Role Description

This is a full-time Data Scientist role with Newton Research, Inc., working from our offices in Needham, MA. You will develop production-level models and algorithms, analyze data, design experiments, and interpret results. More importantly, you will work with engineering to encode those abilities into software and train Newton to think like a data scientist. The data science team is small, so your work reaches customers quickly and your judgment shapes the product. We value self-motivated individuals who collaborate well across teams and can present and defend findings to stakeholders.

Responsibilities

Build production-level models and algorithms for media planning, audience, measurement and yield problems
Design and interpret experiments, including deciding what a result does and does not support
Work with engineering to encode your judgment into Newton's agents
Contribute to the evals and benchmarks that tell us whether an agent's analysis is correct, not just plausible

Qualifications

Master's or PhD in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related discipline
Strong foundation in data analysis, statistical modeling, causal inference, and machine learning concepts
Ability to evaluate a model, a causal experiment, or an AI-generated analysis and identify what it measures, where it fails, and how to verify it
Proficiency in Python, including data science libraries like pandas and scikit-learn
Strong SQL and experience working with relational databases
Ability to clearly explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
Experience writing code that ships to production, or with cloud data platforms such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, or Redshift, is a plus

Base Salary Range: $135,000-$165,000 + Equity
