Responsibilities

Delivers increasingly complex product features that (they believe) are well-baked and bug-free. Has end-to-end responsibility on product building-blocks, or entire products, that are increasingly complex over time; contributes to common code (again, this assumes a sufficient culture on the squad to support these.) Identifies & proactively tackles technical debt before it grows to be "too large" i.e. into debt that requires significant upfront work to resolve.

Contributes consistently to regular Lunch & Learns. Provides mentorship to junior engineers and teammates via pairing, design and code reviews. Demonstrates an understanding of the business impact and business units impacted by the work completed on their squad and uses that understanding to drive requirements that take into account all parties' needs. Consistently exhibits empathy for the user of the software being built and uses that as a guide for decision-making. Takes initiative to identify and solve high-impact ("important") problems, coordinating with others on cross-cutting technical issues. Helps set the direction at the project / service level and consistently influences decision-making at the squad level. Contributes to the culture of learning at the team level by providing help when asked.

Communication: Regularly and effectively communicates technical decisions through design docs, tech talks, and internal team wiki. Practices communicating across functional groups to become better at effective cross-group communication, ultimately enabling the ability to work well with individuals and teams across different groups and with different incentive structures (e.g. product management, stakeholders, etc). Proactively identifies and vocalizes challenges with requirements for both their own work and adjacent work (for example, lack of clarity, inconsistencies, technical limitations). Strives to help teammates grow and improve as individual contributors through code reviews, documentation, technical guidance, mentoring (OR serving as a Tech Lead on a project.) Communicates industry-wide and sets team-wide best standards. Strives to sit on the model or architecture review group. Understands the tradeoffs between technical, analytical, & product needs and communicates the "best" solution that manages those tradeoffs and takes all of these needs into account. Is learning how to get buy-in on solutions to technical problems affecting their team. Proactively identifies and proposes strategies around technical problems affecting their team. Continues to actively solicit feedback, and provides helpful feedback to squad- and teammates on projects outside their core area

Software development and engineering skills: Contributes to and is able to work in other areas of their squad's or the larger team's codebase

Statistical inference and mathematical modeling: understands and makes well-reasoned design decisions and tradeoffs in their area of data science work. Demonstrates the ability to dive into current data sources with minimal to no guidance, and ideates on sources for additional data where gaps are apparent. Comfortable with inherent initial ambiguity of iterative data science cycle, and independently takes on modeling and analysis tasks. Demonstrates the ability to identify, then learn, new data processing technologies where needed. Consistently able to independently troubleshoot and resolves / debugs issues. Demonstrates knowledge of industry trends, and the team and company's infrastructure and build system (including bitbucket / git / 4D). Sought out for guidance in a specific area of statistics or machine learning, or on a building block / component of the product they are building. Anticipates potential challenges and technical issues with implementing different modeling techniques, and makes data and model implementation design decisions to avoid them. Owner of & expert on large sections of our codebase. Responsible for eliciting data science problem formulation from partner teams, and achieve agreement & alignment from them. Can be trusted to map product requirements in order to determine the algorithm / model output that needs to be built.
