We look for battle-tested data scientists who understand that real impact comes from turning messy, unstructured data into business-critical insights that drive company direction. You don't just build models: you solve business problems and translate statistical findings into actions the team takes.
Typically, your profile will look like this
- Background: a degree in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, Physics, Math or a related quantitative field
- Experience: 3 or more years of hands-on data science in fast-paced business environments, at Tier 1 consultancies, Big Tech, high-growth start-ups and scale-ups, or media industry leaders
- Python: expert-level proficiency with the standard data science and ML frameworks, and SQL as a daily tool
- Data acquisition: you have brought new raw data sources into use and made them reliable enough to decide on
- Statistical rigour: you design and read experiments properly, you know when a signal is noise, and you have run A/B tests or causal analyses that changed a decision
- Models in production: you have deployed models that people actually used, and you know what it takes to keep them honest over time
- AI-native: extensive hands-on experience with agentic coding tools and LLMs in your data workflows
- From data to decision: you find the opportunity in the data and propose the next step, and your dashboards and visualizations (standard libraries or Tableau) are the ones leadership trusts
- Collaboration: you work well across engineering, product and business teams, and colleagues would describe you as hard-working, ambitious and persistent
- Pace: you thrive in a fast-paced and performance-oriented environment
- A big plus: you're obsessed with music, video or social media
What makes this exciting
You are one of the first employees of an ambitious team, changing the world of media and entertainment. Being early means every decision you make shapes our trajectory. You're not a cog in the machine but the captain of your own ship, rewarded for performance and respected for leadership. Flat hierarchies mean that your voice matters, your ideas get implemented, and your impact is immediate.
We pay competitive salaries and make you an owner of the business with equity. We work remotely to give you complete freedom over your life, while meeting regularly around the world for global offsites where we strategize, bond, and push boundaries together.
What the process will look like
We hire on a rolling basis. Earliest starting date is always ASAP.
Once you begin our process, you can progress from start to offer within a week, depending on how quickly you can move through each stage:
- Initial interview: 30-minute introductory call, getting to know you
- Case interview: 90-minute case discussion, present and debate your skills
- Founder interview: 90-minute interview with our CEO, going deep on all topics
- Offer, contract signing and onboarding
Note: As we are still in stealth, you will learn more about Melotech as you progress through the stages. By the end of the Founder interview, you will have a full grasp of our business and the details of your role.
