[Hiring] Senior Data Scientist @Elastic

Role Description

Elastic is growing, and our GTM strategy is evolving. We need a Senior Data Scientist to build our marketing intelligence engine. Can you help us connect the dots from customer discovery to revenue? This is a high-visibility role for a builder-operator. You'll own the full technical lifecycle—architecting models, tuning for precision, and ensuring our intelligence layers run reliably every day!

What You Will Be Doing

• Intelligence Systems: Own the hands-on development of our IMA (Integrated Measurement Attribution) framework. You will merge macro-trends with micro-user journeys into a single source of truth.
• Predictive Frameworks: Build and tune the models that forecast growth. From lead scoring to churn prediction, you’ll develop the frameworks that tell us where our next customer is coming from.
• Account-Based Intelligence: Architect models that decode the B2B journey. You will synthesize lead-to-account signals and revenue motions across PLG and Sales-Led funnels.
• Causal Inference: Isolate the true lift of marketing spend. You’ll build "always-on" incrementality frameworks to guide our next dollar of investment.
• Full-Stack Ownership: Manage the model lifecycle from prototype to production. We value engineering excellence, GitHub version control, and auditable logic!

Qualifications

• 5+ years of Data Science experience (or Master’s + 3 years) with a track record of autonomously leading complex projects to production.
• 5+ years shipping complex predictive models to production autonomously. You know how to build, tune, and support live systems.
• Deep knowledge of lead-to-account mapping, buying groups, and the transition from product usage to enterprise sales.
• Expert-level Python and SQL. You take pride in writing clean code that your peer community can easily follow!
• Can you translate complex statistical outputs into a clear story for executive leaders?

Bonus Points

• Experience with Google BigQuery, Fivetran, dbt, or Tableau.
• Experience with frameworks like Google Meridian or Meta Robyn.
• Interest in LLMs and Agentic workflows to drive signal resilience and conversational analytics.
