Senior Data Scientist II, Monetization

What we’re building and why we’re building it.

Fetch helps people live rewarded every day, with a vision to become the rewards destination for everyone. We turn everyday activities into meaningful rewards, whether it’s grocery shopping, grabbing a quick meal, or playing a favorite mobile game. To date, we’ve awarded more than $1 billion in Fetch Points to our users.

Each day, more than 13 million receipts are submitted on Fetch, providing visibility into over $212 billion in gross merchandise value. This creates the largest retail-agnostic, SKU-level view of household spending, powering Fetch as an outcomes-based advertising platform that helps brands acquire and retain lifelong consumers.

The Fetch app is available on the App Store and Google Play, with more than 6 million five-star reviews from a highly engaged and loyal user base.

It’s not just our users who believe in Fetch: with investments from Softbank, ICONIQ, DST, Greycroft, and partnerships ranging from challenger brands to Fortune 500 companies, Fetch is reshaping how brands and consumers connect in the marketplace. When you work at Fetch, you play a vital role in a platform that drives brand loyalty and creates lifelong consumers with the power of Fetch points. User and partner success are at the heart of everything we do, and we extend that same commitment to our employees.

At Fetch, we value curiosity, adaptability, and the confidence to explore new tools, especially AI, to drive smarter, faster work. You don’t need to be an expert, but you should be ready to learn quickly and think critically. We welcome learners who move fast, challenge the status quo, and shape what’s next, with us. Ranked as one of America’s Best Startup Employers by Forbes for two years in a row, Fetch fosters a people-first culture rooted in trust, accountability, and innovation. We encourage our employees to challenge ideas, think bigger, and always bring the fun to Fetch.

Meet Fetch AI & Data

AI & Data at Fetch sit at the center of how we understand our business, make decisions, and build intelligent products. The organization operates as an integrated AI & data ecosystem, spanning multiple disciplines, including data engineering, analytics engineering, machine learning, experimentation, and data platforms, all working together to turn data into durable business and customer impact.

Teams operate in complex problem spaces where requirements evolve, tradeoffs are constant, and the right answer is rarely obvious. Success depends on strong technical judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to gather context and make informed decisions while balancing quality, performance, scalability, and responsible use.

Practitioners across this org contribute hands-on to production systems, analytical foundations, and intelligent features. You will collaborate closely with product, platform, and engineering partners, help shape standards and best practices, and ensure our AI and data capabilities scale reliably as Fetch grows.

About the Role

Fetch is built on real purchase data, shared by millions of users scanning their receipts. In Monetization, we turn that signal into products advertisers rely on: audiences built from actual shopping behavior, and measurement that shows whether a campaign changed what people bought.

As a Senior Data Scientist II, you’ll own the scientific and product roadmap for a Monetization domain, connecting first-party user monetization with our third-party data products. You’ll lead the full flywheel: informed audience creation, statistical expansion beyond Fetch’s user base, receipt-based off-platform measurement, and continuous audience improvement.

This is a hands-on product leadership role. You’ll act as owner and seller for your domain alongside Product, Engineering, Sales, and GTM, shaping what gets built, how it’s positioned, and what claims the evidence can support.

What you’ll do at Fetch

• Own the scientific and product roadmap for your domain, deciding what to build, what to sequence, and what to decline
• Set the standards for how audiences are created, evaluated, and expanded beyond Fetch users
• Make the call on reach-precision and revenue-cost trade-offs, favoring scalable products over one-off customization
• Shape how we combine receipt, partner, panel, and survey data, and decide which data investments are worth making
• Own measurement methodology for complex studies linking ad exposure to receipt-observed purchases
• Define what results can and can’t support, especially when a causal claim or generalization goes beyond the evidence
• Turn bespoke studies into repeatable products
• Build the feedback loop between audiences and measurement, with the holdouts and monitoring to trust what it tells you
• Connect first-party monetization with third-party products, including using audience insights to acquire and engage high-value users
• Lead the scientific case with Sales and GTM, from customer discovery and pilots to positioning and handling buyer objections
• Influence senior stakeholders and commercial commitments with clear, evidence-backed recommendations
• Stay hands-on in SQL, Python, statistical modeling, and causal inference
• Mentor scientists and establish methods that raise quality across the domain

In your Toolbox

• 8+ years of experience in data science, machine learning, or applied analytics, with demonstrated leadership of complex analytical products in product-driven environments
• Experience defining a scientific or data-product roadmap, and the ability to explain what you prioritized, what you declined, and why
• Experience leading cross-functional delivery with Sales, GTM, Product, and Engineering, including shaping customer pilots and defending product value directly
• A track record of building differentiated datasets or audience products from imperfect sources, with clear trade-offs on coverage, validity, and cost
• Experience with audience expansion, panel calibration, data fusion, or measurement products that held up beyond the original sample
• Ownership of complex causal measurement, including defending your assumptions under scrutiny and changing a recommendation when the evidence fell short
• Judgment on reach-precision and revenue-cost trade-offs, including recognizing when more scale reduced value
• Sustained audience or monetization gains and customer adoption, with measured outcomes used to redirect product strategy
• Evidence of influencing senior stakeholders, such as times when evidence changed a pitch, commitment, or investment
• Hands-on depth in SQL, Python, statistical modeling, and causal inference
• Experience mentoring scientists and establishing reusable methods that improved quality beyond your own work

Nice to haves

• Substantial ownership of audience, measurement, or monetization data products in advertising, retail media, market research, consumer panels, or a comparable commercial setting is strongly preferred
• Experience translating market research or quantitative social science into repeatable products and customer or commercial decisions
• A background in political science, survey methodology, econometrics, demography, or another resource-constrained quantitative field

This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US offices or remotely in the United States or any Canadian province (excluding Quebec), subject to appropriate work authorization. Canadian employment, if applicable, would be through Fetch’s Canadian Employer of Record.

Fetch may use technology tools that incorporate artificial intelligence ("AI") capabilities to support certain activities within our recruiting and hiring process:

• Reviewing and organizing applications and resumes to help our recruiting team manage high volumes of submissions, including automated review of fraud signals to identify bad actors;
• Identifying candidates whose stated qualifications and experience appear relevant to an open position;
• Scheduling and coordinating interviews with candidates;
• Generating interview summaries or notes to assist recruiters and hiring managers in their review; and
• Conducting research on open roles and candidate pools to improve the effectiveness of our recruiting practices.

Fetch does not use AI tools to make hiring decisions. All decisions regarding whether to advance a candidate, extend an offer, or decline an application are made by Fetch employees, who are predominantly members of our Talent Acquisition team and relevant Hiring Managers. AI tools serve only to assist the process of recruiting talent and to inform the human review of candidate information. In no way does Fetch allow AI systems to make, finalize, or override any employment decision.
