Sr. Data Scientist

Meta Meta · Big Tech · Menlo Park, CA

Meta is seeking a Sr. Data Scientist to work with large datasets, solve complex problems using analytical and statistical approaches, and partner with Product and Engineering teams. The role involves informing product decisions, working with data infrastructure (Hadoop, Hive, MySQL), authoring pipelines (SQL, Python ETL), guiding experimentation, and developing machine learning models including label design and evaluation. The scientist will leverage Python and R to make strategic business decisions, apply causal inference, design/evaluate experiments, monitor metrics, build dashboards, and develop models of user behavior. This includes influencing product teams through presentations, communicating results, and spreading best practices. The role requires applying predictive modeling, machine learning, and experimentation/causal inference methods regularly.

What you'd actually do

  1. Responsible for machine learning model development including guiding Machine Learning Engineers on the authoring of Machine Learning models such as guiding label design, and offline and online evaluation of results.
  2. Apply predictive modeling, machine learning, and experimentation / causal inference methods regularly to solve real life problems.
  3. Inform, influence, support, and execute our product decisions and product launches.
  4. Guide experimentation across the Core Ads Growth organization (~1,200 people for all functions).
  5. Building models of user behaviors for analysis or to power production systems.
