Senior Full-Stack Data Scientist, Client Experience Algorithms (multiple roles)

Stitch Fix is redefining retail by blending the art of fashion with the science of machine learning. Throughout the company's history, the Algorithms Organization has been a key source of our innovation and competitive differentiation.
The Client Experience Algorithms team builds the tools that power personal style, combining best-in-class models with expert human judgment. We foster a culture of ownership where Data Scientists manage the full lifecycle of their work, from research to model deployment. You’ll use multidisciplinary tools to solve complex problems in a data-rich environment, directly influencing how millions of clients discover what they love.

Client Experience Algorithms includes multiple sub-teams, two of which are hiring Senior Data Scientists. In applying, you may be considered for one or more roles with the Styling, Growth and Recommendation Algorithms teams, which will each have a direct impact on our business’ bottom line. 

The Styling Algorithms team sits directly at the interface between our technology and models, and our team of over 1500 highly-engaged stylists. We use frontier AI and industry-leading ML models to enable our front-line employees to do the right tasks, surface the right merchandise, and communicate effectively with our two million active clients. 

The Styling Algorithms role is primarily focused on the recommendation and search engines that power our styling interface. While you will collaborate closely with the Foundational Models team (who build our base embeddings), you will own the ranking logic, business logic, and deployment of our inventory surfacing models into production. You will also prototype and deploy agentic AI workflows to assist stylists in real-time.

The Growth Algorithms team is responsible for optimizing our end-to-end acquisition and retention programs, from marketing to onboarding to promotions. We leverage our rich engagement and style data to build personalization models that guide each client through their style journey with Stitch Fix over time.

The Growth Algorithms role is primarily focused on improving our owned channel personalization to deepen client engagement with our products. You will own the technical strategy that unifies the client experience across surfaces, architecting and building machine learning models that surface personalized inventory and context-aware action recommendations via email, push notifications, site experiences, and beyond. 

The Recommendation Algorithms role will contribute to building the future of personalized apparel shopping by thoughtfully combining algorithms with product innovation. A key area of focus is the continued improvement of the quality of recommended assortments along various dimensions, including seasonality, diversity, and freshness. A secondary area is the ability to deliver high-quality recommendations in real time to engage and delight new clients and therefore expand our total addressable market.
