As the world’s largest music and audio platform, SoundCloud lets people discover and enjoy the greatest selection of music from the most diverse creator community on earth. Since launching in 2008, the platform has become renowned for its unique content and features, including the ability to share music and connect directly with artists, as well as unearth breakthrough tracks, raw demos, podcasts and more. This is made possible by an open platform that directly connects creators and their fans across the globe. Music and audio creators use SoundCloud to both share and monetise their content with a global audience, as well as receive detailed stats and feedback from the SoundCloud community.
What's next in music is first on SoundCloud. As the world’s largest open audio platform, SoundCloud is powered by a connected community of creators, listeners and curators who share, discover and influence what’s new, now and next in music and audio. We're looking for exceptional Data Scientists to join our Data Science team in either Berlin or New York.

You will be responsible for conducting behavioral analyses, designing, running and interpreting experiments, creating analytical frameworks, designing dashboards and building predictive models in order to inform decision making in a series of complex product and business problems and ultimately elevate SoundCloud’s ability to compete.
On a daily basis you will help guide decisions with quantitative insights into user behavior, content and product dynamics. Our stack includes a wide variety of technologies such as BigQuery, Python, Spark and Tableau.
Some topics you might be working on:
Explore user engagement and retention to underpin growth strategies;
Analyse A/B tests for new feature development or business model evolution;
Develop foundational analytical frameworks to optimize lifecycle management for our subscription businesses;
Work hand in hand with engineering teams to define data driven tracking for our new features.
About You
You are an experienced Data Scientist with minimum 3 years experience who excels at analytical thinking, and brings strong commercial and product intuition along with sound technical knowledge and fantastic storytelling skills.
You feel comfortable writing SQL queries and Python code and you are willing to embrace new technologies.
You have a background in a quantitative field (mathematics, computer science with strong academic record preferred) and a track record of applying statistical inference and engineering in real world data science problems (ideally in a global b2c product in the digital space). You enjoy working closely with teams and you want to make a real impact on the company, in the world of music and creative expression.

We're looking for someone to join our Anti-Abuse team as an embedded Data Scientist. You will be a member of a diverse and skilled group of Data Scientists that operate across the organisation in product teams, business intelligence and analytics.
Our Data Scientists work on a wide range of products and problems, embedded with engineering teams having direct impact on our millions of daily active users. We want people that come equipped with an open mind, creativity and a get-it-done attitude.
About the role
As a Senior Data Scientist on Anti-Abuse, you will take the lead on identifying the sources of fraud, spam and abuse and working on solving these problems in a pragmatic way using your expertise in statistics and machine learning. You will see projects through from start to finish performing research, prototyping solutions, and production deployment at scale using engineering best practices. We love specialists with deep experience, and we expect to use that experience alongside a Data Scientist’s ability to be general and tackle a wide range of problem areas. Problems in this space are often ill-defined and open so strong problem solving skills and an ability to look beyond the immediate scope of a problem are important.

Some projects you might work on include:
Bot detection
Time series anomaly detection
Fraud analysis and prevention
About You
You are a Senior Data Scientist with a curious analytical mindset, experience with software engineering, and a track record of shipping solutions at large scale. You have a broad toolkit that spans languages and runtimes, and you can get up-to-speed with new tech stacks quickly.

A Ph.D. or M.Sc. in a relevant field such as computer science or machine learning (preferred but not required)
A minimum of 3 years of experience in a full-time industry position (not academic)
A deep understanding of the lifecycle of a Data Science project, with experience in research, solution development, tuning and inspecting models, etc.
Experience with Scala, Python or similar languages that are used to ship production models and systems
Experience wrangling very large datasets by writing and maintaining data processing pipelines with Hadoop, Spark, BigQuery, Redshift, or similar
An ability to tell a story about data, to explore and reveal patterns, and to communicate to stakeholders about your discoveries and hypothesis
Worked in cross-functional teams and are able to work in multiple parts of a tech stack

SoundCloud is for everyone. Diversity and open expression are fundamental to our organization; they help us build a social platform and global community where anyone can create, discover, and share sounds. We acknowledge the challenges in our industry, and strive to develop an inclusive culture where everyone can contribute.
SoundCloud is the world's leading audio platform, allowing everyone to share and discover unique content anywhere, anytime, on the web and on mobile. We're currently seeking a product engineer with a frontend focus to support us and help us grow here in Berlin.
You have a background in web development and JavaScript, experienced with React or other Javascript application architectures. Experience in developing for the server would be desirable, for example, with Ruby, NodeJS or Scala. You have a keen interest in creating polished user interfaces by working closely with designers, and producing high quality code with an emphasis on automated testing. You are interested in solving problems that you can connect to business value, and are excited by the opportunity to work with cutting-edge browser capabilities and new technologies such as ES2015+, Typescript and React Native.
More broadly, you are a smart, engaging person who cares about solving business problems across multiple code bases and can help our team keep a robust but sustainable pace. You have the maturity and skill that comes with practical, hands-on technical experience, you understand the importance of balancing technical debt with delivery, and you have the confidence to express your opinions but the humility to learn from your experience. You have pair-programmed or have some interest in trying it. A formal computer science degree is not necessary: we're interested in your skills and attitude, not your degree.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to talk to you.
