About The Role...
We’re looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our Data Science & Analytics team. You will be responsible for understanding how changes in our most granular metrics impact our top-line business performance, then concisely communicating those insights to senior company leaders.

- Lead analytics solutions end-to-end, including project management, data gathering and manipulation, modeling, problem-solving, and communication of insights and recommendations.
- Build engaging and informative dashboards using visualization tools (e.g., Sigma, Tableau, Plotly), and use these tools to analyze trends and make recommendations.
- Run periodic business reviews to keep senior leadership updated on how the company is operating from a bottoms-up view, and perform deep-dive analyses to understand the underlying causes.
- Use business review insights to pinpoint growth opportunities, then drive that growth via product experiments and changes.
- Mentor and guide junior data scientists in developing their analytical skills and communication.
You Have...
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., Data Science, Economics, Business Analytics, Information Systems).
- 5+ years of experience in data science, business intelligence, or related roles.
- Experience in programming (e.g., Python, R) to extract, transform, clean, and analyze large amounts of data.
- Advanced SQL skills to build datasets that enable ad-hoc analyses and efficient visualization.
- Expertise in data visualization tools such as Sigma, Tableau, or Looker for full-stack data analysis, insight synthesis, and presentation.
- Outstanding problem-solving abilities and the capacity to distill complex data into concise explanations and actionable insights.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical partners.
- Able to relocate to and work in our New York or Pittsburgh office.
Exceptional Candidates Will Have...
- Master's degree in data science, economics, statistics, or an equivalent quantitative field
- Experience managing, analyzing and communicating results to senior leadership

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
