Senior AI Recommendation Experimentation Scientist

Aaliyah Okafor

Full-time · Job · Amsterdam

About the role

Our recommendation models get better every quarter. Our ability to prove it does not. Talmion Data powers personalization for news publishers and streaming apps, and our A/B tests keep running into the usual problems: network effects, novelty bias, metrics that move in opposite directions. We need a senior scientist to own experimentation methodology for recommendations. You'll introduce variance reduction, interleaving and long-term holdouts where they make sense, build tooling on Databricks so other scientists can use them, and act as the person who says no when a result looks too good. Your work will decide which models reach 40 million users.

Responsibilities

  • Own experimentation methodology for all recommendation launches
  • Introduce interleaving, CUPED and long-term holdouts with clear guidance on when to use each
  • Build reusable analysis tooling on Databricks for the wider data science group
  • Review experiment readouts and coach scientists on interpretation

Requirements

  • Deep expertise in causal inference and online experimentation
  • Experience with recommender systems or ranking in a consumer product
  • Fluent in Python or R, with Spark experience at scale
  • Confident challenging conclusions with senior stakeholders

Benefits

  • Remote within CET ±2 hours
  • Equity and annual bonus
  • €2,500 yearly learning budget
  • Pension contribution
  • Company retreat twice a year
