• Create and maintain event schemas, logging standards, and integration specs that ensure consistent, high-quality data collection.
• Align with engineers, product managers, and data scientists on KPIs, metric definitions, and experiment tracking plans.
• Validate data quality and interpretability, confirming that the events your services emit are analytics-ready.
• Build or refine lightweight data pipelines/transformations that convert raw events into usable datasets.
• Own A/B-test instrumentation, tracking setup, and initial data validation to enable rigorous experimentation.
• Analyze experiment results with the established playbook and present clear, actionable insights to stakeholders.
• Provide ad-hoc analytics support for business, product, and engineering questions using available data assets.
• Surface the datasets required to evaluate ML models and content strategy performance, flagging gaps and ensuring coverage.
• Advance attribution & forecasting frameworks and champion a data-driven culture across the Personalization domain.

Requirements

• Quantitative degree or equivalent experience in Statistics, Computer/Data Science, Mathematics, Analytics, or related field.
• 5+ years in analytics-driven roles (data analytics/engineering/science or software engineering) within consumer-facing product environments.
• Advanced SQL plus coding proficiency in languages like Python, Java, or TypeScript.
• Hands-on with large datasets & complex queries, optimizing for performance and reliability.
• Experience with event/logging pipelines (Kafka, Kinesis, Datadog, OpenTelemetry) and product-analytics platforms (Amplitude, Mixpanel, Adobe Analytics).
• Proven cross-functional collaborator with engineering, product, and data-science teams.
• Contributor to shared event taxonomies and schemas, with deep understanding of retention, conversion, engagement metrics.
• Demonstrated curiosity and continuous-learning mindset.

Bonus Requirements

• Data-visualization expertise with tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or a similar platform for building clear dashboards and storytelling visuals.
• Domain knowledge in personalization or e-commerce metrics, understanding how ranking, targeting, and conversion KPIs are defined and optimized.
• Hands-on experience with A/B-testing frameworks and statistical evaluation methods, including experiment design, power analysis, and result interpretation.

Why Join Us

You'll be part of a fast-paced, collaborative environment where your work will directly influence how we build, measure, and improve our products. You'll act as a key bridge between engineering execution and data-driven decision-making, ensuring the things we build are not only impactful -- but provably so.
