Senior Data Scientist

We're on the lookout for an accomplished Senior Data Scientist to join the Data Engineering & Analytics team at StubHub. In this role, you'll play a pivotal part in crafting and deploying cutting-edge machine learning models that drive business and operational choices within StubHub's dynamic ecosystem.

Our Data Science team serves as the backbone for enabling data-driven decisions across the organization, harnessing the potential of StubHub's consumer data through statistical and machine learning techniques. This involves creating both business-facing and customer-facing products, along with delivering user-friendly tools and clear explanations for non-technical users to enhance self-service capabilities.

About the Role:
As a Senior Data Scientist, you'll be the driving force in a business domain, steering the strategy and execution of model development. You will lead teams—first through influence and likely later through a small team of direct reports. We're seeking someone uniquely passionate about constructing models that empower data-driven decisions, equipped with robust engineering principles that enable full ownership throughout the model lifecycle. Additionally, effective communication skills to convey complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences are essential.
