Staff Data Scientist, Discovery and Recommendations

San Francisco, CA New York, NY
Machine Learning SQL Python R
Description

Patreon is a media and community platform where creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. Over 300k creators are cultivating fandoms and building their businesses each month. Creators can offer free memberships to fans looking to explore more of their work, paid memberships to give access to exclusive media and community, or sell directly to fans with Shops.

Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:

  • 8B+ earned since Patreon's inception

  • 30M free new memberships in the first year of launching that option, and

  • 10M fans paying each month for exclusive access to creators' work and community.

We're continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator products with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for a Staff Data Scientist to support our mission

This role is based in San Francisco or in New York and open to those who are able to be in-office 2 days per week on a hybrid work model.

About the Role

  • You’ll work in lock step with your cross-functional team to build product features that help creators improve their membership monetization.

  • You’ll conduct quantitative research to inform product strategy and opportunities, design metrics to help track goals and make decisions, devise learning methods (including experiments) to test hypotheses, and work closely with our machine learning and data engineering teams on building MVP user-facing data products. 

  • You'll translate data into actionable insights and communicate your technical work to the data team, your cross-functional partners, executive leadership, and the rest of the company. 

  • You’ll be a cultural and technical leader on the data science team. 

About You

  • You have a wealth of experience helping product teams make great decisions with data.

  • You are an experimentation expert and possess a very strong statistical inference skillset. 

  • You have solid analytical thinking. You ask the right questions and strive to see beyond the numbers to understand what an analysis represents in terms of real-world applications. 

  • You have experience making tradeoffs between speed and accuracy.

  • You are a SQL expert and have experience in Python or R to perform statistical analyses.

  • You have a track record of building strong relationships with product, engineering, research, and design teammates.

  • You have a growth mindset and aspire to continuously improve your soft and technical skills.

  • You are an expert communicator with a love for clarity and simplicity.
