“It's encouraging to work on projects that are heavily customer-centric. This work not only involves inventing new AI technologies and publishing papers and patents, but also developing scalable models that generate genealogical hints and making meaningful discoveries that are impacting our customers' lives.”
- Gopalkrishna Veni, Senior Data Scientist
“I've never felt stuck at Ancestry. There is always a new problem to solve, new responsibility to take on, and new intelligent people to work with. I love working at a place where the mission every day is to connect people to their families, past and present.”
- Ross Curtis, Sr. Manager, Computational Genomics
“I joined AncestryProGenealogists in 2019 as a Research Manager and experienced career growth in under two years into a Research Team Manager position. In my current role, I've focused on hiring top-quality research staff and expanding our line of business that provides genealogical services to legal professionals. I was supported in leading the special project that culminated in the formation of my team and have felt empowered to make strategic business decisions as the team continues to grow.”
- Deena Darst, Research Team Manager, Heir Research
“I love how innovative Ancestry is. We constantly search for new ways to think about accessibility, purpose, and meaningfulness. On my team, each year we host innovation summits with the winning projects being implemented. This is crucial because even if our ideas cannot be implemented, encouraging ideation shows our employees that they and their ideas are valued.”
- Christophe Landry, Research Team Manager
“Ancestry has helped me to become a relentless problem solver, a leader over large scale projects and has helped me to develop a spirit of craftsmanship! I'm a better person after working here.”
- Christopher Pigg, Development Director
“I was drawn to Ancestry by our opportunity to use the information encoded in our DNA, which is simultaneously central to who we are and completely inaccessible to us, to deliver meaningful experiences to customers. But, one of the many cool things about working on the DNA Science team is that I know what's coming down the pipe, and I can tell you that we're just scratching the surface!”
- Jenna Lang, Director of Science for AncestryDNA
“The Data Science work I'm most excited about this year is combining computer vision and natural language models to extract meaningful historical and family relation information from rich content such as newspapers and family history books to uncover the stories of our customers' ancestors.”
- Jack Reese, Principal Manager, Data Science - Computer Vision and NLP
“Being in Product, we have the unique opportunity to identify the needs of customers and provide solutions, while also contributing to business growth. With a global customer base, there are endless opportunities to be challenged and develop solutions that positively impact our customers. I find it meaningful that we're actually helping people learn about their history and form a deeper connection with themselves, their family and their past.”
