This role will partner with data scientists and engineers to build reliable datasets, develop analytical workflows, and translate telemetry insights into data-driven improvements to device audio experiences.

Responsibilities

• Analyze large-scale audio session and device telemetry data to identify patterns in user behavior and system adjustments.
• Develop analytical datasets and workflows that support scalable analysis and experimentation.
• Build and maintain data pipelines that transform raw telemetry into reliable analytical datasets.
• Explore opportunities for predictive or adaptive system behaviors that improve device audio experience.
• Partner with engineering and product teams to translate telemetry insights into actionable product improvements.
• Improve data accessibility and reliability through automation and internal data tooling.
• Support experimentation and data-driven decision making across audio and device interaction scenarios.

Requirements

• Experience working with telemetry, or time-series data.
• Familiarity with predictive modeling or pattern detection in large-scale data.
• Experience working with real-time or streaming data pipelines.
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools
• Proven experience working with large-scale data platforms or cloud-based data infrastructure.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex data insights into actionable recommendations.
• Experience using version control systems such as Git in collaborative environments.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Data Science, Machine Learning, Data Engineering, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.
• 3+ years of full-time professional experience in data science, data engineering, or machine learning related roles.
• Strong programming skills in Python for data analysis, scripting, and automation.
• Advanced SQL skills for querying and analyzing large-scale datasets.
• Experience building or maintaining data pipelines and ETL/ELT workflows.
• Experience working with large-scale or distributed data processing frameworks (e.g., Apache Spark).
• Solid understanding of data modeling, data quality, and analytical dataset development.
• Proven work experience with applying statistical analysis or machine learning techniques to behavioral datasets.
• Pay & Benefits
