Data Scientist II, Product

🤠 Why Join Us 

User Interviews is a fully remote team (even in the before times). We are proactive about staying connected to one another despite not sharing the same physical space. Remote culture is real, and we care about it—a lot. 

We’re a team of doers. You’ll be fully supported by your manager and team, but there won’t be anyone peering over your shoulder. You’ll be expected and trusted to take ownership of your work and to communicate clearly and transparently with your distributed teammates. 

On a related note, we’re very pro-feedback. From our users, of course. But also from each other. From individual contributors right up to the CEO, this is a team that is genuinely committed to continuous improvement. 

⭐️ About User Interviews 

At User Interviews, we believe that the best companies in the world consistently deliver products and experiences that their customers love. We also believe that the only way to build those products and experiences consistently is to talk to your customers. Watch what they do. Understand why they do what they do. Figure out why they do things that seem irrational. And once you’ve done that once, do it again. Start having constant conversations. In short, make customers your #1 priority through user research.    

That’s why we exist. We help teams set up those conversations, allowing them to discover and embrace user insights. We currently do that by making it fast and easy to talk to customers, or potential customers, to help with product, design, or marketing decisions. We work with hundreds of companies every month, including user-centric organizations like Atlassian, Amazon, and Spotify.  

📈 Analytics at User Interviews

We believe that access to data-driven insights and models has the power to enhance stakeholders' ability to make decisions that will bolster User Interviews’ success, help create an ever-better product, and elevate the experience of users on our platform. We work with every team at the company and across diverse data sets to make this happen! 

🚀 About the Role

As a Data Scientist, you’ll be embedded with a cross-functional Product team and involved throughout projects, from planning to building to assessing.
The team will look to you to explain current behavior, model potential outcomes, and be a leading voice in where we should go next.

• Focus on automating reporting tools and dashboards so that we can spend more time on the most complex problems.

Some sample projects that the Data Science team has helped with: 

 - How can we improve customer retention?
