About this role
We re hiring a Senior Staff Data Scientist to deepen how data shapes our product and growth strategy. You ll develop an end-to-end understanding of the PLG journey, proactively identify opportunities, and turn complex data into hypotheses, experiments, and recommendations that influence where we invest and what we build. This is a highly autonomous role for someone who can move from identifying an important question to shaping the approach, defining success, and driving toward an answer.
What Youll Do
- Own the analytical understanding of Netlify s PLG performance across activation, engagement, conversion, monetization, and retention, identifying opportunities before they become requests
- Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to turn behavioral insights into product bets, defining what to test, how to measure it, and what the results mean
- Lead experimentation from hypothesis through decision, including study design, methodology, success metrics, guardrails, analysis, and recommendations
- Apply statistical rigor where it matters while recognizing when there is enough signal to make a decision and move forward, and help teams develop that same judgment
- Build scalable analytical systems like semantic models, trusted metrics, proactive monitoring, and AI-powered agents that surface opportunities without waiting to be asked
- Use AI to investigate faster, automate recurring analytical work, and test more hypotheses without sacrificing the judgment that makes the output useful
- Identify gaps in measurement, event instrumentation, and metric definitions, and partner with Data and Product Engineering to close them
- Serve as a trusted analytical partner to PLG leadership, using evidence and product judgment to influence investment decisions and roadmap priorities
- Influence product strategy through evidence, product instincts, and a clear point of view, without relying on formal authority to do it
- 8+ years of experience in product analytics, growth analytics, or data science, with a track record of high ownership and measurable impact on PLG or consumer product outcomes
- Deep understanding of product and growth dynamics across activation, engagement, conversion, monetization, and retention
- Demonstrated ability to turn behavioral data into product hypotheses and carry them from insight through experimentation and measured outcomes
- Deep experimentation expertise: study design, statistical reasoning, causal inference, and the judgment to know when an experiment has told you what you need to know
- Experience building analytical systems such as metrics layers, monitoring frameworks, or semantic models that teams can rely on over time
- An AI-native approach to analysis: you use AI tools actively to accelerate investigation, automate repetitive work, and surface patterns faster
- A track record of influencing senior stakeholders and product direction through analytical reasoning, clear recommendations, and sound judgment
- Comfort operating with significant autonomy in ambiguous problem spaces, including determining which questions are most important to answer
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in distributed environments, with the ability to make complex findings clear and recommendations actionable
- Youre energized by finding the opportunity before anyone thought to ask - proactive discovery is how you naturally work, not a mode you shift into
- You think like a product person who happens to be exceptionally rigorous with data, not a data person who occasionally weighs in on product
- You thrive when the problem isnt handed to you - youd rather define the question worth asking than answer the one that landed in your queue
- You get excited about building systems that keep working after youve moved on to the next problem
- Youre comfortable making a call with imperfect information and can articulate clearly why you made it
- You enjoy being a thought partner to senior leaders - shaping how they think about investment and opportunity, not just supporting decisions already made
- You work well in a remote-first, async environment where written clarity and self-direction matter more than proximity
- Youre drawn to roles where the measure of success is outcomes, decisions made, bets tested, metrics moved, not volume of output produced

About
Netlify is the AI-native web development platform where agents and developers build together. Netlify is the AI-native platform where agents and developers build together. Over 15 million developers and teams use it to build, launch, and scale web applications on a single platform, from independent builders to cross-functional teams at Bolt, Figma, Mattel, and Riot Games. Whether you're writing code or working with AI, Netlify takes you from prompt to live production URL in one workflow. Leading AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI run directly inside the Netlify dashboard, which is agent-agnostic by design. Underneath sits managed Postgres with isolated branches per Deploy Preview, serverless functions, edge compute, and a global CDN. Every modern web framework is supported. That last part matters. Most AI prototyping tools hit a wall when it's time to ship. Teams build something quickly, then hand it back to engineering to rebuild on real infrastructure before it can scale. Netlify skips that step. The app you ship on day one is the app that scales. Netlify's CEO and co-founder, Mathias Biilmann, coined the term agent experience (AX) in January 2025. The company's long-term strategy is built around being the best place for agents and the humans directing them to build software together. The business model reflects that bet. Netlify was first in the category to pair credit-based usage tiers with flat, unlimited seats. Developers, PMs, marketers, and internal builders can all join the same plan for free and build alongside AI agents. It's a PLG motion designed for bottom-up enterprise expansion, with consumption driving growth instead of seat counts.
