Job Description

Padlet is building software for a good education. A good education is one that inspires curiosity, creativity, and community. Our software enables that through visual content creation and collaboration in millions of classrooms worldwide.

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to help us make better product designs using the power of data and help us achieve our vision.

Responsibilities

  • Look at data to discover insights for making the product better, growing product usage, and growing sales.
  • Whatever else a good data scientist does.

Qualifications

  • At some point in your life, someone has told you: “you are good with data.”
  • Track record of improving products with data.
  • Bonus: you have a good sense of humor.

About Padlet

  • Vision: Every child in the world will grow up with Mickey Mouse and Padlet.
  • Product: We are making the default way of collecting and sharing thoughts on the Internet. People love the product.
  • Impact: We have over 50 million active users making Padlet one of the most used apps on the planet. Our goal is to be THE the most used app on the planet.
  • Money: We are venture backed AND fiscally responsible. We are built to last one hundred years.
  • Badassery: We are 36 people (plus a baby crane that we’ve adopted but it doesn’t really do much). That’s over a million active users per employee. Some badass people work here.

Joys of Data Science at Padlet

  • We don’t look at data much. (We recognize the value.) There’s likely a lot of low hanging fruit. Lots of easy wins.
  • We have very few meetings. We value keeping you in flow.
  • A lot of people use Padlet. There is a lot of data to look at.

Sorrows of Data Science at Padlet

  • We haven’t looked at data much and it hasn’t traditionally been part of decision making. CEO isn’t a decision by data person. There maybe inertia to get your insights into the product.

Some people you‘d be working with

  • Linh Nguyen: At any given point, no one really knows where Linh is. We learn of his existence through pull requests and code reviews. Frontend maestro.
  • Brian Koh: Only human we know who has impulsive urges to exercise. When he does, he doesn’t care about outfits. We’ve seen him running in boots, tight jeans, and leather jackets. Exceptional engineer and even better mentor.

Benefits

  • Top tier medical insurance for you and your family.
  • Good stock options.
  • Catered lunches and dinners.
  • 20 vacation days. Plus sickness and bereavement days for when life happens.
  • All the gadgetry you need, including a new phone every year.

Special time to join
