We’re looking for a Senior Data Scientist to help shape MNTN ’s sovereign identity data backbone powering targeting, bidding, measurement, and cross-device attribution for Performance TV marketing. In this role, you’ll develop the methodologies, models, and graph-based approaches that unify identity signals across fragmented data sources and improve the accuracy, scalability, and interpretability of identity resolution. This is a hands-on role for someone excited by large-scale data science, AI-assisted development, and deep research in graph-based entity resolution.

What you’ll do

• Design and improve graph-based approaches for identity resolution across devices, households, and identifiers which improve match quality, coverage, and stability across a rapidly changing identity landscape.
• Use Scala, Spark, SQL, and cloud-native tools to analyze large identity datasets, build models, and productionize data science workflows.
• Contribute production-grade code to shared repositories, using strong engineering practices to build clear, scalable, and maintainable systems.
• Define validation strategies and measure model performance and business impact on targeting, measurement, and attribution.
• Help shape the team’s approach to identity science and partner across Engineering, Product, and Analytics to deliver production-ready solutions.
• Leverage LLMs, AI editors (Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code), and agentic workflows to accelerate research, prototyping, documentation, testing, and iteration.
• Apply privacy-by-design principles to ensure identity science work is auditable, compliant, and aligned with governance standards.
