Who We Are
UnitedMasters is building a marketplace that connects artists, brands and fans - empowering artists to earn and grow. UnitedMasters has taken the bold step of building a music distribution service that, radically, puts artists first - disrupting the legacy music business by letting up-and-coming artists distribute their music directly to fans through streaming services while maintaining ownership of their master recording rights and up to 100% of royalties. Through the combination of UnitedMasters’ music distribution platform and its deep ties to brands, UnitedMasters enables independent artists and change-makers to grow and earn unlike any other platform.
The UnitedMasters team is made up of musicians, marketers, engineers, and storytellers with backgrounds from YouTube, SoundCloud, Pandora, Facebook, Uber, Dropbox, Complex, VICE, and more. We work hand in hand with the award-winning creative teams that forge those innovative partnerships at Translation (our in-house creative advertising agency).
We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join UnitedMasters! Please note that this is a Hybrid role: three days in office and two days remote.

- Make your partners superheroes. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams and empower partners and customers with data assets and analytic insights that shape the artist, brand and fan marketplace.
- Drive product innovation. You’ll infuse the UnitedMasters product with responsive, algorithmic insights that highlight systemic opportunities for artists to expand their influence and put themselves on the path to success.
