Founding Data Scientist
Ascend, San Francisco
The role
We're hiring a Senior Data Scientist to own measurement across the surfaces that move our customers' money. Reporting to the Head of Data, you will settle the metric definitions that three teams currently disagree on, set the thresholds that decide when a human touches a document, and stay accountable for those thresholds after they go live. We cut a standalone data scientist role to fund this one. Building a model got cheap; being answerable when a threshold is wrong did not.
What you need
- Owned product data inside a live workflow rather than reporting on one, and can name the decision your number changed
- Deployed a model into a live workflow and owned it afterward, including calibration, drift, and the call to re-fit or retire
- Comfortable explaining calibration, drift, predicted-versus-realized, and re-fit timing to a non-technical owner
