About the Lead Data Scientist role:

  • Strategic Problem Framing & Vision: Lead the translation of complex,  business challenges into multi-quarter data science roadmaps that directly shape product strategy and commercial outcomes
  • Experimentation Architecture: Drive the methodology, design, and standards for DT’s centralized experimentation framework — serving as the primary authority on causal inference, A/B testing, and hypothesis validation across product surfaces
  • Advanced Modeling & System Architecture: Architect and oversee the development of production-grade statistical and ML models for bid optimization, audience segmentation, recommendations, and user lifetime value (LTV) 
  • Real-Time Data Intelligence: Direct the strategy for time-series forecasting and real-time event processing to enhance automated decisioning, yield optimization, and recommendation engines
  • Engineering Partnership & Productionization: Partner with ML Infrastructure and Data Engineering leads to establish best practices for model deployment, monitoring, and integration 
  • Practical Application: Proven ability to take theoretical state of the art advances and apply them to DT’s engines in a strategic and scalable manner 
  • Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Elevate the technical rigor of the data science organization. Mentor senior and mid-level scientists, establish code and methodology standards, and foster an evidence-based culture across the company
  • Executive Influence: Translate deep technical findings into strategic narratives for executive stakeholders, influencing product strategy and commercial investments



About You As the Lead Data Scientist:

  • Experience: 8+ years of progressive experience in data science, quantitative analysis, or machine learning, with a track record of technical leadership in AdTech, two-sided marketplaces, or consumer-scale data platforms
  • Technical Mastery: Expertise in advanced statistical modeling, causal inference, experimental design, and machine learning architectures (regression, classification, time-series, clustering, deep learning, multi-armed bandits, and large language models)
  • Stack & Scale: Expert fluency in Python (or R), SQL, and handling petabyte-scale data within cloud infrastructure (e.g., Databricks, Spark, Snowflake, AWS/GCP)
  • Systemic Thinking: Proven ability to look beyond individual analyses to design scalable tools, reusable metrics frameworks, and automated modeling pipelines
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Exceptional communication and alignment skills, with a history of driving technical strategy across matrixed product, engineering, and business organizations



Nice to Haves:

  • Hands-on experience architecting metrics semantic layers or enterprise experimentation tools
  • Deep domain expertise in real-time bidding (RTB) auctions, algorithmic yield management, large scale content recommendation engines, or advanced attribution methodologies
  • Masters or Ph.D. in a quantitative field (Statistics, Computer Science, Economics, Operations Research, or Physics)
