What you need

  • Experience with experimentation platforms at scale (e.g., building or significantly extending an internal experimentation platform)

Nice to have

  • Published research or industry contributions in areas such as interference in experiments, network experimentation, or marketplace causal inference
  • Familiarity with Bayesian experimental methods, bandit algorithms, or adaptive experimental designs
  • Experience with social network or user-generated content platforms where community-level dynamics create non-trivial experimentation challenges

What you get

  • Global Benefit programs that fit your lifestyle, from workspace to professional development to caregiving support
