Data Scientist, Product Analytics

Job Description

Data scientists at Etsy use rigorous methods to generate insights that inform product, engineering, and business decisions across the company. We collaborate with partner teams through all stages of development: actively uncovering opportunity areas, crafting experiments to test hypotheses, analyzing the impact of our efforts, and highlighting takeaways.

Learning new skills and techniques is not only a requirement but a perk of the job! We are always looking for opportunities to grow. Our mission is to guide our partner teams with data and insights and tell the story of how we attract and retain our users — to teams, to senior management, and to the community.

In this role, you would partner closely with our Visual Discovery team, whose focus is bringing shoppers back to Etsy with rewarding and engaging experiences and items.

This role is located in Brooklyn, NY and is part of our Analytics and Strategic Finance team.

In this role you will:

• Transform raw data into impactful analysis characterized by strong data governance/documentation, rigorous techniques, and actionable recommendations.
• Partner with product, engineering, design teams; use behavioral and transactional data to shed light on our users and our product experience, identify areas for improvement, and drive decision-making.
• Identify impactful metrics to understand the performance of products, develop reporting dashboards to track progress, and ingrain these metrics into teams’ day-to-day decision-making.
• Lead experimentation, help teams set strong hypotheses, and deliver robust analysis of experiment results.
• Continually evaluate and refine your technical toolkit; teach what you learn to the team.

Qualifications

• 2-4 years experience in a data scientist or data analyst role in which you extracted meaning from big data sets with little engineering support.
• Understanding of the principles of A/B testing, and experience crafting and analyzing experiments.
• Proficiency in SQL and familiarity with either R or Python. Bonus points for experience with the Hadoop ecosystem or additional scripting languages (Scala, PHP, Ruby, etc.)
• Experience with Looker, Tableau, or other data visualization software is a plus.
• Desire to advance your technical skill set and to apply new methods to impactful questions.
• Ability to communicate your insights verbally, visually, and in writing, and care for the quality and integrity of your work.
• Ability to play a key role on a cross-functional team.
• Passion for subjects such as experimental design, data visualization, and statistical analysis techniques.
