About the team + role

We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world’s biggest financial problems. We’re looking for bold thinkers. Sharp problem-solvers. Builders who are wired to make an impact. Robinhood isn’t a place for complacency, it’s where ambitious people do the best work of their careers. We’re a high-performing, fast-moving team with ethics at the center of everything we do. Expectations are high, and so are the rewards.

The Incentives Data Science team sits at the intersection of Product, Marketing, Finance and Machine Learning. Our mission is to enable sustainable, data-driven growth by building modeling, measurement, and optimization systems that drive activation, retention, and revenue at scale. We partner closely with cross-functional teams across Robinhood to design, evaluate, and operationalize incentive programs that efficiently acquire, activate, and retain customers. 

As a Senior Data Scientist, ML, you will lead the end-to-end design, optimization, and evolution of Robinhood’s incentive systems. You’ll build predictive and causal ML models, design experimentation frameworks, and develop decisioning and allocation algorithms that directly influence how millions of users engage with Robinhood. This is a rare opportunity to own highly impactful ML systems while shaping incentive strategy at company scale!

This role is based in our Menlo Park, CA office, with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.
