DT has every ingredient of a marketplace business — advertisers, publishers, OEMs, carriers, consumers, devices, and proprietary device-level data. Our job in Data Science is to turn that raw advantage into intelligence: the insights, models, and systems that optimize the marketplace and prove the value we create. As a Lead Data Scientist, you will serve as a technical authority and strategic partner across engineering, product, and executive leadership. You will define technical roadmaps, architect high-impact ML and experimentation frameworks, and set the standard for data science excellence across DT’s global marketplace — from bidding efficacy and audience curation to measurement, attribution, and enterprise experimentation. About the Lead Data Scientist role: Strategic Problem Framing & Vision: Lead the translation of complex, high-ambiguity business challenges into multi-quarter data science roadmaps that directly shape product strategy and commercial outcomes. Experimentation Architecture: Drive the methodology, design, and standards for DT’s centralized experimentation framework — serving as the primary authority on causal inference, A/B testing, and hypothesis validation across product surfaces. Advanced Modeling & System Architecture: Architect and oversee the development of production-grade statistical and ML models for bid/UA optimization, dynamic audience segmentation, user lifetime value (LTV), and multi-touch attribution. Real-Time Data Intelligence: Direct the strategy for time-series forecasting and real-time event processing to enhance automated decisioning, yield optimization, and recommendation engines. Engineering Partnership & Productionization: Partner with ML Infrastructure and Data Engineering leads to establish best practices for model deployment, monitoring, and integration into DT’s Next Best Action framework. Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Elevate the technical rigor of the data science organization. Mentor senior and mid-level scientists, establish code and methodology standards, and foster an evidence-based culture across the company. Executive Influence: Translate deep technical findings into strategic narratives for executive stakeholders, influencing product strategy and commercial investments. About You As the Lead Data Scientist: Experience: 8+ years of progressive experience in data science, quantitative analysis, or machine learning, with a track record of technical leadership in AdTech, two-sided marketplaces, or consumer-scale data platforms. Technical Mastery: Expertise in advanced statistical modeling, causal inference, experimental design, and machine learning architectures (regression, classification, time-series, clustering, and deep learning). Stack & Scale: Expert fluency in Python (or R), SQL, and handling petabyte-scale data within cloud infrastructure (e.g., Databricks, Spark, Snowflake, AWS/GCP). Systemic Thinking: Proven ability to look beyond individual analyses to design scalable tools, reusable metrics frameworks, and automated modeling pipelines. Cross-Functional Leadership: Exceptional communication and alignment skills, with a history of driving technical strategy across matrixed product, engineering, and business organizations. Nice to Have: Hands-on experience architecting metrics semantic layers or enterprise experimentation tools. Deep domain expertise in real-time bidding (RTB) auctions, algorithmic yield management, or advanced attribution methodologies. Masters or Ph.D. in a quantitative field (Statistics, Computer Science, Economics, Operations Research, or Physics). At DT, we are committed to pay transparency and equitable compensation.
