Job Description

Meta’s Products & Applied Research (PAR) team is where product-focused research meets real-world impact, taking breakthrough AI research and transforming it into products that reach billions. As part of Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL), we’re driving the transformation of Meta’s core experiences—across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads, and beyond—by applying cutting-edge research to real-world products at massive scale. We are looking for a Data Scientist to join our PAR organization where you will help define the experiences we build for billions of people and hundreds of millions of businesses around the world, by applying your technical skills, analytical mindset, and product intuition. In this role, you will collaborate on a wide array of product and business problems with a wide-range of cross-functional partners across Product, Engineering, Research, Data Engineering, Marketing, Sales, Finance and others. You will use data and analysis to identify and solve product development's biggest challenges. You will influence product strategy and investment decisions with data, be focused on impact, and collaborate with other teams. By joining Meta, you will become part of a world-class analytics community dedicated to skill development and career growth in analytics and beyond. Product leadership: You will use data to shape product development, quantify new opportunities, identify upcoming challenges, and ensure the products we build bring value to people, businesses, and Meta. You will help your partner teams prioritize what to build, set goals, and understand their product's ecosystem. Analytics: You will guide teams using data and insights. You will focus on developing hypotheses and employ a varied toolkit of rigorous analytical approaches, different methodologies, frameworks, and technical approaches to test them. Communication and influence: You won't simply present data, but tell data-driven stories. You will convince and influence your partners using clear insights and recommendations. You will build credibility through structure and clarity, and be a trusted strategic partner.
