Staff Data Scientist

WHO WE ARE Imprint is building a platform that helps the world’s best brands grow the lifetime value of their customers. We started with co-branded credit cards and rebuilt them to be smarter, more rewarding, and brand-first. We partner with companies like Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, Booking.com http://Booking.com, H-E-B, Fetch, and Shell to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth. But the card is just the beginning. We combine advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and deep customer data to predict what each customer will do next and act on it, so brands can offer powerful financial products without becoming a bank. Co-branded cards alone account for over $300 billion in U.S. annual spend, and most still run on legacy bank rails. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, embeddable, and built for how people actually pay today. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, Ribbit, and Khosla Ventures, we’re building a world-class team to redefine how people pay and how brands grow. If you want to move fast, solve hard problems, and own real outcomes, we want to meet you. Learn more about us on Imprint's Technology blog https://tech.imprint.co. ROLE SUMMARY The Data team at Imprint builds the data foundation that powers smarter, faster decision-making. The team develops infrastructure and analytics systems that support both daily operations and long-term strategy, enabling high-quality insights into customer behavior, product performance, and business growth. As a Staff Data Scientist, you will own end-to-end analytical projects that directly influence product decisions, marketing campaigns, and executive strategy. You will apply rigorous statistical methods, experimentation design, and predictive modeling to improve customer lifetime value, accelerate feedback loops, and drive measurable business outcomes. This role blends deep technical expertise with strong business partnership. You will work across the organization—collaborating with product, marketing, and commercial teams—to design experiments, build segmentation frameworks, and translate complex data into clear narratives that shape how Imprint grows. Increasingly, that means building not just analyses but AI-powered systems that can autonomously explore data, generate insights, and operationalize decisions. What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days - Shipped a new model to production that drives a measurable business outcome - Delivered a meaningful analysis of a complex business problem, beyond simple A/B test reporting - Fully integrated with the Data Science team through active participation in code reviews, technical discussions, and knowledge sharing - Built strong working relationships with key stakeholders and aligned on priorities with your manager and cross-functional partners - Demonstrated fluency with Imprint's business model, data systems, and user personas—able to explain how the company generates revenue, which partnerships are healthiest, and how your work drives impact Responsibilities - Apply statistical inference, causal analysis, and experimentation design to improve LTV/CAC and accelerate feedback loops - Champion A/B testing by partnering with cross-functional teams to design, analyze, and interpret experiments rigorously, using scalable frameworks and tooling - Build segmentation frameworks and predictive models (churn, LTV, propensity, etc) to drive targeting, personalization, and lifecycle optimization - Design and build agentic workflows to automate the data science lifecycle (exploration, modeling, experimentation) - Use LLMs and AI tools as collaborators to reason about data, generate hypotheses, and iterate on analyses - Build AI-driven systems for monitoring, diagnosing, and automating business insights and decisions - Translate data into clear narratives that influence product decisions, marketing campaigns, and executive strategy - Support automation projects as needed, incl
