Job Description
Role Overview
As a Hybrid Data Scientist you will sit at the intersection of high-scale data pipelining and advanced statistical methodology.



You will be responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of Incremental Reach and Audience Measurement products—from architecting Python-based data pipelines to implementing sophisticated Bayesian and Machine Learning models that quantify the lift of Digital media over a Linear TV baseline.

Key Responsibilities
- Advanced Statistical Modeling (The "Science" Side)
- Incremental Reach Frameworks: * Small-N Datasets: Implement Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) to cycle through regression combinations, providing robust coefficients and credible intervals when study data is limited.
- Large-Scale Prediction: Deploy Gradient Boosted Regression Trees (GBM) to identify non-linear patterns and rank the impact of "Reach Drivers" (Media Weight, On-Target %, Frequency).
- Audience Deduplication: Use Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) models to estimate unique audience reach across fragmented platforms by reconciling census and panel data.
- Additional Frameworks:
- Mixed-Effect Models: Use Hierarchical/Multilevel modeling to account for nested data (e.g., campaigns nested within specific industry verticals).
- Causal Lift: Apply Synthetic Control Methods to measure incremental sh
