Data Scientist

The Data Scientist will serve as an embedded analytical partner to product and business leaders, owning experimentation, causal inference, predictive modeling, and metric design. The role requires 5+ years of data science experience, expert SQL and Python, strong statistical foundations, and the ability to influence strategic decisions.

About the job

Responsibilities

  • Own causal inference and experimentation.
  • Design and analyze experiments, and build incrementality measurement where clean A/B tests are not possible, including propensity-score matching to estimate feature and go-to-market channel lift.
  • Define how the business is measured.
  • Shape metric trees connecting team-level metrics to company outcomes.
  • Establish success criteria for product launches.
  • Build frameworks for sizing and forecasting impact.
  • Build predictive models that focus teams on the most important priorities.
  • Root-cause anomalies and investigate nuanced behavioral questions.
  • Create analysis frameworks for questions that do not fit existing patterns.
  • Teach the organization what to focus on and what to ignore through data.
  • Partner directly with leaders, turning ambiguous strategic questions into rigorous, decision-ready analysis.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in data science, with demonstrated ownership of experimentation, causal inference, or predictive modeling.
  • Strong product and business sense, with a track record of influencing product and business decisions.
  • Strong statistical and experimentation foundations, including experiment design, effect estimation, exploratory analysis, and evaluating result reliability.
  • Expert SQL and Python skills.
  • Experience using AI tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools to accelerate analytical work.
  • Clear communication skills and the ability to influence senior stakeholders.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Snowflake, GitHub, dbt, Hex, Sigma, or Dagster.
  • Experience in product-led growth or B2B SaaS, especially usage-based pricing.
  • Experience partnering with ML engineers to productionize models.

Compensation and Benefits

  • Hybrid work arrangement.
  • Employees can work for free with world-class coaches specializing in creativity, management, and more.
