Qualifications - 8+ years in data science, machine learning, or advanced analytics, with at least 3 years managing technical teams. - Proven track record of delivering business impact through data science in a product-driven tech environment. - Hands-on expertise with GCP data and ML services: BigQuery, Vertex AI, Dataflow, BigQuery ML, and related tools. - Strong proficiency in Python, Spark, SQL, and common data science libraries (pandas, scikit-learn, TensorFlow/PyTorch, etc.). - Demonstrated ability to explain technical concepts and results clearly to non-technical audiences. - Experience operating in agile environments with cross-functional collaboration. Requirements - Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field (preferred but not required). - Familiarity with Master Data Management principles to maintain high-quality, governed reference data (preferred but not required). - Exposure to geospatial tools (e.g., BigQuery GIS) or location-based analytics (preferred but not required). - Experience building and scaling cloud-native MLOps pipelines (preferred but not required). Benefits - Competitive salaries, annual bonuses, equity, and opportunities for growth. - Comprehensive health benefits including a no-monthly-cost medical plan. - Parental leave plan of 5 or 13 weeks fully paid. - 401k matching at 100% for the first 3% you save and 50% from 3-5%. - Company-wide outdoor adventures and amazing outdoor industry perks. - Annual “Get Out, Get Active” funds to fuel your active lifestyle in and outside of the gym. - Flexible time away package that includes PTO, STO, VTO, and Holidays.
