This isn't a traditional Data Scientist role. You won't spend your days optimizing machine learning models in notebooks or publishing research. Instead, you'll own analytical products that directly influence how millions of users experience Smallpdf.

You'll work across Product, Growth and Engineering to:

• design experiments

• improve decision making

• own production analytical systems

• build reliable data products

• uncover opportunities hidden in data

• translate complex analyses into business impact

You'll be joining a small, highly autonomous team where everyone owns outcomes rather than tasks. If you're looking for a role where you can combine engineering, statistics, product thinking and business impact, you'll enjoy this.

What you'll do

• Own production data products. You'll maintain and evolve analytical systems that directly power business decisions, including our marketing automation pipeline and core semantic data models.

• Design and analyze experiments. Work closely with Product and Growth teams to design experiments, define success metrics, analyze outcomes and recommend next steps.

• Build reliable analytical foundations. Develop dbt models, improve data quality, monitor production pipelines and ensure stakeholders trust the data they use every day.

• Solve ambiguous business problems. You'll rarely receive perfectly defined tasks. Instead, you'll partner with stakeholders to understand problems, explore data, identify opportunities and propose solutions before anyone asks.

• Turn data into decisions. Communicate insights clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, helping teams prioritize what matters most.

• Continuously improve our data platform. You'll work with Data Engineers to improve our analytical infrastructure, semantic layer, experimentation framework, as well as future AI evaluation systems.

What we're looking for

You probably have

• Several years of experience as a Data Scientist in a modern product company.

• Strong Python and SQL skills.

• Experience building production data products that drove real business impact - not just notebooks.

• Solid understanding of experimentation, statistics and hypothesis testing.

• Experience working with modern data warehouses and transformation tools (dbt is a plus, not a requirement).

• Experience partnering directly with Product, Growth or Marketing teams.

You'll stand out if you

• Love understanding products and users.

• Naturally investigate anomalies instead of ignoring them.

• Enjoy solving messy, ambiguous problems.

• Care about shipping useful work rather than perfect work.

• Can explain complex technical topics to non-technical stakeholders.

• Have owned analytical products from idea through production.

• Have experience working in B2C SaaS or product-led growth environments

Our tech stack

You'll work with technologies such as:

• Python

• SQL

• dbt

• Redshift

• GrowthBook

• AWS

• Git

• Modern BI and analytics tooling

Experience with every tool isn't required - we value strong fundamentals over matching our exact stack.
