About the Role:
The Data Science role at Vercel is responsible for providing a broad range of advanced analytical services to the Data Team’s stakeholders. Example problems include:
Provide leadership in data analytics, forecasting, metric design, and A/B testingExperience leading data-driven projects to solve complex business problemsKnowledge of statistics (e.g., hypothesis testing, designing experiments, predictive analytics, multivariate clustering)Performing advanced exploratory analysis that includes effects like cohorts, seasonality, derivatives of trends, and statistical testsHelping design metrics that have a high chance of producing measurable results
The data science role will closely partner with data engineering and analytics engineering to maximise their high-quality data for the role's core responsibilities. The role will also partner with other teams (marketing operations, finance, business operations, and the leadership team) to help them get a better understanding of their operational data. The data science role will occasionally need to work further upstream with engineering to understand how data is created within the production systems so their analytical understanding can align with the production environments. This role will have the opportunity to work with every department at Vercel to increase the quality and quantity of data decisions.
About You:
