We’re leaders in the membership space with 250,000+ active creators and over $3.5 billion paid directly to creators on our platform. Our team is building tools to optimize the creator-to-fan relationship, including native video, enhanced podcasting features, improved creation tools, and new community experiences. We’re continuing to invest heavily in building the most talented team in the Creator Economy and are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to support our mission.

This role is based in San Francisco or in New York and open to those who are able to be in-office 2 days per week on a hybrid work model.

About the Role

  • You’ll work in lock step with your cross-functional team to build product features that help creators improve their membership monetization.

  • You'll translate data into actionable insights and communicate your technical work to the data team, your cross-functional partners, executive leadership, and the rest of the company. 

  • You’ll be a cultural and technical leader on the data science team. 

About You

  • You have a wealth of experience helping product teams make great decisions with data.

  • You have experience making tradeoffs between speed and accuracy.

  • You are a SQL expert and have experience in Python or R to perform statistical analyses.

  • You have a track record of building strong relationships with product, engineering, research, and design teammates.
