Job Description
Senior Data Scientist
Hungryroot
• Separate durable preference from noise. Design robust feature representations from high-cardinality, implicit behavioral data (swaps, skips, saves) to capture true user intent and predict future engagement. • Model temporal dynamics and changing tastes. Architect sequential and recency-aware systems that adapt to shifting user preferences, ensuring recommendations reflect current intent rather than stale history. • Solve the cold-start problem. Leverage cohort signals, clustering, and content embeddings to generalize learnings across users, ensuring that even a new customer’s first box feels deeply personalized. • Bridge ML and constrained optimization. Integrate model scores (e.g., predicted conversion) with operations-research engines to perform business-aware re-ranking, balancing personalization with hard constraints like diet, budget, and inventory. • Advance the modeling. Evolve our systems using the architectures that drive modern, high-scale personalization, such as multi-stage retrieval and ranking, learning-to-rank (LTR), matrix factorization, and gradient-boosted trees. You will also evaluate and integrate more sophisticated techniques (like contextual bandits or sequence modeling) as our data complexity grows. • Drive rigorous experimentation. Define robust offline evaluation metrics (e.g., NDCG, MAP) and design online A/B tests to measure true causal impact on customer retention and satisfaction
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in data science, applied machine learning, or a related quantitative role.
- Champion ML system best practices. You treat the ML lifecycle as a rigorous discipline, moving systematically from problem definition and feature engineering to robust offline evaluation, online experimentation, and CI/CD for ML.
- Deep expertise in personalization, search ranking, or recommender systems, with hands-on experience building multi-stage architectures (candidate generation, scoring, and re-ranking).
- Strong grounding in statistics, causal inference, and experimentation, with the ability to define proxy metrics and design tests that measure long-term business impact.
- Production-level engineering skills in Python and SQL, with hands-on experience scaling models using big data frameworks and an understanding of system latency trade-offs.
- A commercial mindset to translate complex business constraints into scalable ML architectures.
- Clear communication and a collaborative, remote-friendly working style, including mentoring others.
Benefits
