Join us in building the future of finance. Our mission is to democratize finance for all. 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. As a Staff Data Scientist, Incentives, 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!
Job Responsibility:
Build, deploy, and iterate on predictive and causal models for incentive targeting
Design and evaluate experiments to measure incremental impact, payback, and ROI of promotional programs
Partner cross-functionally with Product, Finance, Marketing, and Engineering to inform scalable incentive strategies
Design and optimize incentive allocation algorithms under budget and policy constraints to maximize incremental impact
Monitor production systems, analyze user behavior, and propose algorithmic and policy improvements
Influence the long-term vision for growth modeling at Robinhood, including personalization and cross-sell optimization
Requirements:
7+ years of experience applying ML in production, ideally in growth, incentives, marketplace, or personalization domains
Proven track record owning models end-to-end — from design and development to deployment and iteration
