Your work will include the implementation of production ready systems, and experimentation / hypothesis testing to evaluate improvements and new opportunities. You will be part of a tight knit, geographically distributed team with a short, and clear path to impact. Your job responsibilities will shift with the team as phases of the project develop, from prototypes to engineering milestones to production.

Your role will require problem solving and novel research in one of the most challenging data domains. We are highly collaborative, so expect to work frequently with core and extended team members across Mountain View, New York, and London.
