Had a great time at @CODEConference, where I presented work that I did over the summer at Netflix with the (twitterless) Wenjing Zheng and Simon Ejdemyr on developing flexible methods to generalise or transport causal estimates from (likely non-representative) studies. 1/
Very excited about the rockstar lineup we’ve put together for @CODEConference this year! Since the conference is in two weeks, I figured I’d briefly let people know what is on the program in case you’re on the fence about attending (hint: you should attend). More info below 👇

Our Netflix Experimentation Platform (XP) team reimagined our analysis framework to enable our scientists to contribute directly to the platform. Here is their blog: medium.com/netflix-techblog/… The XP team will be present this year at MIT CODE 2019, GHC 2019, WiML 2019. Come say hi.

Instead of hard-coding treatments, our platform enables teams to define aspects of the product in terms of feature flags or parameters, then update them on-the-fly. Interested in helping us scale and enable adaptive experiments? jobs.netflix.com/jobs/870030

Reach me if you’re into this! “scaling new methods from working prototypes to efficient implementation on our production platforms is of primary importance, and to do so you’ll be partnering with an active mathematical engineering group” – at Los Gatos, CA
Big chance to partner with my team to move experimentation forward at Netflix > jobs.netflix.com/jobs/869264
