About The Position

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together. As a Business Data Scientist on the YouTube Business Go-To-Market Impact Measurement team, you will work closely with business leaders to help shape the future of YouTube. You will leverage rigorous techniques from causal inference, advanced statistical modeling, and machine learning. It will be your responsibility to determine the best approach for solving problems and to communicate clearly with decision-makers who may or may not have a strong technical background. We are looking for a detail-oriented problem solver with broad knowledge of causal inference, Bayesian statistics, and machine learning. We use a large set of methodologies, ranging from experimental to observational techniques, touching on a broad range of problems from different functional and product areas. The ideal candidate is comfortable wearing multiple hats and is passionate about conducting causal studies and helping stakeholders implement data-driven decisions. Creative problem-solving and stakeholder management skills are critical. Given the nature of the position, someone who loves to learn new things will be successful. Effective data scientists on our team keep up with advances in the causal inference literature. When existing methodologies are not well suited for the problem at hand, you will be encouraged to develop new methods in collaboration with your teammates and work with our summer interns on research projects. We also attend relevant conferences and organize internal events to keep our toolkit updated and to educate the broader Google community.
