数据科学家4-互动发现
Data Scientist 4- Interactive Discovery
在Netflix，我们的使命是娱乐全世界。我们正在书写下一章——突破叙事、全球粉丝文化的边界，让不可想象成为现实。我们是一支梦想团队，痴迷于探索创意、直觉和尖端技术融合时带来的不适感与兴奋感。加入我们，成为未来的一部分。
互动发现涵盖会员主动告诉Netflix他们想要什么的方式，而不是等待推荐，它包含两个部分。第一部分是我们的搜索平台，旨在无缝融入会员的整个发现过程，由智能查询系统驱动。第二部分是会员空间与输入，旨在帮助会员从预想和计划观看特定内容，到通过“继续观看”、“我的列表”和“提醒我”等功能，在正确时刻开始观看，完成他们的发现旅程。
团队：互动发现数据科学与工程团队
互动发现数据科学与工程团队在搜索和输入方面构建数据、分析和实验策略——从搜索和GenSearch如何理解和回应会员的需求，到“继续观看”、“我的列表”和“提醒我”等功能如何帮助会员在发现过程中采取行动。我们与产品、工程、算法和消费者洞察团队紧密合作，推动各种产品功能背后的科学进步，并对自己设定高标准，因为做到正确意味着会员花更少时间搜索，更多时间观看他们喜欢的内容。
我们正在寻找一位在实验和因果推断方面有扎实背景的数据科学家，负责互动发现DSE与会员空间与输入产品团队之间的日常合作。你将设计严谨的测试，判断哪些证据足以验证一个假设，并构建测量框架，帮助整个互动发现团队更快、更有信心地推进工作。
在此职位中，你将：
- 设计并执行严格的A/B测试，评估会员空间与输入功能干预对用户体验的影响
- 在无法进行干净测试的情况下运用因果推断技术，使团队仍能在标准实验框架不适用的情况下做出自信的决策
- 协助定义并完善互动发现的实验标准和测量方法

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.
Interactive Discovery covers the ways members explicitly tell Netflix what they want, rather than waiting to be served a recommendation, and it has two components. The first one is our Search platform, which aims at seamlessly integrating with a member’s entire discovery process, powered by intelligent querying systems. The second one is Member Spaces & Inputs, which aims at enabling a member’s discovery journey from anticipating and planning to watch certain content, to tuning in at the right moment through features such as Continue Watching, My List, and Remind Me.
The Team: Interactive Discovery DSE
The Interactive Discovery Data Science & Engineering team builds the data, analytics, and experimentation strategy across Search and Inputs – from how Search and GenSearch understand and respond to what a member is looking for, to how features like Continue Watching, My List, and Remind Me help members act on their intent throughout their discovery journey. We partner closely with Product, Engineering, Algos, and Consumer Insights to advance the science behind the various product features, and hold ourselves to a high bar because getting it right means members spend less time searching and more time watching something they’ll love.
We are seeking a Data Scientist with a strong background in experimentation and causal inference to lead the day-to-day partnership between Interactive Discovery DSE and our Member Spaces & Inputs product team. You will design rigorous tests, exercise judgment on what counts as sufficient evidence to validate a hypothesis, and build the measurement frameworks that help the broader Interactive Discovery org move faster and with more confidence.
In this role, you will:
- Design and run rigorous A/B tests evaluating Member Spaces & Inputs feature interventions’ impact on user experience
- Exercise causal inference techniques when a clean test isn’t feasible, so the team can still make confident calls in situations where standard experimentation frameworks don’t apply
- Help define and evolve Interactive Discovery’s experimentation standards and measurement framework, developing a shared playbook that lets the broader team run tests with high rigor
- Own the code, data pipelines, and dataset enrichment your analyses depend on, so results are reliable and stakeholders can act on them with confidence
- Translate complex statistical findings into clear, actionable recommendations to influence product decisions and future strategy
- Set the tone for the day-to-day partnership between DSE and Member Spaces & Inputs product team, translating open-ended business needs into well-scoped data projects, sharing a data-driven opinions on roadmap and prioritization
- Build data solutions that could scale as Interactive Discovery innovates and expands into new business verticals (e.g. Live, Games)
To be successful in this role, you have:
- At least 3 years of relevant experience, with demonstrated strength in experimentation and causal inference
- Hands-on experience designing and analyzing experiments, with comfort applying causal inference and measurement techniques beyond vanilla A/B tests
- Exceptional communication skills with technical and non-technical audiences, able to influence your partners using clear actionable insights and recommendations
- Strong thought partnership, able to own direct relationships with stakeholders and build credibility through clarity and judgment
- Ability to translate ambiguous asks into clear data science solutions to influence the business
- Strong SQL and Python skills, including building dashboards and automations that improve team efficiency and surface insights
- Good judgment to balance between addressing stakeholder or test-specific needs and investing in scalable solutions to serve general use cases
- Ability to work independently, drive your own projects end-to-end, and thrive in ambiguous situations
Additionally, an exceptional candidate will have:
- Experience with algorithms as a product
- PhD/Masters degree in Statistics, Economics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field
- Familiarity with Gen AI productivity tools
