Data Scientist

Apple•Seattle, WA

4d•$137,500 - $207,100•Onsite

About The Position

Perform statistical analysis of retail online data with the purpose of optimization (A/B testing) and forecasting. Build, test, implement and analyze multivariate testing programs for the Apple Online Store. Quantify and analyze testing outcomes and provide analytical readouts on test results using various statistical techniques. Work with large and complex data sets and partner with Data Engineering teams to ensure accurate collection of data values into the analytical clickstream. Design and execute observational and experimental studies of causal inference to drive feature evaluation and product roadmap with data science based insights. Develop scalable data models and solutions to be used to drive analyses, reports, anomaly detections, alerts and insights. Influence upstream data model design, drive KPI definitions and develop customized data solutions. Measure impact of features and initiatives and help improve customer experience. Apply machine learning concepts such as regression, Natural Language Processing, Decision Trees, and Gradient Boosting, to develop holistic view of customer behavior and features to identify areas of opportunity for experimentation, feature improvements and algorithm optimizations. Collaborate and influence cross functional partners to help deliver product objectives on time. Communicate results, insights and expectations to partners and senior leaders. Work independently in sophisticated and highly visible projects, identify risks and develop frameworks, regularly connect with collaborators and leadership teams to propose features, develop and implement experiments for investigating and answering business questions.
