About Apollo

Whether you binge-watch a series on Netflix, plan faraway vacations from your phone, or read international news online, you’ve likely used Apollo’s technology this week. Apollo supports some of the largest GraphQL platforms in the world. 

We’re not looking to rest on our laurels though — we’re aiming to change how software is built. Apollo wants to empower every software team to build an amazing user experience across any number of clients, without dealing with a barrage of API endpoints. Are you with us?

About the team

We are building a best-in-class Data practice and looking for a Lead Data Scientist to partner with the Product, Finance, Growth, and Go-to-Market teams. 

Our work is broad and varied, influencing how our product works (e.g. understanding user needs, product friction, product adoption across multiple user personas), how our business works (forecasting key outcomes, building strategic KPIs), how our go-to-market motions operate (designing growth experiments, optimizing marketing investments, refining sales processes, and estimating causal effects), and everything in between. While we have built out a solid data warehouse, our next step is to leverage this data and drive high impact by enabling the right strategic decisions for our product, business, and users. 

As Lead Data Scientist at Apollo, you’ll be the pioneer in setting up our Data Science practice, being the first on the team. You’ll work closely with a specific part of the business, playing a crucial role in optimizing our systems and leveraging data to make strategic business decisions. You’ll build the systems that ensure that the company strategy, products, and user interactions make smart use of our rich data, using techniques like machine learning, statistical modeling, causal inference, optimization, experimentation, and all forms of analytics. You have the technical excellence, leadership skills, and a track record of impactful work.

Who you are

Assume hands-on leadership, especially when helping teams set their long-term vision and resolve complex problems through iterative execution.
  • [Project management]: Proficient in planning projects, managing requirements across key stakeholders, and ensuring ethical data practices. 
  • [Collaboration]: Working with the executive team, and key cross-functional stakeholders to identify opportunities and implement models to influence the org effectively. 
  • [Communication]: Presenting findings to stakeholders and communicating complex insights to non-technical audiences.

Minimum requirements

  • ~10 years of data science/quantitative modeling experience to solve business and product problems; proficiency in SQL and a computing language such as Python or R
  • Strong knowledge and hands-on experience in several of the following areas: machine learning, statistics, optimization, product analytics, causal inference, and/or experimentation
  • Demonstrated experience of leading organization-wide initiatives spanning multiple teams, or leveraging deep domain and business expertise to influence tech roadmap planning and execution
  • Ability to communicate results clearly with a focus on driving impact
  • Demonstrated ability to effectively collaborate across multiple teams and stakeholders to drive business outcomes
  • Demonstrated ability to balance execution and velocity with research, statistical depth, and scalable design.
  • A builder's mindset with a willingness to question assumptions and conventional wisdom
  • May be required to participate in on-call rotation

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience designing, running, and analyzing complex experiments or leveraging causal inference designs
  • Experience working in Growth on problems like attribution, channel performance optimization, CAC optimization and experimentation.
  • Experience with distributed tools such as Spark, Hadoop, etc.
  • A PhD or MS in a quantitative field (e.g., Statistics, Engineering, Mathematics, Economics, Quantitative Finance, Sciences, Operations Research)Experience developing and deploying metric frameworks

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
