We have real estate data at a national level and work across various domains in machine learning using large-scale multi-modal property data (documents, images, text, video, 3D scans etc.). Our team also owns and maintains end-to-end production-grade large-scale machine learning infrastructure and systems serving hundreds of millions of consumers.

The Role:

  • You will design and implement advanced statistical models and machine learning algorithms to solve complex real estate problems.

  • You’ll perform comprehensive Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) to understand data structure, distributions, and anomalies, and apply feature engineering techniques—including transformation, selection, and creation—to optimize model performance.

  • You will co-create the next generation of data-driven insights for automated valuation and recommender systems.

  • Identify and implement improvements to ML models that power production-scale customer-facing experiences. 

  • You will assist other engineers and stakeholders in understanding and utilizing data science methodologies and findings at Redfin.

  • You have 5+ years of experience in data science, statistical modeling, and software engineering, including experience with open-source data science tools; experience with Recommender Systems is a plus.

  • Required Skills (4+ years of experience): Python (Scikit-learn, PyTorch, Tensorflow/Keras, NumPy, Pandas, XGBoost), SQL, A/B testing, statistical modeling, data visualization.

  • Preferred Skills: Spark, Apache Airflow, AWS (S3, DynamoDB, Lambda, Kinesis, SageMaker).

  • You communicate cross-functionally and can take a data science project from inception, research, experimentation, validation, and deployment.

  • You are passionate about inventing and applying advanced analytical and ML techniques to extract insights and solve business problems.

  • You have experience developing large-scale data applications backed by relational and non-relational databases – we utilize Kafka, Java, Python, Postgres, SQL, K8s, Jenkins, and Airflow in AWS.

  • Great communicator. You can distill a challenging problem into its essential elements, and clearly communicate your vision and findings to the team.

  • You have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or equivalent work experience.

What We Offer:
