- Dashboarding & Reporting: Develop and maintain automated, interactive dashboards and reporting systems (using BI tools or advanced Google Sheets/Excel modeling) to track core business and product KPIs.
- Exploratory Analysis: Conduct deep-dive data analysis to identify emerging trends, user behaviors, and potential bottlenecks within the product funnel.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Business Operations teams to define data collection requirements and ensure accurate event tracking.
- Data Quality Assurance: Monitor data integrity, troubleshoot pipeline anomalies, and ensure high accuracy in all reporting metrics.
- Experimentation Support: Assist in setting up A/B tests and analyzing experiment results to guide the development of new AI features.
What We Are Looking For (Requirements):
- Education: Recently graduated with a M.S. degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Information Systems, or a related quantitative field.
- Technical Skills: Strong foundational knowledge of SQL and relational database management.
- Scripting: Proficiency in at least one scripting language, preferably Python (including libraries like Pandas and NumPy) for data manipulation and automation.
- Analytical Mindset: Ability to break down ambiguous business questions into structured data problems and solve them logically.
- Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex data findings effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Adaptability: A strong desire to learn and thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment.
Bonus Points (Preferred Qualifications):
- Familiarity with cloud data warehousing concepts (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Amazon Redshift).
- Experience with Business Intelligence and visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Metabase, PowerBI).
- Basic understanding of data orchestration and transformation tools (like Apache Airflow or dbt).
- Previous internship, academic project, or work experience in a SaaS, AI, or tech-driven company.
