Help serve Google's worldwide user base of more than a billion people. Data Scientists provide quantitative support, market understanding and a strategic perspective to our partners throughout the organization. As a data-loving member of the team, you serve as an analytics expert for your partners, using numbers to help them make better decisions. You will weave stories with meaningful insight from data. You'll make critical recommendations for your fellow Googlers in Engineering and Product Management. You relish tallying up the numbers one minute and communicating your findings to a team leader the next.

Our team's mission is protecting billions of Android users from abusive applications, including malware, content abuse, impersonation, and behavioral abuse. Preventing abuse is fascinating technically and it features an adversarial scenario where we try to detect bad actors who try in turn to evade detection. Impact and success translates directly to keeping the Android ecosystem safe and protecting users from a variety of types of abuse.

Analysis will span ecosystem impact, policy compliance, review efficiency and model efficacy. You will be responsible for translating data into meaningful recommendations and, where relevant, implementing process improvements. You will work collaboratively across functions including product management, engineering, operations and program management.
