Sr. Data Scientist

Job Description:

Interviews: Live Technical Hands On

About the Role

Were looking for a Data Scientist to join a team focused on advertising inventory modeling and capacity forecasting for clients subscriber base. This team builds models that match commercials and ads to subscriber profiles based on viewing behavior identifies gaps in that targeting and works to fill them through marketing data. A core part of the role is forecasting available advertising capacity balancing sold vs. unsold airtime and understanding the difference between acquired inventory and Spectrums own inventory as well as true demand vs. true capacity.

The team works with a blend of clients proprietary subscriber data and third-party data sources. Notably data from Cox previously treated as third-party became first-party data as of a recent company merger and this shift is actively being incorporated into forecasting models.

This is a great opportunity for a data scientist who enjoys applied modeling work with real business impact in a fully cloud-based environment.

What Youll Do

Build and maintain models that align advertising inventory with subscriber viewing profiles

Forecast advertising capacity including sold vs. unsold airtime and acquired vs. owned (Spectrum) inventory

Work with both first-party (Charter and now Cox) and third-party data sources

Incorporate newly integrated first-party data (from the Cox merger) into existing forecasting models

Collaborate with a cross-functional team following established CI/CD practices

Take on light data engineering tasks as needed to support modeling work

What Were Looking For

Solid practical data science experience this is not a role requiring deep specialization or absolute expert level skills

Someone who understands what theyre doing and can work independently on modeling problems

Experience working as part of a team ideally with exposure to CI/CD processes

Comfort doing some data engineering work in support of modeling (not a pure modeling-only candidate)

Candidates from a Finance background are not a strong fit for this role

Tech Stack

Languages/Tools: Python SQL

Time series & Forecasting Experience

Data Warehouse: Snowflake (corporate data warehouse)

Cloud: AWS (fully cloud-based no on-prem infrastructure)

ML Tooling: Various data science libraries

Nice to Have: SageMaker Airflow PySpark
