The Wealthfront Data Science team utilizes our rich financial and behavioral data to influence Marketing, Product and information security decisions. The team draws from backgrounds in Computer Science, Natural Sciences, Statistics, Operations Research, Economics and Finance. The Data Scientist in this role will be primarily embedded within Wealthfront's Marketing team. The Marketing team aims to acquire new clients and increase awareness of Wealthfront's brand and products among potential customers. The team addresses these goals by designing and executing targeted advertising campaigns for Wealthfront products. The potential set of projects for this role includes (but is not limited to) campaign performance analysis, paths to conversion, incrementality estimation, media mix modeling, client segmentation, AB Experiment design and client revenue modeling. A key desired trait for this role is an advanced ability to reduce business problems to mathematical language and communicate results to the broader team. An ideal candidate will also act as a mentor to junior team members and demonstrate an ability to explain technical concepts in a simple language.

Here at Wealthfront, our mission is to create a financial system that favors people, not institutions. We do this by leveraging technology to build powerful, low-cost, and easy-to-use financial products that help modern investors grow and manage their money. We started with the ambition to transform the investment advisory business. By automating strategies typically reserved for the wealthy, we unlocked access to high quality investment advice for a digitally-native generation that was underserved by traditional institutions. Since then, we've expanded to a full suite of products designed to help our clients turn their savings into long-term wealth, including: • A Cash Account that, through our partner banks, offers one of the highest annual percentage yields on uninvested cash in the industry, while providing instant and secure access to your money with no account fees and a full suite of checking features. • A zero-commission Stock Investing Account with 50+ handpicked collections that help DIY investors discover new companies and make smarter investing decisions. • Multiple automated investing portfolios designed to unlock tax savings through sophisticated strategies like fixed income, tax-loss harvesting, and direct indexing—which we offer at industry-leading low costs and accessible minimums.
