[Hiring] Senior Data Scientist @Temporal Technologies

Role Description

The Data Scientist, Product Growth and Experimentation will help drive decision making in support of our Product Led Growth function. This role sits at the intersection of Data, Product, Growth, and GTM. You will work deeply embedded within the Product and Engineering teams focused on PLG. Your focus will be illuminating the user journey from initial interest to fully adopted and all the steps in between.

• Surface friction points in the onboarding process.
• Identify behaviors indicative of successful adoption.
• Evaluate interventions to bring the value of Temporal to more users.
• Work with large data, clean data sets, and data sets with constraints.
• Provide well-informed recommendations and conclusions.
• Bring deep knowledge and practical experience with statistical methods.

What You’ll Do

• Act as an embedded Data partner to Product, Design, and Engineering.
• Build analytical frameworks across the full PLG journey.
• Use funnel, cohort, journey, and sequence analysis to identify friction and opportunities for improvement.
• Identify behaviors and milestones that predict conversion, production readiness, expansion, churn, and long-term customer success.
• Analyze feature discovery and adoption patterns to recommend interventions.
• Design and evaluate experiments and product changes using appropriate techniques.
• Clearly distinguish observed results from assumptions and quantify uncertainty.
• Help prioritize growth opportunities based on potential impact, confidence, effort, and measurement feasibility.
• Build reusable datasets, metrics, dashboards, and analytical tools.
• Partner with Engineering and Data Engineering to improve event instrumentation and data quality.
• Communicate findings through clear visualizations, written narratives, and practical recommendations.

What You’ll Focus on First

• Audit signals currently captured in the onboarding flow and recommend new instrumentation.
• Establish reporting and repeatable analysis for PLG experiments.
• Analyze user behavior after the first successful Activity or Workflow.
• Identify signals of production readiness and common points where users stall.
• Map feature-adoption paths across important product areas.

Qualifications

• A strong foundation in statistics, experimental design, causal reasoning, and quantitative analysis.
• Experience using product, behavioral, or event data to improve activation, engagement, retention, conversion, or expansion.
• Experience working with small samples, noisy signals, and imperfect control groups.
• Strong judgment in choosing methods that fit the decision and available data.
• Proficiency in SQL and Python for analysis, modeling, and automation.
• Experience with cohort analysis, funnel analysis, segmentation, predictive modeling, and machine-learning methods.
• Ability to prototype quickly in notebooks and convert analyses into reliable data products.
• Experience with modern data platforms and query engines.
• Familiarity with cloud and object-store technologies such as AWS S3.
• Experience building dashboards and reusable analytical assets.
• Comfort working with evolving definitions and trade-offs between analytical precision and decision usefulness.
• A results-oriented mindset and a record of translating analysis into product or business action.
• Strong communication skills to explain methods and recommendations in plain language.
• Curiosity about developer platforms, cloud infrastructure, and usage-based products.
• A collaborative approach and the ability to work effectively with various teams.
