Senior Data Scientist - Ecosystem and Learning Platform

WHY DATA SCIENCE & ANALYTICS?

The Data Science & Analytics organization's mission is to increase our speed, frequency, and acumen in making decisions at scale by instilling a data-influenced approach to building products. We cover a wide area of the data spectrum, including analytical data engineering, product analytics, experimentation, causal inference, statistical modeling, and machine learning. Aligned and partnered with product verticals, we use this extensive tool belt to discover new opportunities and unmet use cases, influence and craft the product roadmap, and prioritize, build data products, and measure impact on our community of players and developers.

WHY ECOSYSTEM AND LEARNING PLATFORM?

We empower our data science organization and drive data-informed decision-making at scale. We do so by collaborating within data science and with cross-functional partners to tackle sophisticated business problems that span multiple areas of the Roblox ecosystem, by developing scalable solutions and tools, and by applying advanced data science methodologies. We are responsible for an experimentation and insights platform that provides comprehensive solutions for company-wide experimentation needs, integrates diverse data sources, and offers scalable, accessible data science products that yield actionable insights for product areas across Roblox.

As a member of this team, you will be crucial in ensuring the successful execution of hundreds of experiments on the platform. This is an exciting opportunity to collaborate with product data science partners to bring structure and build innovative solutions. In the process, you will help build ground breaking methodologies and tools that advance data science within our company and set industry standards. If you are a self-starter who is curious and passionate about using big data to build tangible business value and thrive in a dynamic, collaborative, and innovative environment, this is the place for you!
