Data Scientist

Who we are Melotech is revolutionizing media and entertainment. We create art through technology for humans to enjoy. In just 24 months, our work has been heard, watched and loved for over 4 billion minutes worldwide.

Founded by entrepreneur and investor Soheil Mirpour, we are backed by top VCs Cherry Ventures, Speedinvest and GFC, alongside world-class angels from firms such as Spotify, Blackstone and KKR. What you will do Join us as our first dedicated Data Scientist to bring order to the chaos of culture.

You'll turn raw, messy data into insights to tackle the big questions: What is changing in how people find and enjoy media? Why do some bets work and others not? And where is our next opportunity? We sit on a lot of data we do not use yet, and you are the person who turns it into decisions.

You work fully autonomously alongside our founder and the team, next to a backend engineer who owns the pipelines and infrastructure, so your time goes into the questions rather than the plumbing. We will walk you through exactly what we are building as you go through the process.

On a typical day, your tasks may include: New data sources: finding and opening up new sources that help us make better decisions Trends and audiences: analyzing trends, audience behavior and performance to find the next growth opportunity, and proposing the next step Prediction: prototyping and deploying ML models on AWS for forecasting and content analysis, and checking whether they hold up in production Experiments: designing and reading A/B tests, holdouts and spend experiments across our products and campaigns, and telling the team where the next dollar should go Numbers people trust: owning the dashboards and reports leadership runs on, and investigating what really drives a metric when it moves AI-native workflows: using LLMs and agentic coding tools to accelerate data cleaning, analysis and reporting Who you are We look for battle-tested data scientists who understand that real impact comes
