Staff Data Scientist, Causal Inference

Intuit • Mountain View, CA • 58min ago

Overview

TurboTax is investing heavily in how we use experimentation and causal inference to guide decisions across marketing, product, and business strategy. We are expanding our Decision Science Team and hiring a Staff Data Scientist to define the next generation of scientific rigor, experimentation systems, and measurement capabilities at scale.

In this role, you will sit at the center of our most important decisions - shaping how we design experiments, develop causal methods, and build the systems that make best practices repeatable across the organization. You will pair deep econometric expertise with a builder mindset, transforming cutting-edge science into durable, widely adopted capabilities.

You will also lead the development of causal measurement frameworks for emerging agentic AI technologies -- ensuring we understand how AI-driven systems behave, how they influence customer outcomes, and how we attribute impact in increasingly automated experiences.

This is a rare opportunity to define the scientific foundation, tooling, and strategic direction for a major consumer business that reaches millions of customers.

Responsibilities

Lead experimentation innovation and systems

Build and scale experimentation best practices across TurboTax -- including post-stratification, diagnostics, and consistent test read quality.

Design the workflows, tooling, and systems that make high-quality experimentation repeatable and easy for partner teams.

Partner with engineering to operationalize these capabilities in platforms and pipelines.
Set the scientific bar for causal inference

Define the gold standard for causal inference methods across TurboTax and Intuit.

Guide and mentor economists and data scientists on study design, rigor, and interpretation.

Drive adoption of modern econometric and causal ML methods where they generate real business impact.
Advance causal inference for agentic AI

Develop frameworks to measure how AI agents behave, learn, and affect customer outcomes.

Build causal attribution methods tailored for complex, AI-driven systems with feedback loops.

Partner with product and AI teams to define the roadmap for trustworthy agentic AI measurement.
Deliver high-impact scientific work

Identify quasi-experimental opportunities and deliver analyses that drive clear business decisions.

Shape the Decision Science roadmap with a focus on scalable capabilities and material business value.

Anticipate emerging measurement needs -- especially those created by AI-driven experiences -- and build solutions ahead of demand.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Statistics, Economics, or a related quantitative field. Master's or PhD preferred.

5+ years applying statistical and econometric methods to real decision-making @contexts.

Deep expertise in causal inference (e.g., synthetic controls, RDD, IV, DiD, and modern causal ML).

Experience designing or scaling experimentation systems, frameworks, and best practices.

Ability to bring clarity and direction to highly ambiguous problems.

Strong communication skills and executive presence.

Proficiency in SQL and Python or R.
