Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Senior Data Scientist role at Optimum (Altice USA, Inc.) focused on building analytical and modeling foundations for a blockchain data acceleration network using Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) to scale network speed and throughput.
• Own end-to-end methodology for causal inference, experimental design, and predictive modeling; design and evaluate experiments; partner with Product, Economics, Research, and Engineering teams to translate business questions into analytical frameworks and ensure production-ready model implementation.
• Early-stage, high-visibility role in a remote-first environment with a small, senior, cross-functional team; work at the intersection of networking infrastructure and decentralized technology where millisecond-level differences have meaningful business impact.
• Opportunity to shape methodology, influence product direction, communicate complex insights to technical and non-technical stakeholders, and build institutional knowledge through rigorous documentation and actionable reporting.

🎯 Requirements

• Postgraduate degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, Data Science, Engineering or related quantitative discipline
• Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in a data science or applied research role
• Strong foundations in causal inference and experimental design (A/B testing, quasi-experiments, diff-in-diff, IV, etc.)
• Proficiency in predictive modeling: regression, classification, time-series, and familiarity with modern ML frameworks
• Fluency in Python (pandas, scikit-learn, statsmodels) and SQL; comfort working in cloud data environments (e.g. BigQuery, Snowflake)
• Strong written and verbal communication; ability to turn a p-value into a product decision
• Familiarity with networking concepts and latency measurement; exposure to blockchain or decentralized technology and on-chain data structures

🏖️ Benefits

• Ownership from day one — define methodology, not just apply it
• Work on genuinely hard problems at the edge of networking and decentralized systems
• Close collaboration with a small, senior, cross-functional team
• Competitive compensation, equity, and flexibility
• Flexible time off
• Fully remote — work from wherever you do your best thinking with meaningful overlap with ET or CET time zones
