DATA SCIENTIST

SummaryPosted: Weekly Hours: 40 Role Number:200567452Imagine what you can do here. Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people once couldn’t have imagined, and now, can’t imagine living without. It’s the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do.DescriptionAPPLE INC has the following available in Culver City, California. Lead statistical analysis of performance of Sports and Video content using viewership, subscription, and event-based clickstream data. Statistical analysis includes rigorously investigating viewership behavior and its correlation to subscription actions, identification of the key touchpoints in apps for driving engagement, profiling users for marketing targeting, and understanding the impact of product and content changes (For example, decisions on when to schedule games, which ones to have free vs. behind the paywall, and which users to focus on for improving engagement were all analyses that resulted in immediate action from the marketing and business teams). Analyze new feature usage to alter the product roadmap for specific features. Use statistical techniques such as causal inference, supervised learning methods including classification and forecasting (including autoregressive), and clustering to derive actionable insights and trigger business actions, including a predictive model to forecast game performance that is used to model modifications to the schedule, as well as a schedule optimizer for another league’s games that decides our schedule. Coding languages such as Python (including specialized statistical packages like Pandas, SKLearn, Matplotlib, statsmodels, and SciPy), SQL, and distributed computing technologies like Spark are all used in this analysis and modeling. Implement models and statistical analyses into production using Spark and Airflow. Work with Engineering partners to define logic for pipelines for official reporting for key business metrics both internally and for use by external partners, including royalty reporting, helping to define the pipeline logic from raw client events through sessionization and aggregation. Act as a subject matter expert on metric creation based on this data collection and be responsible for socializing these definitions and any movements in the resulting metrics. Codify downstream or custom metrics, handle engineering pipelines using Spark and Airflow to ensure that key KPIs land in business tracking dashboards on time. Analyze the impact of new content and new product features based on metrics including subscription conversion, feature usage, and deepening viewership, and design experiments where appropriate to measure impact and guide future direction of the content and product roadmaps. 40 hours/week.
