About Tilt

We’re building the next century of shopping, making it feel human, communal, and alive again. E-commerce has spent decades optimising for clicks, stripping away the trust, joy, and connection that once made shopping meaningful.

We’ve recently raised an $18M Series A from the world’s best investors to build the next era of commerce. Now, we’re hiring elite builders to make it happen

Your Mission

As a Growth Data Scientist, you’ll own the quantitative engine behind user acquisition, engagement, and seller activation.

• Ship business-critical analyses on usage, retention and activation. Spot key signals to shape product direction
• Get curious, dive deep into our data to improve our foundational metrics

• Audit & improve data infrastructure, document data sources and build pipelines
• Own core company dashboards and refine them to make insights accessible to the full team.
• Create a shared vocabulary across products and operations (e.g., “active user,” “successful transaction,” etc.).

3+ Months

• Scale our analytics culture through education, process, and documentation. You’ll turn yourself into a multiplier
• Work closely with product and ops on growth experiments, operational bottlenecks, and behavioural insights
• Own continuous improvements to data quality, modelling, and warehouse efficiency
• Collaborate closely with leadership on strategic questions: customer segmentation, pricing experiments, expansion bets
