Data Scientist

Traffic during holiday peaks can reach ten times normal levels, and the platform is built for it. Our engineering, trust and safety, and customer support teams work across offices in Los Angeles and several other countries. Core hours are 10 to 3, and the rest of the day is flexible.

Ravenworth Labs needs someone comfortable with both statistics and production code. This hire will own our demand forecasting models and the process for keeping them accurate as conditions change. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in India, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. You will need at least 3 hours of overlap with US Pacific time. Please make sure you have dependable internet and backup power.

In this role you will:

• Pull and shape data with SQL from Snowflake, BigQuery or Databricks
• Design and analyse A/B tests, including power calculations and guardrail metrics
• Partner with data engineering on feature tables and data quality
• Present findings to product, marketing and finance leaders with clear recommendations
• Validate model performance and document assumptions and limitations
• Estimate causal effects with difference-in-differences, propensity matching or regression discontinuity
• Develop time series forecasts with Prophet, statsmodels or gradient-boosted approaches
• Build predictive models in Python using scikit-learn, XGBoost or LightGBM

You'll need:

• 3+ years of applied data science experience
• Ability to communicate uncertainty and tradeoffs to non-technical audiences
• Solid grasp of statistical inference, regression and experimental design
• Comfort with Jupyter, VS Code or Databricks notebooks
• MS or PhD in statistics, economics, computer science, physics or another quantitative field, or a BS plus equivalent experience
• Strong Python (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn) and SQL

Preferred:

• Spark for large datasets
• Bayesian methods with PyMC or Stan
• MLflow or another experiment tracking tool

Perks and benefits:

Rate: ₹24.5-29.5 LPA

• Home office setup budget
• Performance bonus
• 20 days paid time off
• Health insurance through our employer-of-record partner

If you are shortlisted, we will reach out to set up a first call.

Candidates must be eligible to work in India.

Start: Immediately.
