Senior Applied Scientist

About this role

Drive modeling and data innovations for ad interaction outcome prediction under partial and noisy feedback. Focus on building estimated conversion models, designing data-driven attribution and weak-label generation pipelines, and developing robust learning and calibration methods for scenarios where true user outcomes are sparse, delayed, or unobservable. Design and evaluate multi-task and proxy-signal models, improve offline and online measurement frameworks, and translate modeling advances into production-ready systems that directly impact ad ranking, bidding, advertiser ROI, and user experience at web scale
