As Senior Data Scientist, Growth, you'll join a cross-functional squad to drive data-informed decision-making across the organization. You'll partner closely with engineering and design teams to improve acquisition, activation, retention, monetization, and customer experience. You'll also collaborate with marketing, finance, and operations to uncover growth opportunities and shape company priorities.
Key responsibilities include: designing and championing experimentation frameworks; defining KPIs and success metrics; conducting statistical analysis, forecasting, and causal inference to understand user behavior; identifying high-leverage growth opportunities through deep analysis of user journeys and conversion funnels; building dashboards and self-serve tools for visibility into growth metrics; and fostering a culture of evidence-based decision-making.

Strong technical skills in SQL and Python are essential, along with deep expertise in experimentation design, causal inference, statistical analysis, and KPI design. You should have strong product intuition, cross-functional collaboration experience, and the ability to operate autonomously on ambiguous projects. Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence decisions through data are critical.
