- Evaluate experiments and surface metrics that guide product decisions
- Build models to understand user behavior and predict growth
- Design data pipelines and tools that make product data more scalable and accessible

Some projects you could work on:
- Improve experimentation accuracy and velocity through new testing methodologies
- Investigate user behavior and recommend product improvements
- Build internal data infrastructure and models that support cross-functional teams
- Explore growth opportunities through KPI research and funnel analysis
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- Experience with Python (or similar scripting language) and SQL
- Solid understanding of statistical methods or data systems
- Strong problem-solving and communication skills
- Familiarity with data infrastructure concepts or large-scale data pipelines
