## Job Description

## Responsibilities

- Act as a Strategic Thought Partner: Partner directly with Product Managers and other leaders to frame key business problems, define our measurement strategy, and guide product innovations.
- Architect Marketplace Intelligence: Build and deploy sophisticated predictive models to refine Kindred’s matching algorithms, optimizing for growth, trust and liquidity.
- Lead and Scale Experimentation: Own the end-to-end experimental framework, applying advanced causal inference to measure the ripple effects of product changes on community sentiment and marketplace health.
- Own the Full-Stack Data Lifecycle: Lead the design of robust event structures with Product Engineers and collaborate with Data Engineering to build a scalable data platform that ensures our data is \"born clean\" and ready for modeling.
- Influence and Educate: Translate complex analytical concepts into clear, actionable recommendations and effectively persuade senior stakeholders to adopt data-informed strategies.

## Requirements

- **Experience**: 8+ years of experience in a quantitative role such as data science, with a proven track record of influencing strategy at a leadership level, preferably within a consumer tech or marketplace company.
- **Full-Stack Practitioner**: Expert in SQL and Python/R, with a proven ability to move a project from a whiteboard concept to a production-grade ML model, and experience with modern data warehouses.
- **Mastery of Causal Inference and Experimental Design**: Deep experience going beyond simple A/B tests to measure product impact in networked environments where interference and spillover are present.
