TextNow, Inc., Waterloo, ON +1
We’re looking for a business-minded Data Scientist who pairs strong technical skills with sound judgment about which problems are worth solving. You’ll partner with product, marketing, finance, engineering, and trust & safety to turn ambiguous questions into rigorous analyses, models, and experiments — and then turn the results into decisions.
The problems are real and the data is large: understanding what drives user acquisition, engagement, and retention; improving monetization across ads and subscriptions; measuring the impact of product changes; and helping keep our network safe from fraud and abuse. You’ll own work end to end, from framing the question to landing the recommendation with leadership.
Experience comes in many forms – skills are transferable, and passion goes a long way. We know that diversity makes for the best problem-solving and creative thinking, which is why we’re dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team. If this role excites you but you don’t meet every point above, we’d still love to hear from you.
The expected base salary range for this role is:
Canada Intermediate: CAD $113,400 - $162,000 annually
Our total rewards package goes beyond base salary. We offer a comprehensive benefits program, an annual performance-based bonus, and equity opportunities that ensure you share in the success you help create.
We know that exceptional talent doesn’t always fit neatly into a range, so if you’re passionate about our mission and think you can make a difference, we encourage you to apply, even if your compensation expectations are outside the listed range. Final compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including your skills, experience, and location.
Our goal is to offer a competitive package that reflects the impact and expertise you bring to the team.
This posting is for a current, active vacancy.
