Data Scientist, Product Analytics

WHY WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU

Retool started as a way to address obstacles with internal tools and has grown into a company that solves internal tooling for thousands of companies (big and small). As Retool's product and user base evolves, we've found ourselves with numerous opportunities to leverage data-driven insights to influence product development.

To continue our fast-paced growth, we must build a world-class data science and analytics team to deliver strategic product insights. You'll help us get there by defining key metrics and developing data-driven insights to maximize impact. We're looking for someone ready to get their hands dirty, motivated by impacting the business, and constantly curious. This is the right role for someone who thrives while making sense of the blurry space that is data at a high-growth startup.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

As a member of the data science analytics team, you'll play a pivotal role in building the data culture at Retool. You'll initiate projects to generate strategic insights and help the company remain data-driven. You'll build data pipelines, dashboards, and reports to streamline operations, inform strategic priorities, and empower stakeholders to make data-informed decisions. You'll apply statistical knowledge and the scientific method to the data questions we face today, and help us think critically about the questions of tomorrow.

WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH

As a data scientist, you'll work closely with engineering, design, and product teams to size opportunities, prioritize product features, set goals, and quantify impact. We're a hard-working, passionate bunch who are motivated by collaboration, strong results, and bringing the impact of Retool to our customers. When we're in the office, we enjoy eating lunch (and occasionally dinner!) together, and we've been known for our lively game nights. But at the root of it all, we come together to show our customers and not-quite-yet customers how Retool can make them and their companies more efficient and successful. If this sounds like a fit, we'd love to hear from you!

• Experience bolstering quantitative analysis with qualitative insights
• A solution-oriented growth mindset. You'll need to be a self-starter and thrive in a dynamic environment
• Comfortable with common git workflows and at least one scripting or statistical programming language (ideally Python and/or R)

IN THIS ROLE, YOU'LL:

• Embed with engineering, product, and design teams to surface key insights
• Develop dashboards and define metrics that drive key product and business decisions
• Build and maintain ETL pipelines
