You will ensure analytics are structured cleanly to power diverse product surfaces, ranging from interactive dashboards to LLM-driven applications. • Infrastructure & Performance Optimization: Partner closely with Data Engineering to optimize code performance and scale analytical workflows. You will help transition complex statistical calculations from standard database queries into efficient, production-grade cloud compute architectures. You Are Likely To Succeed If: • Experience: 4–5 years of professional data science experience. 2-3 years of experience with an advanced degree. • Education: Bachelor’s degree in a highly quantitative field (Statistics, Economics, Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related discipline).
