At Company, we see our 71 million reviews not only as a great source of information about the best salted caramel ice cream in SF, but also as a vast storehouse of data. You will help us use that data to connect our users with great local businesses. You will work tightly with the product and engineering team to answer questions ranging from who is more likely to like a flavor of ice cream to which experimental features move the needle... and you’ll help us define the needle. You’ll ask critical questions about our metrics and our experiments in order to wrest statistical meaning from the jaws of noise, and you’ll crunch the numbers on our existing features to help shape new products. In this role you’ll be tackling a variety of projects ranging from design and execution of A/B tests and user behavior analyses, to data-driven blog posts and product insights. As your role grows you’ll identify new analyses, scope new data-driven products and help us define new metrics and design new data driven features.
If you’re passionate about asking and answering questions in large datasets and you are able to communicate that passion to product and engineering teams, we want to hear from you!
