About your skills You’re a data scientist who lives at the intersection of product, experimentation, and storytelling. You know that a great A/B test is only the beginning — the harder, more interesting work is figuring out why a treatment moved (or didn’t move) the metric, what it tells you about your customers, and what the team should try next. You’re fluent in SQL, Python, and modern experimentation practice, and you have a strong product instinct that lets you turn ambiguous business questions into well-framed analyses. You partner naturally with PMs, designers, engineers, and marketers; you’re as comfortable shaping a roadmap conversation as you are debugging a tracking pipeline. You care about scaling your impact through better tooling, sharper metrics, and analytics that other people can actually use without you in the room.

You will help these teams run a high-velocity experimentation program, define the metrics and dashboards they make decisions with, and use causal and behavioral analysis to surface the next big opportunities in the funnel. Your insights will directly shape how millions of learners around the world experience Udemy’s consumer marketplace and subscription products. Success in this role will require a combination of strong communication and collaboration skills, sharp product sense, deep experimentation rigor, and a customer-centric mindset. We are interested in building a diverse, collaborative, and fun environment. Come help us improve lives through learning!
