Member of Technical Staff, Data Scientist / Statistician

About the Role

As a Data Scientist / Statistician, you’ll be one of the first hires focused on building the evaluation and experimentation frameworks for a brand-new enterprise ML product. Your work will guide how we understand model behavior, user impact, and product reliability—applying statistical rigor to every stage of development, from early experimentation to live A/B testing.

You’ll work closely with engineers and ML researchers to define what good looks like, how we measure it, and how we improve.

This is a good role for you if you:

• Have strong expertise in applied statistics, experimentation, and measurement design.
• Have worked in environments where model quality, safety, or user outcomes must be measured reliably and systematically.
• Are comfortable designing and analyzing experiments (A/B, multivariate, sequential, etc.) and know how to interpret real-world results.
• Can write analysis code in Python (pandas, NumPy, statsmodels, etc.) and communicate insights clearly across teams.
• Are excited to shape foundational metrics, benchmarks, and evaluation processes for an ML product from the ground up.

Responsibilities include:

• Designing experiments and evaluations to measure model safety, quality, and user value.
• Defining success metrics and building measurement frameworks that guide iteration and decision-making.
• Partnering with ML researchers to evaluate fine-tuning and alignment techniques through both quantitative and qualitative metrics.
• Building internal tools and dashboards to track and visualize key signals across model and product performance.
• Bringing statistical rigor to how we build, test, and improve enterprise-grade AI systems.
• Designing a user interface for non-technical users to explore and interpret complex datasets related to logistics and supply chain management.
• Develop interactive and dynamic visualizations to highlight interesting aspects of the data.
