Hi, welcome to the opening paragraphs which are defined in Settings -> Job Site. We'll show this in a moment.
Deliveroo delivers food to hungry customers in 12 countries and over 100 cities. To ensure our continued success and international growth, we seek experienced researchers to join our interdisciplinary team whose members come from fields such as computer vision, operations research, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, behavioural economics, econometrics, physics, and civil engineering.
Senior Research Scientists at Deliveroo are specialists in advanced experimentation and data analysis techniques. You will have massive impact by driving forward our experiment design and analysis practices, and also by quickly and confidently finding actionable, business-relevant stories in rich experiment data.
As a Senior Research Scientist at Deliveroo, you will:
Bring a combination of scientific rigour, entrepreneurial thinking, and a hunger to design and analyse experiments that tell actionable stories with data
Drive our experiment design forward, finding faster, more sensitive, more interpretable designs and analyses
Be creative and pragmatic in identifying and quantifying opportunities for big impact across our business
Translate important but vague questions into testable hypotheses and then actionable answers
Work closely with engineers, product managers, user researchers, designers, and data scientists
Collaboratively take us down a path to high-quality automated experiment reporting and automation
Some examples of the problems you might tackle in your new role:
How can we run routing algorithm experiments more rapidly, given that metrics that we care about are network statistics?
How can we run experiments on rider incentives, given that riders participate in complex social networks?
Generally, how can we run fast, interpretable experiments when we have a lot of data but complex correlation structures make standard A/B designs unusable?
A new algorithm might launch and perform well in all countries except 1, and you would tell the story of why that happened
REQUIREMENTS
PhD in statistics, psychology, neuroscience, econometrics, economics, or other field focusing intensively on statistically rigorous experiment design and analysis
Entrepreneurial attitude: you care about impact and are constantly seeking the necessary conversations to ensure that you are doing the right data analysis at the right time. You see your job as making that impact, not completing tasks
Deep expertise in experimentation, including strong grasp of concepts such as hypothesis testing and standard design and analysis techniques
Ability to rapidly break complex questions into simple, testable hypotheses
Ability to communicate the results of a complex analysis in a way that makes it understandable to a non-technical audience
5+ years of research or industry experience
BENEFITS
Top-notch kit. We'll get you a shiny new Macbook, big monitor and everything else you need
Eat great food
Tech and food events with the team
Subsidised gym membership. Probably important in a food company!
