About The Role

We're looking for a Data Scientist to build and scale Opus's data capabilities. This role sits at the crossroads of data engineering, applied data science, and product strategy. You'll lead high-impact projects across growth, CRM, customer experience, payments, web tracking, experimentation, and LLM-driven analytics—working closely with cross-functional partners to drive measurable business outcomes.

This is a hands-on role: you'll define data vision, architectural systems, and roll up your sleeves to build pipelines, models, and advanced analyses that power Opus's growth.

Responsibilities

Data Engineering & Infrastructure

• Design, implement, and maintain robust pipelines across multiple sources, including GCS, MongoDB, and third-party SaaS platforms.
• Ensure scalable ingestion, transformation, and governance of structured and unstructured data.

Applied Data Science & Analytics

• Lead advanced analyses across growth, CRM/CX, payment flows, and web tracking.
• Build marketing attribution models to measure ROI and optimize spend.
• Analyze user lifecycle and retention patterns, including churn risk, reactivation triggers, and CLV.
• Develop predictive models on user behavior to power personalization and recommendations.
• Create user segmentation and tagging frameworks to enable targeted engagement strategies.
• Evaluate CX metrics (NPS, CSAT, support efficiency) to inform product and ops improvements.
• Establish best practices in A/B testing and post-experiment evaluation.
• Prior experience in these areas is highly valued.

Experimentation & Insights

• Partner with product and business teams to design experiments and interpret results.
• Drive rigor in experiment design, metric selection, and causal inference.

Leadership & Strategy

• Define the data science roadmap / priority and align it with company goal.
• Mentor and grow a scrappy, high-performing team of data engineers and analysts.
• Act as a thought partner across GTM and BD initiatives, enabling data-driven decisions.

Requirements

Experience

• 3~5 years of experience in data-related roles, with a strong individual contributor (IC) background
• Proven track record of leading projects end-to-end in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment.

Education

• Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field (e.g., Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or related).
• Master's degree preferred, though not strictly required, if compensated by strong industry experience.

Technical Expertise

• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL, with hands-on experience across the data lifecycle.
• Experience with the modern data stack (BigQuery, dbt, Superset, Statsig).
• Solid data engineering skills with cloud storage (e.g., GCS), NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB), and SaaS integrations.
• Familiarity with workflow orchestration (e.g., Airflow) to automate and manage pipelines.
• Mastery of working in notebooks (e.g., Jupyter, Databricks), comfortable digging into raw data repositories and producing reproducible analyses.
• Familiar with LLM and agent workflows, curious and eager to push the frontier.
• Strong end-to-end development skills: from data ingestion and cleaning through modeling, analysis, deployment, and monitoring.
• Deep experience in A/B testing, experimentation platforms, and post-experiment analysis.
• Strong statistical intuition with the ability to translate results into actionable insights.
• Exposure to CRM/CX, payments, web tracking, and user data.
• Experience building data products that support BD and customer-facing use cases.
• Ability to balance hands-on execution with strategic leadership.
• Experience in fast-paced startup environments, collaborating with product, engineering, and GTM teams.
