Data Scientist
A core value proposition of Trustpilot is Trust. We work hard to ensure that our platform has genuine content from real people with real experiences. That means eliminating fake reviews and acting on signs of suspicious behavior to protect our platform from fraudulent activity. Our Trust Data Science team’s mission is to use advanced modeling to safeguard the integrity of online reviews, and we have several cross-functional teams devoted to Trust where Data Science is integral to achieving our goals.
We are looking for a skilled Data Scientist to join our Trust team. You and your team will work within a focus area to develop, deploy, and maintain innovative models at scale, alongside a cross-functional team of software developers, product managers, ML engineers, and designers. You will have the opportunity to collaborate widely across the business including our Legal, Platform Engineering, and Data Science teams within Consumer, B2B, and Commercial.
To succeed in this role you will have proven experience in developing and deploying ML models or exceptional academic results if you are a recent graduate. You have a solid technical background, with hands-on ability in all stages of data preparation, exploration, and modeling. You must have an adaptable mindset and knowledge of the interface between data science and engineering. Experience putting solutions into production within an interdisciplinary team is a big plus, and it will be ideal if you already have experience with fraud detection algorithms for an online platform.
What you will do:
- Be hands-on in delivering the Data Science component of key strategic projects for our Trust initiatives, from building and fine-tuning language models to sequence modeling and anomaly detection to identify spurious patterns
- Develop, maintain, and deploy production-ready ML models, with tooling support from ML engineers
- Engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Help with translating business requirements into Data Science deliverables alongside the Product Manager
- Great opportunity to make a real impact on our business by applying the state of the art in Data Science
- The opportunity to work with leading data engineering technologies including Google Vertex AI tools, Google BigQuery, and AWS, and with leading Data Science tools and emerging technologies for model building and deployment
- Opportunities to develop your career in a friendly, diverse, international team and workplace
- Work within our Trust, Product, and Commercial areas to build models from data that safeguard trust, support great products, deliver insights, and transform our business processes.
Who you are:
- Experience with analytical and quantitative problem-solving using advanced statistical techniques and machine learning methods, e.g. anomaly detection, sequence modeling, classification, and semi-supervised/active learning
- Experience in building and deploying production-ready ML models at scale, and solid data engineering skills (e.g. experience with cloud technologies - we use GCP but experience with AWS or Azure will also be fine)
- Ability in Python and SQL for data manipulation, modeling, and scripting
- Experience in working with large datasets, ideally from tech platforms, e-commerce, or SaaS-type businesses. Knowledge of behavioral data and detecting misbehavior at scale is a big plus
- Knowledge of data pipelining and prior experience of cloud-based ML model deployments is a plus
- Great communication skills - both with technical colleagues and with business stakeholders
- Proven technical experience in a Data Science role, preferably in the technology sector or in a technical consultancy, or a high GPA in a relevant field of study (for recent graduates)
What’s in it for you:
- A range of flexible working options to dedicate time to what matters to you
- Competitive compensation package + bonus
- 25 days holiday per year, with an extra 5 days holiday allocated after your 1 year anniversary (prorated)
- Two (paid) volunteering days a year to spend your time giving back to the causes that matter to you and your community
- Rich learning and development opportunities are supported through the Trustpilot Academy, LinkedIn Learning, and Blinkist
- Comprehensive health package, pension, and full access to Headspace, a popular mindfulness app to promote positive mental health
- Paid parental leave
- Newly renovated central office with a laid-back vibe and constant buzz of different languages being spoken everywhere you go It’s complete with a coffee bar, canteen, and table tennis and has a wide variety of refreshments available - you can opt-in for breakfast and lunch at an affordable price
- Regular opportunities to connect and get to know your fellow Trusties, including company-wide celebrations and events, ERG activities, and team socials
- Opportunity to join the Trustpilot Social Club for a small monthly fee and attend regular social and leisure activities like go-karting, cooking classes, and escape rooms
- Employee discounts to restaurants and shops
