  • Analyze large datasets using advanced statistical and machine learning methods.

  • Communicate findings clearly to a range of technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Academic background in machine learning, optimization, statistics, or econometrics.

  • Fluency working with large datasets using tools such as Python, R, SQL, or Spark.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills — able to make complex ideas accessible.

  • A track record of rigorous, high-quality research.

You might also have

  • Experience or coursework in advertising, marketplaces, or recommendation systems.

  • Familiarity with causal inference methods such as A/B testing or uplift modeling.

  • Genuine curiosity about applied research and the drive to see ideas through to impact.
