  • Define and maintain company-wide metrics across product usage, performance, and customer lifecycle

  • Enable self-service analytics through agents and tools, with well-structured semantic layers and context

  • Ensure data reliability and quality through testing, documentation, and governance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Understanding of inference metrics such as latency, throughput, token usage, and model performance

  • Experience supporting B2B SaaS and/or consumption-based platforms

  • Application of forecasting and predictive modeling (e.g., ARIMA, Prophet) to business processes

BENEFITS

  • Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity.

  • 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents

  • Flexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day!)

  • Paid parental leave

  • Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot

  • Company-facilitated 401(k)

  • Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.
