ABOUT THE TEAM 🤝

Data Scientists at Rocket Money further our mission by working to understand and deepen customer relationships with our many financial products. Our team builds models that identify and engage customers who would benefit from mortgage and personal loan products. We work with our product and engineering teams to understand, explain, and predict retention.

We have a strong preference for team players that are comfortable collaborating across teams, know how to shape strategy with data, and can deliver solutions in conjunction with product and engineering teams.

ABOUT THE ROLE 🤹‍♀️

In this role, you will focus on the following types of problems:

• Optimize to continuous product feedback loops - you understand that data science is the practice of a continuous lifecycle of measurement, analysis, modeling, and hypothesis testing.
• Create customer segmentation and conversion propensity models that will help us understand the best ways to serve different types of users and convert them into affiliate products and services.
• Help develop the next version of Autopilot and Budgets. Ensure members have money in the right place at the right time for their near and long term goals. Warn them when they do not.
• Uncover and exploit relationships between customers’ subscriptions, purchase, and transaction data to better deliver personalized product experiences and power ever more accurate customer segmentation, propensity, and ad targeting models.
• Design and conduct experiments to estimate the impact of new products, customer messaging, and marketing.
• Work alongside our product and marketing teams to understand our members’ product usage, predict our customers’ lifetime value, and estimate user retention.
• In collaboration with engineering, product, and design teams, work to implement new user-facing features and experiences. Use your expertise in ML system and model design to delight our customers with new user experiences.

Regardless of the challenges you dive into, you will:

• Become a subject matter expert in your area of specialty and be responsible for leading projects from start to finish - making key decisions on both implementation and scope while balancing technical and business goals.
• Work collaboratively in cross-functional teams to deliver new products and services.
• Become an expert on our members. Understand their needs and financial goals. Work with product and engineering teams to build features that help our members build better financial lives.
• Use your expertise in ML system and model design to aid product delivery, both internal and external.
• Be a steward of good instrumentation and experimental design - designing analyses, models, and products in a way that is measurable, testable, repeatable, and robust. You will advocate for experimental approaches in everything that we do.
• Build internal tooling that improves the data science and ML implementation - help accelerate the work of others.
• Maintain a high technical bar - participate in code reviews, contribute to product and technical design, maintain a high degree of quality in our production data, and mentor junior team members.

ABOUT YOU 🦄

• You are a team player - collaboration and communication are a first instinct and key tool for getting stuff done. You continually seek feedback on your work.

• You embrace the player/coach mindset. You take care to mentor and develop others when leading projects. You’ve helped junior data scientists grow in their careers.
• You care just as much about why you're solving a problem as the solution. You always want a deep understanding of context and business impact. You are a data scientist first but an expert business analyst when necessary.
• Deep experience in one or more of the following in a professional capacity: customer modeling/segmentation, time series modeling, natural language processing and classification, design of experiments, machine learning applied to consumer products, building generative AI applications in consumer software.
• You find yourself building tools to help others solve their problems and follow a philosophy of continuous improvement and automation.
