## About the role

We're seeking a Senior Data Scientist to serve as an embedded Data Scientist within our Programmatic Experience Group. You'll own the design and deployment of machine learning models that optimize yield, pricing, and inventory allocation at scale — sitting at the intersection of data science, platform engineering, and marketplace economics.

## What they're looking for

- Production ML engineering: Proven ability to take models from prototype to production independently — including real-time inference, monitoring, retraining pipelines, and SLO ownership
- Data architecture: Experience designing and building data pipelines, feature stores, and training infrastructure for high-volume, low-latency ML systems
- Technical skills:
- Strong Python and SQL, proficiency with ML libraries (scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM, PyTorch/TensorFlow) and large-scale data tools (Spark, Kafka, or equivalent streaming/batch frameworks)
- Experience with real-time feature serving and low-latency model deployment (REST APIs, gRPC, or streaming inference)
- Familiarity with production ML workflows: model versioning, drift monitoring, A/B testing, evaluation, and retraining
