Senior Data Scientist

About us:

RevenueCat makes building, analyzing, and growing mobile subscriptions easy. We launched as part of Y Combinator's summer 2018 batch and today are handling more than $4B of in-app purchases annually across thousands of apps.

We are a mission driven, remote-first company that is building the standard for mobile subscription infrastructure. Top apps like VSCO, Notion, and ClassDojo count on RevenueCat to power their subscriptions at scale.

Our 80 team members (and growing!) are located all over the world, from San Francisco to Madrid to Taipei. We're a close-knit, product-driven team, and we strive to live our core values: Customer Obsession, Always Be Shipping, Own It, and Balance.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Data Scientist to help us enable developers to make better decisions by using the unique data we have collected across the mobile subscription ecosystem. You will form part of our recently established Data team partnering closely with the product team to shape the future data features of our product. 

To achieve this, your work will involve creating data models, dashboards, and reports that power insights helping our customers make data-driven decisions to improve the overall user experience and maximise the product's value. We will do so by shipping data-enabled features, for example Lifetime Value (LTV) prediction, appraising the reliability of experiment results, or benchmarking. 

Our data tech stack includes a Python backend for development, a PostgreSQL production database for reliable data management, and a Snowflake data warehouse for scalable analytics. We leverage dbt for efficient data transformation, all on AWS for enhanced performance and scalability. We are in the process of enhancing our stack by integrating SageMaker and expanding our capabilities in the machine learning space.

About you:

• You are proficient in SQL and are comfortable with data modeling
• You have experience building predictive models
• You have built production-ready data pipelines and Python models
