  • Enhancing discovery, search, or personalization through rapid iteration on impactful algorithms.

  • Driving customer acquisition and engagement across restaurants, retail, or new verticals using data-driven targeting and incentives.

In all roles, you will remain actively engaged while managing your team. You will identify significant problems worth addressing and ensure that data science efforts translate into actionable insights for improved product and commercial strategies. Collaboration with Product, Engineering, Operations, Marketing, and Finance will be essential as you set the standard for analytical rigor, prioritization, and impact amidst complex metrics and stakeholder opinions.
