Role Description

This is a full-time Data Scientist role with Newton Research, Inc., working from our offices in Needham, MA. You will develop production-level models and algorithms, analyze data, design experiments, and interpret results. More importantly, you will work with engineering to encode those abilities into software and train Newton to think like a data scientist. The data science team is small, so your work reaches customers quickly and your judgment shapes the product. We value self-motivated individuals who collaborate well across teams and can present and defend findings to stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Master's or PhD in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• Strong foundation in data analysis, statistical modeling, and machine learning concepts.
• Proficiency in Python, including data science libraries like pandas and scikit-learn, and writing code that ships to production.
• Strong SQL and experience working with relational databases.
• Experience with cloud data platforms such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, or Redshift.
• Ability to evaluate a model, a causal experiment, or an AI-generated analysis and identify what it measures, where it fails, and how to verify it.
• Ability to clearly explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience in media, marketing, advertising, or related industries is a strong plus.
