I started this job before "data scientist" was in common usage. My title was scientist. Then we hired more scientists, so I got a promotion. :)

We build systems on top of the bitly data. This involves things like algorithms for identifying spam and malware, real-time content recommendations (which you can see in http://news.me), categorical analysis, etc.

We also do a few pure research studies, like this one: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/does_your_device_change...
