Job summary

BetterUp is seeking a Senior Data Scientist to shape how we use data to improve our products and business, serving employees at many of the world’s largest organizations. You’ll connect data across the business, build metrics, run experiments, and help define AI systems in production.

This is a builder role with an AI‑forward team where experimentation is encouraged and impact is broad. You’ll design data models, collaborate with engineering, and build predictive models to inform engagement,

Qualifications

• 5+ years in data science or analytics, preferably including B2B SaaS or enterprise products.
• Strong SQL and Python, plus experience with modern data tooling such as dbt, a cloud data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, or Databricks), and a semantic or metrics layer.
• Hands‑on experience with data modeling and defining metrics that other teams depend on.
• Solid experimentation and causal inference skills, including experiment design and power analysis.
• Experience building and deploying predictive models, with a pragmatic approach to matching model complexity to the problem.
• Experience evaluating ML or LLM‑powered systems.
• Deep fluency with AI tools and agentic coding workflows (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor).
• The ability to explain complex results clearly to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• An owner’s mindset and comfort with ambiguity, especially in 0‑to‑1 work where deciding what to measure is part of the job.

Responsibilities

• Connect data across product, partner, and business systems, building the metrics and reporting that show how our work translates into value for our enterprise customers.
• Design and maintain data models and governed metric definitions, so the same numbers show up consistently across internal analysis, customer‑facing reporting, and AI‑powered tools.
• Partner with engineering to make sure the data we collect supports reliable measurement.
• Design and analyze experiments, applying causal inference methods to measure the impact of product and business changes.
• Build predictive models for problems like engagement, retention, and customer health, and put them into use across the business.
• Build systems to evaluate AI models and tools, measuring quality, safety, and consistency over time and combining automated metrics with human review.
• Run deep dives into why metrics move, and turn the findings into clear recommendations for teams across the company and leadership.
• Build with AI as part of your daily work, including agents, LLM‑assisted analysis, and internal tools that help the team move faster.
• Take on projects across different areas of the business, such as product, sales, marketing, and finance, as new needs come up.
• Mentor other analysts and data scientists, and help shape how the team works.
