Lead Data Scientist at Apollo GraphQL

 

Whether you binge-watch a series on Netflix, plan faraway vacations from your phone, or read international news online, you’ve likely used Apollo’s technology this week. Apollo supports some of the largest GraphQL platforms in the world. 

 

We’re not looking to rest on our laurels though — we’re aiming to change how software is built. Apollo wants to empower every software team to build an amazing user experience across any number of clients, without dealing with a barrage of API endpoints. Are you with us?

 

 

We are building a best-in-class Data practice and looking for a Lead Data Scientist to partner with the Product, Finance, Growth, and Go-to-Market teams. 

 

Our work is broad and varied, influencing how our product works (e.g. understanding user needs, product friction, product adoption across multiple user personas), how our business works (forecasting key outcomes, building strategic KPIs), how our go-to-market motions operate (designing growth experiments, optimizing marketing investments, refining sales processes, and estimating causal effects), and everything in between. While we have built out a solid data warehouse, our next step is to leverage this data and drive high impact by enabling the right strategic decisions for our product, business, and users. 

 

As Lead Data Scientist at Apollo, you’ll be the pioneer in setting up our Data Science practice, being the first on the team. You’ll work closely with a specific part of the business, playing a crucial role in optimizing our systems and leveraging data to make strategic business decisions. You’ll build the systems that ensure that the company strategy, products, and user interactions make smart use of our rich data, using techniques like machine learning, statistical modeling, causal inference, optimization, experimentation, and all forms of analytics. You have the technical excellence, leadership skills, and a track record of impactful work.

 

 

You care deeply about working effectively across cross-functional teams to land outcomes. You’re fundamentally excited to be a part of building the infrastructure of the future. You have an insatiable curiosity, humility, and drive to hone your craft. You lead with a growth mindset – the work is never done and there’s something to learn from everyone. We highly encourage you to apply if you meet these minimum requirements.

At Apollo, we strive to provide competitive, market-informed compensation whilst ensuring consistency within the team in each country. We make hiring decisions based on your skills, experience, and our overall assessment of what we learned during the hiring process. In addition to the U.S. base salary range, we also provide equity and benefits. Apollo offers all U.S. employees a choice of 3 Anthem Blue Cross medical plans and California residents can also choose from an additional 2 Kaiser medical plans. Dental and Vision benefits are provided by Sun Life Financial.
