As an AI-forward company, adaptation and continuous learning are part of our daily work. We're looking for teammates who are excited to evolve alongside technology - people who experiment boldly, share their discoveries openly, and help define best practices for AI-augmented work. These professionals thoughtfully integrate AI into their work to deliver exceptional results while maintaining the human judgment and creativity that drives real innovation. During our interview process, you'll have opportunities to showcase how you harness AI to learn, iterate, and amplify your impact., * Architect domain-level AI reinvention: identify the highest-leverage AI opportunities in how we measure and act on data, secure the resources to test them, and install repeatable mechanisms that lock in proven gains across several teams * Build scalable AI-powered systems, from evaluation frameworks to agents and internal tools, that change how teams across the company get and use data * Lead the evaluation and integration of emerging AI technologies into our product and analytics roadmap We encourage all candidates to share examples of how they've used AI tools in their work, whether that's agentic coding, LLM-assisted analysis, or building evaluation systems. We view AI fluency as a complement to craft, not a replacement for it.
