I was approached for a product data scientist which sounded like a shadow data scientist who has boundaries until where they can participate in any modeling. I have applied for it hesitantly in Indeed and I was given a take home assignment of 5 questions with dataset. They have a grading system that did not qualify my work hence dropped my application. I am glad it dis not go through. I thought for myself later why did i apply to be on the sidelines.
What is a product data scientist?
It’s the best.
Am not myself, but am familiar. It's similar work, but more emphasis on testing and in-app integration. Think more JS and less analysis. You're also more likely to be working with big data tools, transactions format data, and whatever stack engineers decided to build that had analysis as a distant afterthought among requirements (if at all). Depending on how far along the product is, you may also live among unfulfilled promises of doing data science, but being used as a SWE lite.
Meta hires a lot of product data scientists I’d think.
