Role
Who you are
- Senior and hands-on, with strong ownership of both execution and quality
- Deeply comfortable with data engineering and pipelines, analytical logic, and metric design
- Strong SQL, Python, spark and strong coding skills for data processing and workflowdevelopment
- Experience building production-grade or near-production analytical pipelines
- Experience documenting methods and educating stakeholders on metric definitions and analytical caveats is a plus
- Able to understand what tables mean, how they connect, and where business interpretation can go wrong
- Methodologically rigorous, with strong judgment on how to define and validate metrics
- Structured and practical: you can move from ambiguous business questions to executable analytical solutions
- Comfortable collaborating with client-facing and non-technical stakeholders, even if this is not the center of gravity of the role
- Strategic enough to improve the system, not just execute within it
- Significant experience in data science, analytics engineering, analytical product work, or a similar role in a data-rich environment
- Strong understanding of experimentation, metrics, methodology design, and analytical QA
- Experience working with large-scale behavioral, commerce, or media datasets
- We acknowledge that many candidates may not meet every single role requirement listed above. If your experience looks a little different from our requirements but you believe that you can still bring value to the role, we’d love to see your application!
What the job involves
- We are looking for a senior, strategic, and hands-on Data Scientist to lead the data and methodological backbone of Commerce Analytics and Commerce Insights at Criteo
- This person will own the analytical rigor behind the work: building and improving pipelines, understanding source tables and data dependencies, ensuring reliable execution, and defining or validating the methodologies behind key metrics and outputs
- This role is not only about producing analyses
- It is about creating trusted, scalable analytical foundations for Commerce Analytics and Insights, while staying close enough to business context to ensure the work remains relevant and useful
- Success in this role means pipelines and analytical workflows are reliable, maintainable, and trusted; metrics are clearly defined, methodologically sound, and consistently applied; and analytical outputs are accurate and resilient enough for repeated commercial use
- Data dependencies, assumptions, and limitations should be documented and understood, while manual analytical work should decrease over time as scalable solutions are introduced
- This role is not the primary owner of client orchestration or commercial project leadership
- Its center of gravity is data execution, methodological rigor, and scalable analytical foundations
- Own the data-science and analytical execution layer of Commerce Analytics and Commerce Insights
- Build, improve, and maintain data pipelines that power recurring analytics and insightgeneration
- Develop deep understanding of source tables, data lineage, business logic, and data qualityrisks
- Ensure analytical outputs are correct, consistent, and operationally reliable
- Define, document, challenge, and improve methodologies behind key metrics, cuts, andanalytical frameworks
- Partner with Solution Architect and commercial stakeholders to translate business questionsinto robust analytical approaches
- Drive the hands-on execution of analyses across commerce analytics and commerce insightsuse cases
- Create scalable approaches rather than one-off manual work whenever possible
- Investigate data issues, edge cases, or inconsistencies and resolve them with strongownership
- Contribute to documentation, process improvement, and knowledge transfer so that work canscale beyond one individual
- Help identify where automation, standardization, or better data design can improve quality and speed
- Stay close to business context so that technical execution remains aligned with client and program needs
