Ensuring the statistical rigor and validity of our products
Developing new techniques to bring value to our users
Advocating for technically-sophisticated personas in our product development process
Raising the bar for data-driven decision making within our products

Broadly, you’ll work cross-functionally with all areas of the team from engineering, design, and product.
Your core partners are the engineering team. You’ll be expected to do basic research on how features should be designed to satisfy certain statistical guarantees or performance expectations, create reference implementations or advise engineers on implementation details for production features, and occasionally get your hands dirty with production code.
