• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex statistical concepts to non-technical audiences.

• 5+ years of experience building and shipping great software, including responsibilities driving prioritization, trade-offs, and timelines 

• Experience with experimentation platforms, A/B testing frameworks, or causal inference methodologies 

• Familiarity with tools such as AB Tasty, Optimizely, or custom-built experimentation platforms is a plus.

• Strong understanding of statistical concepts relevant to experimentation (p-values, confidence intervals, power analysis, etc.) and advanced experimentation techniques such as multivariate testing and multi-armed bandits

• Advanced degree in quantitative subjects (e.g. statistics, engineering, finance, math)
