About Quora:

Quora’s mission is to grow and share the world’s knowledge. To do so, we have two knowledge sharing products:

• Quora: a global knowledge sharing platform with over 400M monthly unique visitors, bringing people together to share insights on various topics and providing a unique platform to learn and connect with others.

• Poe: a platform providing millions of global users with one place to chat, explore and build with a wide variety of AI language models (bots), including GPT-4, Claude 3, Gemini Pro, DALL-E 3 and more.

Behind these products are passionate, collaborative, and high-performing global teams. We have a culture rooted in transparency, idea-sharing, and experimentation that allows us to celebrate success and grow together through meaningful work.

About the Team and Role:

The Data Team is highly empowered at Quora, helping navigate complexity and influencing product and company strategy directly. Quora's outsized commitment to data is visible in everything we do, from our sophisticated experimentation processes to the backgrounds of our leaders. As a member of our team, you'll work closely with product managers, product designers, and engineers to devise appropriate measurements and metrics, design randomized controlled experiments, build visualizations, and tackle hard, open-ended problems that uncover usage patterns and opportunities for the company.

As a data scientist on monetization you will work with our ads team to make sure Quora efficiently delivers high-quality ads to the right people at the right time. You will also work with the sales team to identify growth opportunities and demonstrate effectiveness of campaigns on Quora.

Responsibilities:

• Extract actionable insights from broad, open-ended questions.

• Design and evaluate experiments to measure the impact of product changes.

• Analyze data from across the product to uncover the root causes of metric movements.

• Communicate results to cross-functional stakeholders to inform product decisions.

• Develop tools to scale and automate analyses, improving productivity across the company.

• Improve the work of other data scientists through mentorship and by bringing industry best practices to the team.

Minimum Requirements:

• Ability to be available for meetings and impromptu communication during Quora's “coordination hours” (Mon-Fri: 9am-3pm Pacific Time).

• 3+ years work experience in an analytical or quantitative role as a Data Scientist or similar title.

• Extensive experience generating insights using statistical techniques (e.g. regression, hypothesis testing).

• Demonstrated ability to clearly explain data results to cross-functional teams.

• Experience using a procedural programming language (e.g. Python, R) to manipulate, clean, and analyze data.

• Ability to exercise judgment and combine quantitative skills with intuition and common sense.

• Experience evangelizing best practices and process improvements on your team.

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience working with large data sets and distributed computing tools (e.g. Redshift, Presto).

• Experience pushing code and navigating a complex codebase.

• Active Quora and/or Poe user with curiosity about the product.

At Quora, we value diversity and inclusivity and welcome individuals from all backgrounds, including marginalized or underrepresented groups in tech, to apply for our job openings.
