We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward. About This Role The Data Science team at Strava works across the organization to find solutions to the highest-leverage, and often the most challenging, problems facing the business. We use machine learning, causal inference, and measurement systems to synthesize Strava’s unique data assets into models, metrics, and recommendations that our leadership team can act on with confidence. We are looking for a Data Scientist to join the Data Products team at Strava, a team at the core of Strava’s AI strategy, responsible for turning Strava's unique community and activity data into reliable, reusable, enriched datasets powering user experiences at scale. This is a strategic individual contributor role that will partner closely with a growing team of Machine Learning Engineers.

We follow a flexible hybrid model that translates to more than half of your time on-site in our San Francisco office — three days per week. What You’ll Do: - Define what "good" looks like for Strava's internal models and the ML products built on top of it, setting the evaluation frameworks, offline and online metrics, and quality bars the team steers by. - Build the measurement layer for cross-domain ML products,
