The Role

Digital Turbine has every ingredient of a marketplace business - advertisers, publishers, OEMs, carriers, consumers, devices, and proprietary device-level data. Our job in Data Science is to turn that raw advantage into intelligence: the insights, models, and experiments that optimize the marketplace and prove the value we create.

As a Senior Data Scientist, you'll partner with engineering, product, and business leaders to drive analysis that shapes strategy - from bidding efficacy and audience curation to measurement, attribution, and our centralized experimentation platform. You'll help DT build a culture of continuous, evidence-based improvement across every product surface.

About the Senior Data Scientist Role
  • Frame ambiguous business problems as crisp, testable data and modeling questions, and deliver analysis that informs product and commercial strategy
  • Design and analyze experiments (A/B and beyond) and help establish DT's centralized experimentation tracking - a single source of truth for hypotheses, results, and decisions
  • Build statistical and ML models for audience segmentation, bid/UA optimization, lifetime value, and measurement/attribution
  • Develop time-series and real-time event understanding that improves the timeliness and relevance of recommendations and bidding
  • Partner with ML and Data Engineering to productionize models and feed insights into the Next Best Action framework
  • Communicate findings clearly to technical and executive audiences, and mentor other analysts and scientists


About You as the Senior Data Scientist
  • 8+ years in data science or quantitative analysis, ideally in AdTech, marketplaces, or consumer-scale products
  • Strong foundations in experimental design, hypothesis testing, causal inference, and statistical/ML modeling (regression, classification, clustering, time-series)
  • Fluency in SQL and Python (or R), and comfort working with large-scale data in cloud data warehouses / lakes
  • Distinctive problem-solving skills and the ability to translate analysis into business recommendations
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to influence senior stakeholders

Nice to have
  • Experience with Databricks, Spark, or semantic-layer / metrics platforms
  • Background in bidding, auctions, recommendation, or measurement/attribution
  • Experience standing up experimentation tooling or analytics infrastructure
