What's next in music is first on SoundCloud. As the world’s
largest open audio platform, SoundCloud is powered by a connected
community of creators, listeners and curators who share, discover and
influence what’s new, now and next in music and audio.
We're
looking for exceptional Data Scientists to join our Data Science team in
either Berlin or New York. As a keen analytical intellect and sharp
commercial mind, you will work closely with key leaders across a broad
array of impactful topics and directly help shape SoundCloud’s Product
and Business Strategy.
About the role
You will be part of the Strategy & Analytics team at SoundCloud
which focusses on informing company strategy through in-depth
understanding of user behaviour/product/content dynamics and generating
strategic value from SC’s vast data asset. You will be responsible for
conducting behavioral analyses, designing, running and interpreting
experiments, creating analytical frameworks, designing dashboards and
building predictive models in order to inform decision making in a
series of complex product and business problems and ultimately elevate
SoundCloud’s ability to compete.
On a daily basis you will help guide decisions with quantitative
insights into user behavior, content and product dynamics. Our stack
includes a wide variety of technologies such as BigQuery, Python, Spark
and Tableau.
Some topics you might be working on:
- Explore user engagement and retention to underpin growth strategies;
- Analyse A/B tests for new feature development or business model evolution;
- Develop foundational analytical frameworks to optimize lifecycle management for our subscription businesses;
- Work hand in hand with engineering teams to define data driven tracking for our new features.
About You
You are an experienced Data Scientist with minimum 3 years experience
who excels at analytical thinking, and brings strong commercial and
product intuition along with sound technical knowledge and fantastic
storytelling skills.
You feel comfortable writing SQL queries and Python code and you are willing to embrace new technologies.
You have a background in a quantitative field (mathematics, computer
science with strong academic record preferred) and a track record of
applying statistical inference and engineering in real world data
science problems (ideally in a global b2c product in the digital space).
You enjoy working closely with teams and you want to make a real impact
on the company, in the world of music and creative expression.
