• Prototype foundational data pipelines and partner with the data engineering organization to elevate these into canonical sources of truth for Platform metrics

• Identify and clearly communicate potential opportunities to improve the experience of users who want to build apps in Slack

• Evangelize evidence-based decision making by partnering with key decision makers and driving general accessibility of data and insights

• Organize disparate facts and analyses into a coherent narrative that evaluate the success of and influence product strategy

What you should have

• 4+ years of data science or engineering experience doing data science or quantitative analysis, with preferred experience in settings with multiple consumer user types, such as a marketplace or productivity or collaboration tools. 

• An advanced degree (MS, PhD) in a quantitative field (e.g. Computer Science, Economics, Physics) a plus

• Expertise in at least one programming language for data analysis (e.g. Python, R, Scala)

• Experience working with data technologies that allow analysis of large amounts of data (e.g. Spark, Presto, Hive, Hadoop, etc). Familiarity with Apache Airflow is a plus.

• Comfortable and skilled at written and verbal communication to varied audiences

• Experience collaborating with and influencing cross functional partners

• Experience in building advanced data pipelines and designing data scheme and table infrastructure
