Experience with ecosystem or marketplace settings is a strong plus. * Experimentation & Causal Inference: Strong statistical rigor, experimentation design, and causal inference skills - ideally applied in complex, mediated settings where simple A/B tests don't tell the full story. * Data Foundation Expertise: Ability to contribute to the data foundation layer for AI - including table documentation, semantic layer design, data contracts, and trustworthy infrastructure for AI-enabled analysis. * AI for Analytics: Deep understanding of agentic and self-serve analytics use cases, including how to turn DS workflows into scalable, AI-enabled products. Familiarity with evaluation frameworks for AI outputs. * Technical Depth: Expert-level SQL and Python, with enough engineering fluency to work effectively across data pipelines, model outputs, and production-facing systems. * Communication & Influence: Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate technical findings into clear product and business recommendations for senior stakeholders. * Comfort with Ambiguity: Experience operating independently in zero-to-one environments - defining the problem, building the data, and owning the answer without a playbook. * Technical Leadership: Ideally, someone who can raise the bar for adjacent DS workstreams through mentorship, code review, and cross-functional partnership. * Academic Background: BS, MSc, or PhD in Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Math, or a related quantitative field. Roles that are based in an office are onsite Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with optional presence on Monday and Friday (unless otherwise noted). ## Description At Roblox, the Creator Platform team is responsible for the systems that determine how creators build, publish, earn, and thrive on the platform. As a Senior Data Scientist, you will be the primary strategic data partner across some of the most business-critical and safety-sensitive areas in the creator ecosystem - including creator reputation, publish gating, anti-abuse, rewards, data foundations, and AI enablement. This is a high-ownership, high-autonomy role. You will work across trust & safety, measurement, data infrastructure, and AI-enabled analytics - owning end-to-end problem framing, model development, and executive-facing recommendations in areas that directly shape platform integrity and creator success., * Own Creator Reputation & Publish Gating: Serve as the primary DS owner for the Creator Reputation Model and Good Standing score - ML systems that estimate creator trustworthiness and gate publishing access for new or alt accounts before they accumulate creator history. Maintain and improve the auto-approval model for DevEx requests. * Build & Maintain Anti-Abuse Models: Lead anti-abuse modeling for creator rewards and creator analytics, ensuring the integrity of creator incentive systems and identifying bad actors at scale. * Drive Creator Data Foundations: Serve as DRI for core creator data infrastructure - documenting all key creator tables, designing trustworthy data contracts, and building the semantic layers and analytical frameworks that enable reliable self-serve analysis across the team. * Enable Agentic & AI-Powered Analytics: Lead DS AI enablement for the creator org - building skills, evaluation frameworks, and scalable AI-enabled workflows that reduce analyst toil and elevate the team's analytical capacity. * Own Creator Analytics Reporting: Define top-line success metrics and own measurement for creator analytics, providing leadership with a clear, consistent view of creator health and platform performance. * Support Creator Store & Select: Provide coverage for Creator Store safety scores, store metrics, and asset usage analysis. Serve as a dedicated DS partner for Select, helping shape how we open access to early-stage creators as creator reputation becomes a core input to eligibility. * Create Zero-to-One Frameworks: Define analytical standards and measurement approaches for new, ambiguous product areas - translating complex technical systems into interpretable, movable metrics for product and engineering leadership. ## Related Videos - [Enhancing AI-based Robotics with Simulation Workflows](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/472-enhancing-ai-based-robotics-with-simulation-workflows) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
