## About the role

We're looking for a Staff Data Scientist to own the product modeling roadmap and contribute to marketing measurement. You'll design, build, and deploy production ML models, partnering closely with PMs to scope and prioritize. The right candidate defines what to model before anyone asks, stress-tests their own assumptions, and communicates uncertainty in terms stakeholders can act on. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years in data science or ML at established firms or high-growth tech
- Strong command of supervised learning and recommendation systems, you've shipped production models, not just notebooks
- Proficiency in Python (pymc, scikit-learn, XGBoost/LightGBM) and SQL
- Hands-on Bayesian experience: prior elicitation, posterior inference, and experiment design
- Experience deploying production models integrated with consumer-facing products
- Strong communication skills, able to translate model behavior and uncertainty into stakeholder recommendations
