientists (DS2s and DS3s), helping them with project planning, execution, and on-call issue resolution.
  • Design and optimize key user journeys (e.g., Reseller Experience, Search, Fraud Systems) by identifying user intents and behavioral patterns from large-scale data.
  • Collaborate with machine learning engineers and big data teams to build scalable ML pipelines and improve inference performance.
  • Continuously track and improve model performance using state-of-the-art (SOTA) techniques and libraries.
  • Lead experimental design for usability improvements and user growth, leveraging statistical rigor.
  • Contribute to system-level thinking by enhancing internal tools, frameworks, and libraries to improve team efficiency and code quality.
  • Partner with engineering to ensure data reliability, compliance with security/PII guidelines, and integration of models into production systems.
  • Proactively explore new areas of opportunity through research, data mining, and academic collaboration, including publishing and attending top-tier conferences.
  • Communicate findings, plans, and results clearly with DS, product, and tech stakeholders, and create technical documentation consumable by both DS and engineering teams.
  • Conduct research collaborations with premier colleges and universities.
  • Attend conferences and publish research papers.
