About the Team

At Stitch Fix, our data science team combines machine learning with expert human judgment to generate innovative recommendations and insights that transform how our clients discover what they love. We believe in a curiosity-driven culture where members have the autonomy to deliver impact through end-to-end, full-stack product development and ownership. The diversity of the problems that we work on and the data-rich environment of our business make it possible, even essential, to bring the tools of multiple disciplines to bear on our hardest problems.

The Styling Algos team uses personalization algorithms to achieve two main goals:
1. Enhance the client experience by making it feel uniquely tailored to each individual.
2. Develop systems that empower our talented stylists to provide exceptional service to our clients.

One of our primary objectives is to consistently enhance the quality of these assortments across aspects such as seasonality, diversity, and freshness. The Styling Algos team is dedicated to not only providing personalized recommendations to our clients but also optimizing our stylists' effectiveness in their roles. This position plays a pivotal role in directly influencing our business's overall success, offering a distinctive opportunity to collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Strategy, Product, Merchandising, Marketing, and Engineering stakeholders.
