First Data Scientist hire for an AI storytelling platform to build data science practice and influence product strategy.
Responsibilities
- We're looking for a Data Scientist to be our first DS hire in the US (we have a Data Analyst based in Shenzhen) and help build OpenArt's data science function from the ground up.
- This role sits at the intersection of product, analytics, and experimentation — focused on turning data into product decisions that move the needle for millions of creators.
- You'll work closely with cross-functional teams including Product, Engineering, Data Engineering, Marketing, and Finance . By applying your technical skills, analytical mindset, and product intuition, you will help our customers improve their creative experience and help OpenArt identify and solve product development's biggest challenges.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or above in a quantitative discipline: Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Economics, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
- Minimum 3 years of work experience in analytics or data science
- Expert SQL and strong Python skills
- Deep understanding of statistical analysis, experimentation design, and common analytical techniques such as regression and decision trees
- Strong product intuition — able to connect numbers to user behavior and product decisions
- Strong verbal and written communication skills; able to tell clear data stories to both technical and non-technical audiences
- A humble, collaborative, can-do attitude and natural curiosity
- High ownership, fast execution, and strong attention to detail
Nice to have

- Experience working with consumer products, marketplaces, or creator/UGC platforms
- Familiarity with experimentation platforms and causal inference methods
- Experience with BigQuery, Amplitude, Metabase, or similar tools in data stack

- Exposure to AI/ML products or generative AI
- Comfort working across time zones with a globally distributed team
Conditions
- First Data Scientist hire in the US — set the bar, shape the function, and build the foundation of OpenArt's data science practice.
- Direct impact on product strategy — your work shapes what we build, how we prioritize, and how we measure success.
- Work across product, engineering, data, marketing, and finance — one of the most cross-functional roles in the company.
- Build from 0 → 1 — define how we use data to drive product decisions at OpenArt.
- High ownership, low process, fast iteration environment.
- 7–10X revenue growth over the past 2 years — now scaling our data and analytics infrastructure to match.
- Competitive base salary and bonus program
- Equity — meaningful ownership in what you build
- High autonomy, high growth environment
