Job Summary

The Data Science & Analytics organizations mission is to increase our speed frequency and acumen of making decisions at scale by instilling a data-influenced approach to building products. We cover a wide area of the data spectrum including analytical data engineering product analytics experimentation causal inference statistical modeling and machine learning. Aligned and partnering with product groups we use this vast tool belt to discover new opportunities and unmet use cases influence and shape the product roadmap and prioritization build data products and measure the impact on our community of players and developers.

Roblox is used by tens of millions of people every day across almost all devices (mobile desktop console VR etc.). Our users expect top-notch app performance: lightning-quick launches buttery smooth animations and rock-solid stability. As a Data Scientist on the team you will partner with engineers product managers and leaders across the company in our efforts to create the best app experience on any device for Roblox. This area is pivotal to our companys success directly impacting all users and being one of Robloxs highest priorities. You will define KPIs and measure the impact of key performance improvements while leveraging statistics analytics and experiments to influence decisions and strategies related to enhancing the performance and reliability of the Roblox app.

You Will:

Define and measure success metrics for App performance. Determine which performance metrics matter to end users and how app performance impacts user engagement and monetization.
Establish an understanding of the trade-offs between different performance levers and use these insights to influence strategies ensuring right-sized investments that optimize business growth and user experience.
Access raw data transform it analyze it and present it in a compelling and understandable way. Perform deep dives to uncover new insights and opportunities.
Operationalize and scale metrics monitoring by building tools that enable quick slicing and dicing of data as well as root cause analysis. Collaborate with engineers to detect and investigate abnormal trends identifying opportunities for improvement.
Use A/B experiments and causal inference methods to evaluate the success of feature launches.
Navigate ambiguity and work with stakeholders across various organizations including User Growth Engine and Creator teams.

You Have:

An advanced degree or equivalent experience in Statistics Applied Math Physics Engineering Computer Science Economics or a related quantitative field.
