We are seeking an exceptional Data Scientist to join our Data Science & Analytics group to focus on models for customer attribution. You will contribute tremendous value to our business by providing helping us figure out how to attribute customers to our various acquisition channels, including SEM (Search Engine Marketing), Display, YouTube, and other performance platforms.

What you’ll do:

- Contribute to the development and maintenance of the machine learning components of the core Pythonic technology platform as a primary individual contributor.
- Support customer-facing teams with reports, analyses, insights and actionable information.
Ideally you:
- Have hands-on experience analyzing data in digital e-commerce, marketplace, or other web-based technology businesses.
- Have excellent experience using SQL.
- Have Python experience in a production environment, as well as with Jupyter notebooks.

- Have worked with cross functional product teams (designers, engineers, product managers).
- Are able to explain complex analyses and translate complex conclusions into straightforward and actionable business terms.
- Thrive on juggling multiple projects – and tying them together. You’ll be most successful when you’ve understood the interplay of all our parts.
What you’ll get from us:
Importantly, you’ll get a tremendous amount of authority and autonomy. You’ll own your outcomes and see measurable results for your efforts.
