StubHub is seeking a Senior Data Scientist to join its Data Engineering & Analytics team. This role involves developing and deploying advanced machine learning models to inform business and operational decisions within StubHub's dynamic environment. The Data Science team plays a crucial role in enabling data-driven decisions across the organization by leveraging consumer data through statistical and machine learning techniques.
As a Senior Data Scientist, you will lead the strategy and execution of model development in areas such as Experimentation, Forecasting, Pricing, or Customer Acquisition. Your responsibilities include building state-of-the-art machine learning models, serving as a subject matter expert on predictive modeling, collaborating with business partners to develop project roadmaps, and mentoring junior team members. Effective communication skills are essential to convey complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Candidates should have 7-11 years of relevant data science or machine learning experience, with a preference for an MS or Ph.D. in math, statistics, computer science, or related quantitative fields. Proficiency in transforming and analyzing large-scale data using modern cloud computing platforms (e.g., SparkSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks) and high proficiency with query languages like SQL are required. Expertise in Python or R, along with numerical and scientific libraries used for statistics and machine learning (e.g., Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn), is essential. Experience in building production-level models in cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure) and demonstrated proficiency in time series modeling and real-time forecasting are advantageous. A passion for collaborating with non-technical stakeholders to understand and deliver on their data needs is also important.
The compensation package includes a competitive base salary ranging from $200,000 to $250,000 USD, equity, and benefits such as unlimited Flex Time Off, 401(k), and premium Health, Vision, and Dental Insurance options.
