hybrid🇺🇸USSan Francisco, USsenior

Recruiter Fit Breakdown & Candid Summary

1

This role is for an experienced applied researcher or data scientist specializing in algorithmic fairness, psychometrics, and high-stakes decision systems.

2

The ideal candidate bridges the gap between technical model evaluation and organizational talent processes, requiring both statistical rigor and the ability to influence senior leadership.

3

This is not a generalist data science role; it requires deep expertise in measurement validity, adverse-impact analysis, and the nuances of human-AI interaction.

4

Candidates without a strong background in formal fairness metrics or psychometric validation are unlikely to be successful.

Role Responsibilities

  • 1Define and lead fairness and bias-testing strategies for AI-assisted People processes and decision-support systems.
  • 2Design rigorous algorithmic audits, including adverse-impact analysis, subgroup evaluation, and measurement invariance studies.
  • 3Evaluate end-to-end human-AI decision systems, analyzing model outputs, user behavior, and human oversight.
  • 4Develop scalable fairness-evaluation infrastructure, including automated validation pipelines and reusable datasets.
  • 5Partner with cross-functional teams (Legal, Privacy, Engineering) to recommend and implement bias mitigations.
  • 6Translate complex research findings into actionable narratives for senior leadership.
