Who are we?

GPTZero’s mission is to restore information quality and transparency on the internet. Our team comes from high-performing engineering cultures, including Uber, Meta, Microsoft, Affirm, and leading AI research labs, including Princeton, Caltech, Vector, and MILA. We are working on novel models and pushing cutting-edge research to production, including AI detection, AI hallucination detection, retrieval augmented generation, and writing stylometry to over 3 million active users, and enterprise clients including Fortune 1000 and Unicorn AI companies. We are backed by some of the best in the valley, including Uncork, Neo, Altman Capital, and in journalism, including Mark Thompson (CEO of NYT, BBC, CNN) and Tom Glocer (CEO of Reuters) who defined a generation of quality digital information.

What we're looking for

At GPTZero, we make sure that humanity can continue to make good decisions in the world where AI-generated information is everywhere. In this role, you'll blend product analytics, business analytics, and data science to build a data-driven foundation that powers decision-making and innovation. You’ll collaborate with product, engineering, and business teams to influence strategy, optimize user experiences, and develop scalable solutions for millions of users worldwide.

What you'll contribute

1. Build our understanding of user behaviour and needs with product analytics using Pandas, Numpy, Scipy, and PySpark.
2. Write clean, efficient Python and SQL to extract insights, identify patterns, and evaluate the performance of our machine learning models.
3. Build robust, scalable pipelines to ingest, preprocess, and analyze large-scale datasets using tools like Databricks and Amplitude.
4. Collaborate with both machine learning engineers and product teams to validate datasets, interpret model outputs, and recommend improvements.

Qualifications

1. 3+ years of experience with Pandas, Numpy, and Scipy for data manipulation, visualization, and statistical analysis of complex datasets.
2. Experience with large-scale data pipelines and feature engineering (such as PySpark, BigQuery, AWS EMR, or Hive).
3. Strong storytelling ability to communicate complex findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
4. Self-starter (pitch, plan, and implement as a project owner in a fast-paced team).
5. Highly motivated to make a positive societal impact.
6. Ability to wear multiple hats and be a leader as our team grows.
7. Ability to work in Canada.

Bonus:

1. Experience with PyTorch for machine learning.
2. Experience with Databricks and Amplitude for product analytics.
3. Experience working in an early-stage startup environment.
