About The Role

We’re looking for a Data Scientist to join our growing data team and help transform raw, messy datasets into structured, useful data products that drive both internal insights and customer-facing features.

You’ll work closely with data engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders to improve the quality, consistency, and usability of our data—primarily in our warehouse (BigQuery). You’ll help design and implement data cleaning and transformation pipelines, define canonical datasets, and explore creative approaches to scaling how we prepare and deliver insights.

This is a great role for someone who enjoys working across messy real-world data, is comfortable collaborating cross-functionally, and wants to see their work show up directly in product and in thought leadership.

• Create and maintain curated datasets that power dashboards, analytics, and in-product experiences.
• Partner with domain experts, engineers, analysts, and product managers to understand data needs and shape solutions that work at scale.
• Apply statistical, rules-based, or ML-driven methods to improve data quality and automate transformation where possible.
• Build new product features that leverage our data, such as recommendations models and data insights
• Identify and address inconsistencies, ambiguities, and edge cases in compensation and HR datasets.
• Contribute to internal data standards, documentation, and data catalog efforts.
• Support downstream product and integration work by ensuring data is reliable and well-defined.
  
  

About You

• Experience in data science, analytics engineering, or a related field, preference for production environments
• Strong proficiency in SQL and Python, particularly for data wrangling and transformation.
• Experience working with large, complex datasets in a modern data warehouse (BigQuery a strong plus).
• Comfortable exploring imperfect data, identifying anomalies, and proposing solutions.
• Skilled at collaborating with both technical and non-technical partners to shape data solutions.
• Curious and creative—you’re excited to try new approaches to make data more useful.
• Familiarity with compensation or HR data is a plus
• Interest in supporting future use cases in product integrations or AI-enhanced data workflows.
