TL;DR

Join our dynamic team as a Data & Applied Scientist II, where you will play a crucial hands-on role in shaping product and business decisions through rigorous experimentation and data-driven insights. You will design and analyze A/B tests from hypothesis formulation to final decision-making, ensuring clear communication of results with an emphasis on practical application rather than mere reporting. Utilizing AI tools to enhance analysis and insight generation while maintaining statistical rigor, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to influence product direction based on data-driven evidence. This role requires a strong background in applied statistics, proficiency in SQL and Python or R, and the ability to work with imperfect real-world data. Ideal candidates have experience in experimentation design, AI-assisted analytics, and effective communication of complex analytical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
