In brief

Launch Potato is hiring: Lead Data Scientist, AdTech in New York.

Duties

  • You'll build the models that decide which carrier each auto insurance shopper sees on our click wall.
  • The goal is to send every user to the carrier most likely to convert them, so carriers see our traffic convert and raise their bids.
  • You'll also own the buying models behind our media spend, which are held to ROAS.

Required profile

  • 5+ years of hands-on applied data science with measurable business impact
  • Your models drove paid media decisions: spend, bidding or ad serving. Attribution and reporting alone don't qualify.
  • You built what's on your resume and can explain it down to the loss function and architecture choice, neural network fundamentals included

Benefits

  • You own outcomes here, not tasks.
  • We measure work by impact, not activity.
  • The pace is real, and change is constant, so the people who do best turn change into opportunity instead of waiting for it to settle.
  • Feedback runs direct and lands with respect.
