Job Description

The Data Science team builds applications that make sense of the data created by Mailchimp’s millions of users. We use cutting-edge machine learning models, advanced natural language processing and image processing, to save our users time, increase their productivity and make them better marketers. We help them improve targeting and boost marketing and revenue using smart recommendations, create on-brand content, reach the right audience, and improve campaign performance with our data-driven tools. This role will focus on helping our users engage with their customers.

The ideal candidate is a self-directed, experienced data scientist who believes in demonstrating how data can be used to help our customers.

Communication and cross-validation are tools you use every day.

What you'll do:

• Lead and collaborate with multiple teams to accelerate model implementation
• Develop a wide range of advanced natural language processing models working with topic detection, tone, and intent for our predictive applications as well as improve existing ones using Python’s scientific computing stack
• Develop sophisticated marketing conversion optimization algorithms
• Create models to generate content (text) for our users
• Work to improve quality and mitigate bias in Mailchimp data systems
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance for team members
• Embrace and demonstrate our values: humility, creativity, and independence

Responsibilities

We'd love to hear from you if:

• 7+ years experience working on data science projects or applications at scale
• Experience working with natural language processing models
• Strong development experience in Python
• Understanding of statistical analysis and machine learning techniques
• Strong experience in database systems (SQL or NoSQL)
• Strong experience with Cloud platforms (Google Cloud, AWS...)
• Ability to communicate methods and results of analyses
