We want you to enjoy where you work. Who you work with. What you work on. At GrubHub, you can order your cake and eat it too.
Some Challenges You’ll Tackle:
- Research, develop, and implement predictive algorithms for our real time experimentation system.
- Conceive of and develop tools to minimize risk of experimentation
- Mine experiment data for issues and unidentified wins, then automate and develop tooling around that.
- Develop one off experiments for large company initiatives and design the statistical analysis of the results.
- Bayesian statistics/probability- Experience with building simple probabilistic models, simulations, and other computational techniques to run statistical analyses for several mission-critical projects. Should also be able to package them into conceptual features available through our data intelligence services and internal code.
- Programming - Our team pushes very hard to scale through automation. Your direct reports will be the bots and services you create to do your job. You’ll also be helping to build out an API for machine learning projects we work on.
- Experiment design - You should have a deep understanding of experiment design: Control vs variations, factorial experiment design, multivariate experiments, simple random sampling vs stratified, etc.
- SQL experience - Experience in transactional and data warehouse environments using MySQL, Amazon Redshift, or other database systems. Must deeply understand joins, subqueries, window functions, etc.
- Humility - Admit when you’re wrong and make a mistake, then let’s laugh about it. You might even make our achievements board!
- Strong cross-functional communication skills - The algorithms we develop are central to how the business runs. So it's critical for you to understand the drivers of our business very deeply, and to be able to explain your approach to a wide variety of both technical and non-technical stakeholders and take input from them where appropriate.
- Autonomy - You will have an enormous amount of latitude to research and develop new techniques and algorithms to increase effectiveness of our experimentation systems and reduce risk. You should be able to use it wisely.
- 5-7 years of experience using the above skills
- Master’s in quantitative discipline or equivalent experience
- Risk analysis modeling and projections
- Experience with PyMC, BUGS, STAN, etc.
- Python
- Experience designing/building a custom A/B/n experimentation platform
- Professional software engineering background.
- Informal understanding of data structures and computational complexity.
- Understanding of Frequentist/Classic statistics
- You know how to sell an idea to a large group of people. Internal PR is important.
