Role Overview & Description

Samba is a media intelligence company. We know what the world is watching, reading, and thinking about — in real time, at scale, across every screen. Our data exists with the consent of over a billion people, organized into the most complete picture of consumer attention ever built. The biggest brands in the world use that picture to make smarter decisions. We think it’s the most interesting data asset on the planet, because it’s the most culturally relevant.  ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for a hands-on Data Scientist to own and deliver complex measurement science and modeling work at the core of our measurement and audience sciences products.  The role requires a deep, first-principles understanding of data science and machine learning — not just the ability to apply libraries, but the ability to reason clearly about model behavior, articulate trade-offs between approaches, and make defensible methodological decisions under ambiguity. This is emphatically a coding role — you will spend the majority of your time writing production-quality Python, building and evaluating models on large-scale viewership and web data, and delivering end-to-end ML solutions. You will work closely with Data Engineering, Product, and go-to-market teams.
