Job Description

ABOUT STITCH FIX

At Stitch Fix, we're the first fashion retailer to blend expert styling, proprietary technology, and unique product to deliver a refined shopping experience. Using a blend of art and science, we deliver a deeply personalized shopping service to our customer. This novel juxtaposition-at once analytic and artistic, technical and adventurous-attracts an extraordinary collection of talented people who are both thinkers and doers. We'd love for you to join our team!

ABOUT THE TEAM

The experimentation platform team is a small, nimble group of hybrid data science / data platform / software engineers that are focused on enabling data-driven decision making throughout the company. We run the entire experimentation stack at Stitch Fix - from backend services to metrics pipelines, dashboards, and internal notification systems. We also act as an informal sounding board for proposed experiments and new experimental designs. While our main workhorse is A/B tests, we also support other testing policies such as multi-armed bandits and geo-randomized marketing campaigns. As a team, we are driven by the thrill of helping our colleagues make better decisions faster and with less friction, which directly increases the velocity of the business.

ABOUT THE ROLE

* IC position on the experimentation platform team, which is part of our algorithm-development platform team within our Algorithms organization

* There are many aspects of the platform to which you can contribute: engineering of the core golang services, JS/React frontend UIs, spark data pipelines, bandit engine, a self-service metric metadata repository, statistical computation framework, and much more!

YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE YOU WILL...

* work with different teams of data scientists and engineers, doing everything from inventory forecasting to styling recommendations to email marketing campaigns.
* work on a small team building out a critical piece of Stitch Fix's infrastructure.
* be part of a project which has high visibility across the organization, from engineers to the c-suite.

WE GET EXCITED ABOUT CANDIDATES WHO HAVE...

* 3+ years relevant experience with significant contributions.
* excellent coding and design skills in Python, Golang, and Scala (spark).
* experience designing, developing, & deploying services.
* experience designing, developing, & maintaining your own data flows.
* experience with different flavors of SQL & modeling relational tables.
* great communication skills.
* a love for working autonomously and taking ownership of projects.

YOU'LL LOVE WORKING AT STITCH FIX BECAUSE…
