They’re looking for a Data Science intern to help build and scale Pinterest’s approach to experimentation so they can accelerate innovation on their product. You’ll apply quantitative analysis, statistical techniques and data mining skills to understand the limitations of running hundreds of simultaneous experiments, help them draw reliable insights with a fraction of the data, enable them to simplify the interpretation of experiments, and scale the number of experiments they run at Pinterest.

What You’ll Do

• • Perform deep dive analysis to understand and optimize the key levers of their ads and search ecosystems
  • Design core metrics that serve as the North Stars for team efforts and model trade offs across product areas
  • Explore alternative experimentation techniques to help internal teams evaluate their ideas faster
  • Apply statistics, modeling, and ML to improve the efficiency of systems and relevance algorithms across Search, Home Feed, and Related Pins
  • Work with product managers and engineers to design data products and debug A/B experiments

What They’re Looking For

• Currently pursuing a MS/PhD in in statistics, math, economics, applied sciences, or computer science.
• Experience using Python, R, or SQL.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to tell a complete narrative using data.
• Ability to connect data analysis to real business problems, in order to impact business performance.
• Must be graduating December 2020 or later.
