• Build and maintain robust dashboards and reporting tools using modern data‑visualization frameworks, ensuring stakeholders can access reliable insights on demand.
• Develop reusable analytical pipelines in SQL and Python that automate data extraction, transformation, and model evaluation.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with engineers, designers, product managers, and senior leadership to communicate findings and recommend data‑backed actions.
• Mentor junior analysts and contribute to a culture of continuous learning and experimentation within the analytics team.
• Stay ahead of industry trends in natural language processing (NLP), large language models, and generative AI to inform product strategy.

Essential Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of experience in a quantitative role tackling ambiguous problems, preferably as a data scientist or product analyst at a fast‑growing tech company or research organization.
• Proven track record of designing, executing, and interpreting rigorous experiments (A/B tests) with clear hypotheses and actionable recommendations.
• Advanced proficiency in SQL for data extraction and Python (pandas, NumPy, SciPy, scikit‑learn) for analysis, modeling, and automation.
• Experience defining and operationalizing new product and feature‑level metrics without existing infrastructure.
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to translate complex analytical concepts into clear, business‑focused narratives for product leaders and executives.
• Strong collaborative mindset and a demonstrated ability to work effectively with cross‑functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications & Nice‑to‑Have Skills

• Hands‑on experience with natural language processing (NLP), large language models, or generative AI research.
• Solid software engineering foundation, including version control (Git) and the ability to run simulations and model variations at scale.
• Background in mixed‑methods research—combining quantitative analysis with qualitative approaches such as user interviews, surveys, or UX research.
• Familiarity with modern data‑visualization tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau, Power BI) and dashboarding frameworks (e.g., Streamlit, Dash).
• Experience working in a remote‑first or distributed team environment, demonstrating self‑motivation and strong time‑management skills.
