What you will do

• Own the MAU forecast and growth model in Python and SQL, decomposing MAU into registration, retention, and reactivation, tracking accuracy, and explaining forecast misses.
• Set standards for experiment design and analysis, including power, metric selection, variance reduction, sequential testing, heterogeneous effects, and interference in shared-family products.
• Advance the causal inference toolkit through methods such as difference-in-differences, synthetic controls, regression discontinuity, and instrumental variables, turning analyses into reusable approaches.
• Define and document analytical standards, review analyses across operating groups, and collaborate with decision scientists, data scientists, analytics engineers, and data engineers.
• Build AI agent workflows, templates, and tools to scale forecasts, experiment readouts, and causal analyses.
• Mentor data scientists, lead reviews and internal talks, and translate complex findings into clear recommendations for leadership.
