- KPI reporting and monitoring; this includes anomaly detection tools and advanced measurement approaches.
- Exploratory data analysis (e.g. clustering/segmentation) to generate new insights & inform our product recommendation roadmap.
- Use and develop our in-house automated tools; for instance, we have created a QA tool to better understand the performance of our new algorithms before A/B testing them.

- Run open-ended exploratory data analysis to identify new ideas and opportunities
- Design and run A/B tests of our latest recommendations algorithms
- Proactively monitor our recommendation models to identify potential issues, determine root causes, and resolve.

- Analytics or Data Science experiences with e-commerce companies is a strong plus.
- In-depth experience with SQL (aggregate functions, query optimization, stored procedures, string parsing, Vertica/Hive/Presto/Spark, etc.), required.
- In-depth experience with python & python tools (Jupyter notebooks, functions, pandas, sklearn, matplotlib, etc.), required.
- Experience with experimental design (A/B tests) and statistical analysis to drive business decision making, highly preferred.
- Knowledge and experience using machine learning algorithms/techniques (decision trees, random forest, deep learning, etc.) within a business context, highly preferred.
- Strong written and verbal communication with a team player, highly collaborative attitude.
- Ability to collaborate and proactively communicate with stakeholders.
- Proven track record of taking ownership and driving results. Thrive in a fast-paced environment.
