Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of experience in ML, data science, or data engineering (or 4+ with a PhD), with a proven track record of delivering systems at scale
- Expertise in Python and SQL, with hands-on experience building production-grade ML pipelines (e.g., Spark, Airflow, Kubeflow)
- Deep experience in one or more relevant domains: entity resolution, identity, fraud detection, attribution, or risk scoring
- Strong grasp of experimentation design, causal inference, and the ability to translate analytical work into measurable business outcomes
- Skilled at technical communication and cross-functional collaboration; able to operate in high-ambiguity, high-impact environments
- You are a curious person who can solve problems with data, combining the skills of a data scientist, statistician, and data engineer
- Bonus: experience integrating third-party commercial data or working with user graph enrichment at scale
What the job involves
- As a Staff Data Scientist on the Identity team, you will play a key leadership role in architecting and scaling Rokt’s next-generation identity systems
- This is a high-leverage opportunity to define core infrastructure, data products, and ML systems that power attribution, personalization, and targeting across our e-commerce network
- You’ll work across data, ML, and product to solve foundational challenges in entity resolution, graph enrichment, and data interoperability—ultimately shaping one of the most critical data initiatives in the company
- Design and build scalable ML systems and data pipelines for identity resolution, attribution, and real-time user matching across billions of records
- Lead end-to-end analytical projects, applying advanced ML/statistical techniques to uncover insights and drive product and revenue impact
- Define metrics, design experiments (e.g., A/B testing), and ensure observability across identity system components to monitor health and effectiveness
- Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and data stakeholders to set technical strategy and deliver business-critical improvements
- Champion best practices in ML system design, code quality, and reproducibility, while mentoring peers and raising the team’s technical bar
Our take
eCommerce marketing company Rokt is helping brands leverage the power of good timing. With Rokt, brands can present their customers with AI-curated offers and messages at every stage in their transaction, at tailored times of the day, or to market themselves at the point of transaction on other major eCommerce sites.
The idea is that “transaction moments” are when shoppers are most inclined to engage further with the brand or its products - the success of Rokt’s clients, and the runaway success of Rokt itself, show that it's successfully cracked it.
Rokt has a strong client base that includes giants like Groupon, GoDaddy, and Disney, and after hitting Unicorn status, it is eyeing up a US IPO. This should come as no surprise - the surge in eCommerce trade over recent years has led to most companies investing in tools to stay competitive.
Rokt has expanded its tool suite since it first started up, and will be focused on continuing to innovate to keep ahead of the MarTech pack, and abreast of changing demand in the rapidly shifting market. The eCommerce marketing tech sector has ballooned to a $120B global operation - Rokt is positioned comfortably to keep ahead.
