Senior Data Scientist (Tumblr)

We are the company behind WordPress.com, Jetpack, Tumblr, and WooCommerce. We're looking for a Data Analyst to join our Tumblr team.

Communication with and empathy for our colleagues is a key part of this job - curiosity about the puzzles they face is a requirement. Data can be unruly: you’ll need to be prepared to face uncertainty and provide your best guess sometimes - our work is as much about cleaning and testing the legacy pipeline as it is about crafting excellent reporting and solving business problems.

AS A DATA SCIENTIST/ANALYST YOU WILL:

• Build data pipelines and reports that deliver meaningful insights to our product and business teams.
• Always be raising data quality. That includes auditing sources, documenting issues, driving resolutions together with other teams, and implementing well-documented, performant, and tested transformations.
• Perform ad hoc analyses to better understand customer behavior, needs, and individual test results.
• Summarize data and investigation through the presentation, dashboard, and other mediums.
• Partner with many other teams such as product, engineering teams to provide deep insights about business and product.
• Build and improve analytics infrastructure such as ETL pipeline, A/B testing system, and data visualization systems.

WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU IF:

• You have at least 2+ years of professional experience with SQL.
• You have at least 2+ years of commercial experience with Python.
• You have used a data flow scheduling system like Airflow.
• You have experience with a business intelligence platform: we use Looker and strongly prefer experience with that platform, but other platforms and an ability to learn can go a long way.
• It will be a plus if you have some experience with Kubernetes and Docker.
• You are comfortable working across teams to deliver analytics solutions and are familiar with common metrics for consumer products.
• You have excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
• You're able to communicate clearly with and about data to technical and non-technical partners.
• You're highly collaborative and experienced in working with business owners, executives, developers, and creatives to discuss data, strategy, and tests.
