Senior Data Scientist

We're looking for a talented and passionate Senior Data Scientist to join Wildlife's Marketing Tech team in São Paulo, Brazil.

Wildlife is one of the largest mobile gaming companies in the world.

We believe that our models are a core part of our edge, and we're looking for people to push them further.

As a Senior Data Scientist, you'll play a key role in sharpening that edge: how to handle data from millions of users more efficiently and effectively, how to better understand the mechanics of dozens of different channels, how to make sure we're operating thousands of campaigns the right way, among many others.

You'll be surrounded by exceptionally talented people: data scientists, engineers, and marketers who are among the best in the industry at what they do, in an environment where the bar is high, and learning happens fast.

The right person for this position is naturally curious, thrives when left to take initiative on their own, loves solving problems and puzzles, is resilient, and enjoys being in a fast and growing business.

• Experience applying appropriate statistical or machine learning techniques in different situations (e.g., causal inference, experimentation design, predictive models, etc)

• Experience working on designing and developing data-intensive applications in the cloud with technologies such as Spark, SQL, Python, Airflow, etc
