You will use comprehensive datasets to develop experiments, understand metrics, develop automated reports, and generate exploratory insights to guide our business solutions. You will collaborate with other members of our team to surface important insights - exploratory analysis, experiment results, collaborations with other teams (consumer insights/strategy/etc) - to our partner teams and across the company. These insights influence both the performance of our business and the experience of our members.

This role has the opportunity to work on either the Core, Revenue, or Growth features of the Tinder app - during the interview process, we will work closely with you to define what team would be the best match.

Where you’ll work:This position can be located in Los Angeles,CA or San Francisco, CA.

  • Design and analyze experiments to rigorously test a specific hypothesis.
  • Find the “story” in the data and readily share insights with product, engineering, and design as well as at a company level.
  • Be an authority with a point of view for the organization, using data to constantly challenge and reshape our current understanding of customer behavior and business performance.
  • Derive and communicate data-driven recommendations regarding both the prioritization of potential product/marketing initiatives and performance of current initiatives.
  • Define and operationalize the detailed tracking of company-wide, team-specific, and product-specific performance metrics via rollout tables, dashboards, and automated reporting.

About You:

  • Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field (e.g. Economics, Computer Science, Statistics), Master’s degree or PhD preferred.
  • 1-2 years of professional working experience in Data Science and/or analytics preferred.
  • Experience with SQL and data visualization tools (e.g. Tableau or Mode) is a plus, not required.
  • Familiarity with scripting languages, machine learning, sophisticated statistical techniques - A/B experience is a plus, not required.
  • Ability to develop a nuanced business understanding, testable hypotheses, and significant findings from data.
  • Eagerness to identify and explore new product opportunities, potential improvements to our data infrastructure, and unanswered questions about member behavior.
  • Comfort using descriptive and inferential statistics.
  • Curiosity of how things work, from both a business and technical perspective.
  • A collaborative growth mindset with a dedication to community-based projects and partnerships.

As part of the team, you'll enjoy:

  • Unlimited PTO (with no waiting period), 10 annual Wellness Days
  • Time off to volunteer and charitable donations matched up to $15,000 annually 
  • Comprehensive health, vision, and dental coverage
  • 100% 401(k) employer match up to 10%, Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
