• Integrate internal data with external data sources and APIs to discover and implement actionable insights
• Design and craft rich data visualizations to communicate stories to customers and company leadership

We'd love to find someone who is…

• A builder. You are passionate about delivering better experiences and better products to our customers and have a deep sense of ownership for your craft.
• An experimental scientist. You love putting on your lab coat and trying new things, new combinations of tools, techniques and feature engineering approaches even if you sometimes fail.
