  • 8+ years of combined post-graduate academic and industry experience building and shipping production time-series/forecasting models with web-scale data.
  • A track record of delivering adjustable, well-calibrated, and explainable forecasting systems that informing decision-making.
  • Strong background in time-series modeling and applied statistics/econometrics; advanced degree (MS or PhD) preferred.
  • Expertise in at least one scripting language (ideally Python).
  • Strong SQL skills (Hive/Presto/Spark SQL) and experience building reliable data pipelines/workflows (e.g., Airflow).
  • Business acumen and ownership mindset-able to simplify complex problems, connect model outputs to business levers, and prioritize for impact.
  • Excellent communication skills-able to distill complex analyses and uncertainty into concise narratives for executive audiences.
  • Proven technical leadership-success leading critical projects and materially influencing the scope and output of other contributors.
