About the Team

As a member of our team, you'll build solutions that improve the experience of millions of daily active users on our platform and create tools that keep both streamers and viewers engaged and connected on our platform. 

About the Role


Data is central to Twitch's decision-making process, and data scientists are a critical component to evangelize data-driven decision making in all of our operations. As a data scientist at Twitch, you will be on the ground floor with your team, shaping the way product performance is measured, defining what questions should be asked, and scaling analytics methods and tools to support our growing business, leading the way for high quality, high velocity decisions for your team. 

As part of the Community Health team at Twitch, you will work directly with product teams to support the safety and well-being of our creators, viewers, and moderators. You will help shape the way we build operational processes, delivering formative insights about the health and safety of our communities, measuring the impact of product improvements and policy changes, and charting a course for future product design and strategy.

You will report to the Data Science Manager for Community Health and Customer Trust and your work will pave the way for high-quality, high-velocity product development that will lead to safer, more rewarding community interactions across the platform. 

You Will:



  • Become a domain expert in the design of product features to support safer and more rewarding interactions within online communities.

  • Distill ambiguous product or strategy questions, find clever ways to answer them, and to measure the uncertainty; translate product and strategy questions into metrics, and work with data engineers to dashboard these metrics.

  • Design and evaluate A/B tests and experiments to measure the effectiveness of front-end product improvements and algorithmic machine learning systems.

  • Produce ad-hoc reports and insights that help teams move forward with time-sensitive product and strategy decisions.

  • Maintain a culture of high-quality output and engagement with team members; communicate technical information to technical and non-technical partners; manage ad hoc requests and unexpected obstacles.

You Have:



  • BA/BS in Analytics, Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, or equivalent industry experience

  • 3+ years of experience as a data scientist or data analyst in a high velocity, data-driven environment

  • 3+ years of machine learning/statistical modeling data analysis tools and techniques, and parameters that affect their performance experience

  • Expert SQL skills and proficiency in Python/R

  • Experience using data to create insight, drive business decisions and influence leadership

Bonus Points



  • MS/MA or higher in Analytics, Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related technical field

  • Experience in a data science team working on customer software products, analytics, and insights
