Data Scientist 4- Interactive Discovery

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology.

Come be a part of what's next. Interactive Discovery covers the ways members explicitly tell Netflix what they want, rather than waiting to be served a recommendation, and it has two components. The first one is our Search platform, which aims at seamlessly integrating with a member's entire discovery process, powered by intelligent querying systems.

The second one is Member Spaces & Inputs, which aims at enabling a member's discovery journey from anticipating and planning to watch certain content, to tuning in at the right moment through features such as Continue Watching, My List, and Remind Me. The Team: Interactive Discovery DSE The Interactive Discovery Data Science & Engineering team builds the data, analytics, and experimentation strategy across Search and Inputs - from how Search and GenSearch understand and respond to what a member is looking for, to how features like Continue Watching, My List, and Remind Me help members act on their intent throughout their discovery journey. We partner closely with Product, Engineering, Algos, and Consumer Insights to advance the science behind the various product features, and hold ourselves to a high bar because getting it right means members spend less time searching and more time watching something they'll love.

We are seeking a Data Scientist with a strong background in experimentation and causal inference to lead the day-to-day partnership between Interactive Discovery DSE and our Member Spaces & Inputs product team.

Live, Games) To be successful in this role, you have: At least 3 years of relevant experience, with demonstrated strength in experimentation and causal inference Hands-on experience designing and analyzing experiments, with comfort applying causal inference and measurement techniques beyond vanilla A/B tests Exceptional communication skills with technical and non-technical audiences, able to influence your partners using clear actionable insights and recommendations Strong thought partnership, able to own direct relationships with stakeholders and build credibility through clarity and judgment Ability to translate ambiguous asks into clear data science solutions to influence the business Strong SQL and Python skills, including building dashboards and automations that improve team efficiency and surface insights Good judgment to balance between addressing stakeholder or test-specific needs and investing in scalable solutions to serve general use cases Ability to work independently, drive your own projects end-to-end, and thrive in ambiguous situations Additionally, an exceptional candidate will have: Experience with algorithms as a product PhD/Masters degree in Statistics, Economics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field Familiarity with Gen AI productivity tools Generally, our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses.
