Key Responsibilities

Partner with engineering to improve data instrumentation, event schemas, and tracking quality at the source.
Create self-serve analytics tooling and data models so internal stakeholders can answer day-to-day questions.
Design, run, and assess A/B tests and controlled experiments while maintaining statistical validity.
Conduct deep-dive behavioral analyses, cohort performance tracking, and churn driver investigations.
Build predictive and segmentation models to anticipate user needs, flag churn risk, and identify expansion opportunities.
Translate ambiguous product questions into well-scoped technical analyses and actionable recommendations.

Requirements

Possess 3 to 5+ years of experience in a dedicated product data science or product analytics role.
Strong technical toolkit featuring advanced proficiency in SQL and Python or R for data manipulation, statistical analysis, and predictive modeling.
Deep product mindset with curiosity about user behavior beyond top-line numbers.
Hands-on experience designing and analyzing A/B tests with a firm grasp of experimental statistics.
Exceptional communication skills to translate complex data findings into clear stories for non-technical audiences.
Ability to thrive in ambiguity as a self-directed operator in a fast-paced environment.
Pragmatic approach balancing scientific rigor with startup execution speed.

Nice to Have

Experience working in a fast-moving B2B SaaS or enterprise technology environment.
Exposure to LLM-based products and associated measurement challenges like system latency, output quality, user trust, and hallucination rates.
