🔒 What’s the role?

We are looking for a senior analytics professional to help drive the success of product efforts at Etsy by providing concrete insights, industry-leading measurement techniques, and access to the metrics, data, and tools needed for decision-making and optimization.

As a Senior Data Scientist you will be responsible for:

Applying advanced analytical techniques to break down high-level strategy questions into actionable insights that drive the next stage of growth for our users

Conducting online experiments to help improve buyer experience with Etsy Ads, while ensuring seller satisfaction with the product

Identifying drivers of relevance that contribute to engagement with seller ads, and surfacing inefficiencies that could help unlock improvements to our models
