Data

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

We are building the intelligence layer that powers every major decision at Tilt. As our Lead Full Stack Data Scientist, you will architect and own this system end to end, from data infrastructure and pipelines to modelling, experimentation, and analytics. You will build and lead the team responsible for turning Tilt’s data into high-leverage product, growth, and commercial insights.

This role is both strategic and deeply hands-on. You will define what data science means at Tilt, set the long‑term direction, and ship systems that unlock instant insight across the company. In one recent project, we cut the time to insight from days to minutes. You will deliver this level of impact at scale.

• Establish a company‑wide culture of experimentation and rigorous measurement

• Represent data science in leadership and board‑level discussions

• Exceptional analytical and technical ability with a track record of high‑impact work in full‑stack data science or analytics

• Proven experience building and leading high‑performing data science teams

• Deep expertise in experimentation, statistical modelling, causal inference, and translating complex outputs into clear strategy

• Strong engineering ability across the data stack, comfortable owning systems end‑to‑end

• High bias for action and speed, with excellent product and business intuition

• Experience in fast‑paced, high‑autonomy startup environments, ideally from seed to Series B

• First‑principles thinker with strong problem‑solving instincts
