Senior / Lead Applied Data Scientist
100% Remote (U.S. Based Only, Select States - See Below)
About the role
Weâre looking for a product-minded, AI-native Data Scientist who operates like a mini-founderâsomeone who doesnât wait for problems to be handed to them, but instead identifies opportunities, builds solutions, and drives measurable business impact end-to-end.
Youâll own critical areas like search, recommendations, and personalization, directly influencing core marketplace metrics like Booking Conversion Rate and booking volume. Youâll partner with Product and Engineering, but you wonât depend on them to define your roadmapâyouâll create it, validate it, and ship it.
Youâll spend most of your time:
Identifying high-impact opportunities
Rapidly prototyping and experimenting (often using AI tools)
Deploying ideas into production
Measuring and iterating based on real business outcomes
If youâre someone who thinks like a PM, executes like a Data Scientist, and uses AI to move 10x faster than traditional teamsâthis role is for you.
What youâll do
End-to-end ownership of Search, Recommendations, and Personalization
Improve ranking, relevance, and discovery across the marketplace
Drive measurable lift in Booking CVR, rebooking, and engagement
Your own roadmap
Identify opportunities independently (no waiting for PM direction)
Prioritize based on business impact, not technical novelty
Push ideas into live experimentation quickly
Rapid experimentation & iteration
