Our B2B team is building the foundation for how organizations use Goodnotes at scale. Goodnotes is no longer just for students. We're seizing a massive market opportunity: the B2B sector.

We're talking about changing how professionals work, collaborate, and create.

The team is distributed across Europe and Asia and works with an asynchronous-first culture grounded in documentation and shared ownership. You are welcome to work remotely from anywhere, with at least four hours of overlap with your closest collaborators, or you can join us in our Hong Kong or London office.

• Technically proficient with relevant analytics tools (dbt, modern BI tools) and languages (SQL, Python or R)
• Deep expertise in designing and analyzing rigorous experiments of varying degrees of complexity. This includes mastery of A/B test design, as well as understanding of peeking techniques and multi-armed bandit.
• Ability to combine your strong business acumen with statistical expertise (e.g. confidence intervals, regression modeling, significance testing), including demonstrated experience with common machine learning techniques for deep data mining and exploration (e.g. predictive modeling, time series modeling, classification, and clustering techniques).
• Deep concern about the details and high-quality instrumentation that lead to high-quality, impactful insights.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to think critically.
• Desire to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
