Senior Data Scientist - Machine Learning

About Coda: 

Coda started with an observation: In a world full of applications, why do documents and spreadsheets still run everything? And why haven't they been meaningfully updated in over 50 years? Coda is a new doc that's familiar and flexible like the documents you're used to, but comes with building blocks you can combine to create docs as powerful as apps. It's a big product with an even bigger mission. And we need your help to spread the word! We're backed by some of the Valley's leading venture capitalists, and have assembled a world-class team across offices in San Francisco, Mountain View, and Seattle, and remote employees all over the US. In fact, all our jobs are open in any location across the US. Here's a quick overview of what we do.

About the Role: 

Coda is looking for a senior data scientist who will help us maximize the impact data has at Coda.

• Framing business problems in data, and performing analyses to provide deep insights that help guide the vision of Coda
• Identify areas to improve our data quality and gaps in our understanding of core product behavior
• Design and implement experimentation that deepen understanding of the user experience
• Discover current trends in our product and user base through designing operational metrics or building out descriptive models
• Communicate deep data insights to business partners, executives, investors, and our board of directors
• Develop new data products and methods to streamline efficiency of analyses

You may be a good fit if: 

• Advanced degree in a quantitative field or 5+ years of professional experience
• Proficient in SQL and an analytical programming language (Python preferred) and a ML/DL framework (for example, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras)
• Experience with production ML models and system — able to guide cross-functional teams from concept to production for a machine learning product.
