Senior Staff Data Scientist

Netlify’s Data team helps the company understand and improve the full product-led

growth journey, from activation and engagement through conversion, retention, and monetization. We partner closely with Product,

Engineering, and Growth to uncover opportunities, evaluate investments, and understand what drives customer and business

outcomes.

We’re hiring a Senior Staff Data Scientist to deepen how data shapes our product and growth strategy. You’ll

develop an end-to-end understanding of the PLG journey, proactively identify opportunities, and turn complex data into hypotheses,

experiments, and recommendations that influence where we invest and what we build. This is a highly autonomous role for someone

who can move from identifying an important question to shaping the approach, defining success, and driving toward an answer.

• Own the analytical understanding of Netlify’s PLG performance across activation,

engagement, conversion, monetization, and retention, identifying opportunities before they become requests

• Partner with

Product and Engineering leadership to turn behavioral insights into product bets, defining what to test, how to measure it, and

what the results mean

• Lead experimentation from hypothesis through decision, including study design, methodology, success

metrics, guardrails, analysis, and recommendations

• Apply statistical rigor where it matters while recognizing when there

is enough signal to make a decision and move forward, and help teams develop that same judgment

• Build scalable analytical

systems like semantic models, trusted metrics, proactive monitoring, and AI-powered agents  that surface opportunities

without waiting to be asked

• Use AI to investigate faster, automate recurring analytical work, and test more hypotheses

without sacrificing the judgment that makes the output useful

• Identify gaps in measurement, event instrumentation, and

metric definitions, and partner with Data and Product Engineering to close them

• Serve as a trusted analytical partner to

PLG leadership, using evidence and product judgment to influence investment decisions and roadmap priorities

• Influence

product strategy through evidence, product instincts, and a clear point of view, without relying on formal authority to do it

• 8+ years of experience in product analytics, growth analytics, or data

science, with a track record of high ownership and measurable impact on PLG or consumer product outcomes

• Deep

understanding of product and growth dynamics across activation, engagement, conversion, monetization, and retention

• Demonstrated ability to turn behavioral data into product hypotheses and carry them from insight through experimentation and

measured outcomes

• Deep experimentation expertise: study design, statistical reasoning, causal inference, and the judgment

to know when an experiment has told you what you need to know

• Experience building analytical systems such as metrics

layers, monitoring frameworks, or semantic models that teams can rely on over time

• An AI-native approach to analysis: you

use AI tools actively to accelerate investigation, automate repetitive work, and surface patterns faster

• A track record

of influencing senior stakeholders and product direction through analytical reasoning, clear recommendations, and sound

judgment

• Comfort operating with significant autonomy in ambiguous problem spaces, including determining which questions

are most important to answer

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in distributed environments, with the ability

to make complex findings clear and recommendations actionable

• You're energized by finding the opportunity before anyone thought to ask - proactive discovery is how you naturally work, not

a mode you shift into

• You think like a product person who happens to be exceptionally rigorous with data, not a data

person who occasionally weighs in on product

• You thrive when the problem isn't handed to you - you'd rather define

the question worth asking than answer the one that landed in your queue

• You get excited about building systems that keep

working after you've moved on to the next problem

• You're comfortable making a call with imperfect information and can

articulate clearly why you made it

• You enjoy being a thought partner to senior leaders - shaping how they think about

investment and opportunity, not just supporting decisions already made

• You work well in a remote-first, async environment

where written clarity and self-direction matter more than proximity

• You're drawn to roles where the measure of success is

outcomes, decisions made, bets tested, metrics moved, not volume of output produced

When applying please

include:

A resume or short listing of your job history & skills (link to a LinkedIn profile would be fine). We

appreciate a cover letter explaining why you would enjoy working in this role at Netlify to get to know you a bit better, though

this is not required and will not impact your application. Our mission is to “build a better web” and that cannot be done without

a diversity of skill sets, backgrounds and thoughts.
