  • Drive continuous improvements in tracking and data quality; lead deep-dive analyses to understand product performance and address key strategic questions across content and consumer experience initiatives.
  • Provide a unique opportunity to influence product direction by uncovering foundational insights into how consumers engage with visual content, media assets, and emerging product experiences through descriptive, statistical, and predictive analytics.
What You'll Bring
  • BS in computer science, statistics, mathematics, operations research, or related fields, and 5+ years of relevant experience in data science, machine learning, or applied statistics, with a strong background in product analytics or experimentation.
  • Extensive technical skills—proficiency in SQL, Python, Tableau, and Amplitude (or similar analytics tools).
  • Experience with AI-enabled tools (e.g., Streamlit, Claude/MCP, n8n, Windsurf) is a must.
  • Ability to create ETL pipelines using dbt and Airflow.
  • Strong creative thinking and problem-solving skills—passion for tackling complex analytical problems, improving user experience, and driving measurable impact.
  • Excellent communication skills—ability to articulate insights from data, statistical, or ML concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with A/B testing and causal inference methods (e.g., difference-in-differences, synthetic control, propensity score matching)
  • Experience with content analytics, media quality measurement, or marketplace analytics—including measurement frameworks for visual or spatial content.
  • Familiarity with partner ecosystem analytics, coverage metrics, or two-sided marketplace dynamics.
  • Experience with LLM APIs (e.g., Claude, OpenAI, or similar) for analytical or data product tasks.
  • Master's or Ph.D. in a quantitative field.
