About the role

  • We're seeking a Data Scientist to join our team.
  • This is hands-on, applied data science on real workforce problems, working with skills and occupation taxonomies, labor market data, and the matching and recommendation systems that turn that data into better outcomes for job seekers.
  • Skills and jobs data: Work with skills, occupation, and career taxonomies and labor market data, improving how we represent and reason about the world of work.

Responsibilities

  • Build, evaluate, and ship models for matching, recommendation, and ranking that directly shape the job seeker experience.
  • Collaborate with Engineering to move models into production reliably, and monitor and improve them once they are live.
  • Your grit, hunger, and drive are.
  • AI provides data points to support our team's evaluation but does not make or recommend final hiring decisions.

Requirements

  • Strong applied data science experience (roughly 4+ years), with a track record of shipping models that made it into a real product
  • Explicit jobs-and-skills or workforce data experience, OR experience with closely related data where there is a clear pathway to apply it to workforce problems (this is a firm criterion for the role)
  • Comfort working with large, imperfect datasets and making sound judgment calls about them
  • Clear communication: you can explain a model and its tradeoffs to a non-technical audience
  • Experience with recommender systems, ranking, or search at scale
  • Familiarity with skills/occupation frameworks (e.g. O*NET, ESCO) or HR/labor market data
  • Experience pairing classical ML with LLMs, including where to use each and how to add guardrails
  • Publications, presentations, blog posts, or other public artifacts showcasing your expertise and depth of knowledge in data science

Skills

  • Drive to Outcomes
  • Raise the Bar
  • Speed Matters
