We're remote first, and most of the company works East Coast hours.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

By day 60, you run our insurance marketplace media buying on your own.

By the end of your first year:

• Click wall serving that matches each user to the right carrier
• Carrier conversion data running in production models
• Automated marketplace bidding taken from proof of concept to scale
• A clear approach for repeat users and sparse sessions
• Production models that hold up through drift and changing objectives
• Output the business trusts and uses without rework

MUST HAVE

• 5+ years of hands-on applied data science with measurable business impact
• Your models drove paid media decisions: spend, bidding or ad serving. Attribution and reporting alone don't qualify.
• You built what's on your resume and can explain it down to the loss function and architecture choice, neural network fundamentals included
• You see how today's bids shape tomorrow's training data, and you've handled late labels, sparse features or drift
• You own models end to end: you find your own data, build through deployment and monitoring, and bring a point of view
• Expert Python and SQL

NICE TO HAVES

• Real ad budget spent in live auctions
• Large-scale ranking or recommendation systems
• Explaining tradeoffs to non-technical partners in plain terms
• Designing for auction feedback loops, selection bias and exploration
• Hands-on neural network work, such as embeddings of text, creative or user behavior
• AWS for data science: ECS, S3, Athena, SageMaker
• CI/CD deployment
