The titles and summaries point to two broad clusters of work. One is product and analytics-focused: defining metrics, designing A/B experiments, analysing clickstream or user-behaviour data, and communicating findings to product and engineering partners. The Product Data Scientist at Baseten is a clear example, centring on experiment design and forecasting at an AI infrastructure company. The Staff Data Scientist, Notifications at Pinterest adds mentoring and ML recommendation work to that mix.
The other cluster leans toward modelling and systems: building and deploying machine learning models for ads ranking, bidding, and targeting at scale, as seen in the Staff Data Scientist, Ads Delivery role at Pinterest and the Senior Data Scientist at Mastercard. Google's Senior Data Scientist for GeminiApp, DeepMind blends both approaches, combining statistical modelling with executive-level stakeholder communication. Across most postings, cross-functional collaboration with product, engineering, and UX is a consistent thread.
SQL and Python appear in the large majority of these postings, and statistical knowledge and A/B testing are mentioned in well over half, making them the clearest common thread across the full set of 80. A PhD is mentioned in roughly a third of postings, and a Master's degree in rather fewer, though mentions in a description do not necessarily mean either is required. LLMs and model evaluation appear in a meaningful minority, reflecting the concentration of AI-lab employers in this sample.
The employers' own advertised ranges, for individual roles at different levels — not an average and not a market rate.
Most postings on this page specify onsite or hybrid arrangements, with fully remote roles forming a smaller portion. The onsite and hybrid split suggests that in-office presence is the norm across these employers rather than the exception. None of the postings were missing work-mode information, so the picture here is reasonably clear, though the exact hybrid cadence — how many days per week, for instance — is not stated in all cases and would need confirming with individual employers.
