Principal Data Scientist

SUPERHUMAN 👉

We exist so that professionals end each day feeling happier, more productive, and closer to achieving their potential.

Today we are…

• The fastest email experience in the world

• Loved and adored: see what our customers say

Our customers get through their inboxes twice as fast; many see inbox zero for the first time in years.

Come shape the future of email, communication, and productivity!

BUILD LOVE 💜

At Superhuman, we deeply understand how to build products that people love. We incorporate fun and play; we infuse magic and joy; we make experiences that amaze and delight.

It all starts with the right team — a team that deeply cares about values, customers, and each other.

CREATE MASSIVE IMPACT 🚀

We're not solving a small problem, and we're not addressing a small market. We're going after email; the one activity that consumes more of our work day than any other.

Our ambition doesn't stop there. Next: calendars, team collaboration, notes, contacts, and tasks. We are building the productivity platform of the future.

DO THE BEST WORK OF YOUR LIFE 🌟

We have created the frameworks for how to build product market fit and redefined the narrative of how to onboard customers successfully. We have shown the world it’s possible to build a premium productivity brand. Our investors include Andreessen Horowitz, First Round Capital, IVP, Tiger Global Management, Sam Altman, and the founders of Gmail, Dropbox, Reddit, Discord, Stripe, GitHub, AngelList, and Intercom.

Looking ahead, we’re swinging beyond the fences and fundamentally rethinking how individuals and teams should collaborate. We are building a household brand and a worldwide organization. We are here to do the best work of our lives, and we hope you are too.

As a Principal Data Scientist, you’ll accelerate our journey to achieving our vision by leading product analytics for our core product experience, partnering closely with Product Managers and our executive team to uncover deep insights about our users and using that information to craft the next evolution of the Superhuman product.

THE ROLE 👩🏽‍💻👨‍💻

Mission: use data to improve outcomes for Superhuman’s users and business

• Partner with our Product, Design, Engineering, and Executive teams to discover insights about our users and craft an even better product experience for them

• Empathy: You strive to approach projects from stakeholders’ and users’ point of view in order to produce the best outcome for all parties

• Embracing Ambiguity: You thrive with a large scope of ownership, and expertly prioritize which problems to solve, push your work forward even in the face of incomplete information, and offer proactive recommendations to help our product business improve

• Ownership: You autonomously define, roadmap, and deliver large-scale projects, anticipating and resolving roadblocks and cross-functional dependencies

• Growth Mindset: You add value by offering critical feedback to your manager, your team, and stakeholders to help them improve, and you expect and welcome the same from them

• Technical Skills:

  • Expert SQL skills

  • Strong command of the fundamentals of statistics
