About the role
- Design, implement, and analyze A/B tests, multi-armed bandits, and quasi-experimental methods to measure the impact of product changes.
- Apply causal inference techniques (e.g., difference-in-differences, propensity score matching, synthetic control, regression discontinuity) to estimate treatment effects in non-randomized settings.
- Collaborate with product, engineering, and marketing teams to define hypotheses, success metrics, and statistical power requirements.
- Ensure rigorous statistical validity (e.g., controlling for biases, multiple testing corrections, confidence intervals).
- Develop and refine retention measurement frameworks (e.g., cohort analysis, survival analysis, churn prediction).
- Define and track core engagement metrics (DAU, WAU, MAU, rolling retention, N-day retention) and diagnose trends.
- Identify key drivers of retention through segmentation, funnel analysis, and predictive modeling.
- Work with growth teams to optimize onboarding, engagement loops, and monetization strategies.
- Build and maintain scalable data pipelines (using PySpark, SQL, or big data tools) to process and analyze large datasets.
- Develop automated dashboards and reports (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Metabase) to monitor experiment performance and retention trends.
- Ensure data quality and consistency in metric definitions across teams.
- Optimize queries and computations for performance and cost efficiency in distributed systems (e.g., Databricks, AWS EMR, GCP BigQuery).
- Partner with product managers, engineers, and marketers to translate business questions into data-driven analyses.
- Present findings and recommendations to executive stakeholders in clear, actionable formats.
- Mentor junior data scientists and analysts on best practices in experimentation and retention analytics.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or experimentation (or equivalent in academic research).
- Strong background in statistics and causal inference (hypothesis testing, Bayesian methods, experimental design).
- Hands-on experience with SQL and Python (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, StatsModels, Scikit-learn).
- Proficiency in experimentation tools (e.g., Optimizely, Statsig, Eppo, or custom in-house systems).
- Experience defining and analyzing retention metrics (DAU/WAU/MAU, cohort retention, churn).
- Familiarity with big data tools (PySpark, Hadoop, or similar distributed computing frameworks).
Benefits
- Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and additional support programs.
- The opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI with a small, mission-driven team.
- A culture that values transparency, trust, and community impact.
- Visa sponsorship available.
