## Description

## Senior Data Scientist, Trust and Safety

At Epic Games, we're seeking a Senior Data Scientist to independently own and drive analytics initiatives for Family Experience (FamXP), Investigation analytics and Trust and Safety, with a focus on impacting team and product outcomes.

### Key Responsibilities

- Own and deliver end-to-end analytics projects for Family Experience and Trust & Safety that drive team outcomes and measurably influence product/org outcomes, from problem framing through impact measurement; can range from telemetry implementation to reporting to automation (from Workato to ML)

- Solve ambiguous Family Experience and Trust & Safety problems by designing analyses, evaluating options/tradeoffs, and making independent decisions that keep work moving in a dynamic environment

- Execute team and product/org strategy through analytics planning: translate strategy into metrics, roadmaps/backlogs, and clear success criteria; contribute to setting team goals

- Build and maintain production-quality metrics, dashboards, and data models that monitor safety, parental controls, and age-appropriate experiences across Epic’s ecosystem

- Drive alignment around approach and outcomes with Trust & Safety, Product, Engineering, Legal, and Policy partners across the team and organization, managing expectations and trade-offs

- Handle sensitive data related to minors and safety incidents with discretion, applying privacy/security best practices and Epic data governance requirements

- Mentor others on the team and within the product/org: share best practices, review work, and raise the bar for how analytics is done

### Requirements

- 6-10 years of demonstrated ability to own and deliver analytics projects that execute team outcomes and influence product/org outcomes

- Strong SQL skills (Python, PySpark a plus) and experience working with large-scale datasets; comfort in modern data environments (e.g., Snowflake/Databricks/Spark); familiarity with version control and workflow orchestration tools (Airflow or similar) is a plus

- Proven ability to solve ambiguous problems and make independent decisions on team projects with minimal/no oversight

- Experience turning messy data into production-quality metrics, dashboards, and data models that support operational monitoring and decision-making

- Strong judgment handling sensitive or regulated data; working knowledge of privacy/security practices and relevant compliance concepts

- Ability to execute team + product/org strategy via planning and prioritization; can translate goals into measurable outcomes and help set team goals

- Track record of driving alignment and collaboration across immediate/adjacent teams and the broader product/org

- Clear communicator who can align stakeholders through concise updates and documentation that drive decisions and action

- Evidence of mentoring others on the team/product org (coaching, reviews, raising standards)

- Domain strength in Trust & Safety and/or family experiences online (e.g., moderation, account safety, community health, fraud, or safety feature measurement)
