Senior Data Scientist

Shaped is an API for developers to seamlessly add personalized ranking and recommendation into their products. These frictionless discovery experiences help end-users find what they want faster, and, consequently, grow conversion and engagement business metrics.

Ultimately, our goal is to make AI accessible and we see machine-learning for discovery (e.g. TikTok "For-You Page", FB "News feed" and YouTube "What to watch next") as the best place to start.

Shaped is a seed stage start-up backed by top investors (e.g. Y-Combinator, Susa Ventures, Tribe Capital etc) and executives (e.g. Google, Amazon, Uber, Dropbox etc). Our team comes from Meta, Google, Apple and Uber. We're remote but have an office in Brooklyn, New York.

Job Description
