  • 7+ years of industry data science experience
  • Experience effectively communicating & collaborating with non-technical stakeholders

We'll Really Swoon If You Have

  • A machine learning background with an understanding of when ML is the right tool and the subtle science of creating models that function well in the real world would be a nice to have 
  • You have excellent communication, presentation, and documentation skills with the ability to define and communicate the “big picture” to key stakeholders at various levels and technical understanding
  • Experience with Amplitude would be nice-to-have
