Job Level
About the role
- Develop models and analyses to optimize **system performance across competing constraints** (e.g., power usage vs data quality vs responsiveness)
- Define and implement **end-to-end observability**, establishing metrics across system components and dependencies
- Design and run experiments (e.g., pre/post, control vs test) to evaluate changes and detect regressions at both component and system levels
- Build and refine **anomaly detection and failure analysis** methods across complex, real-world data
- Lead **ad hoc investigations** into system issues, identifying root causes and driving resolution with cross-functional teams
- Translate insights into actionable recommendations across **Firmware, Hardware, Software, and Operations**, driving measurable improvements in system behavior
- Develop predictive systems for **early issue detection and performance forecasting**, including in environments with limited historical data
- Continuously evolve analyses into **scalable intelligence systems** that support monitoring, decision-making, and automation
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in data science working on **production systems or real-world applications**
- Proven experience **building, deploying, and maintaining models in production environments**
- Strong proficiency in **Python and SQL**
- Experience working with **complex, real-world datasets** (e.g., time-series, event-based, or system-generated data)
- Strong foundation in **statistical analysis, experimentation, and/or anomaly detection**
- Proven ability to **bring structure to ambiguous, open-ended problems**, iterating quickly to drive toward practical, high-impact solutions (80/20 mindset)
- Experience working cross-functionally with engineering and operational teams
