Now, with more than 225 million people around the world using our products each month, we’re shaping the next 25 years of technology.

About this team and role:

As a Data Scientist embedded in the Advertising Organization, you will work with a group of data and non-data Mozillians responsible for understanding and driving the future of the internet.

• Help define and implement the statistical approaches and algorithms to power novel advertising technologies and improve marketplace dynamics
• Generate data-informed insights and communicate these to partners and team members to influence decision making within the Advertising team, and across numerous senior forums at Mozilla.
• Apply a number of analytical and engineering skills to support data collection and build key data artifacts (dashboards, derived tables, analyses, and models) to take on ambiguity through operational and exploratory quantitative analyses.
• Design interventions and experiments to support feature development, and develop statistically sound models to measure impact. Collaborate with other data scientists to develop and operationalize consistent approaches to metrics and measurement.
• Strengthen the wider data team through mentorship, technical methods, analytical frameworks, and improvements in how we work.

• You have excellent command of one or more SQL dialects, one or more OOP-heavy languages (Python is preferred). You have excellent knowledge of software design principles and take pride in your ability to write quasi-production code. Exposure to business intelligence tools (especially Looker) is a plus. You also possess a strong desire to gain further technical experience on the job.
• You lead with empathy and ownership. You value teamwork and teammates. You are invested in knowledge sharing and learning from others. You contribute positively and meaningfully to cultivate an inclusive and equitable team culture.
• You take partner needs into account, bridging methodology and data into meaningful strategy and actions from your analyses. You are a communicator who crafts impactful data narratives that inform company decisions around product, business, and finance.
• You believe contributing to a collaborative and open team culture is an important responsibility, empowering others to do the same, while pushing forward through circumstances with candor and respect.
