Our vision is to build the next generation platform to enable easy and fast creation of audio and video content powered by cutting-edge AI. Building a revolutionary way to record, transcribe, edit, and mix spoken audio and video comes with a series of unique challenges and requires solving hard and complex problems. As a founding product data scientist on the team, you will play a critical role in shaping our growth strategy, up-leveling our experimentation culture, and scaling our business.

Conduct in-depth analysis to shape product PLG motion and B2B strategy. Brain buddy with product and engineering teams for day-to-day experiment design, deployment, and analysis. Provide creative solutions for tricky experimentation scenarios. 5+ years of experience in a Data Scientist or similar role. ~Strong knowledge of statistical analysis and A/B tests. ~ Strong SQL skills and proficient in at least one programming language such as Python or R. ~ At our current size and stage, we embrace a flat organizational structure and value the expertise and contributions of every team member.

As such, we have a unified job title for our engineering roles where everyone, including those with Staff-level scope, is considered a Data Scientist. While titles may not change, we are actively seeking a senior and above Data Scientist to join our team. Descript is building a simple, intuitive,



fully-powered editing tool for video and audio - an editing tool built for the age of AI.

We are a team of 140 - with a proven CEO and the backing of some of the world's greatest investors (OpenAI, Andreessen Horowitz, Redpoint Ventures, Spark Capital). Descript is the special company that's in possession of both product market fit and the raw materials (passionate user community, excellent product, large market) for growth, but is still early enough that each new employee has a measurable influence on the direction of the company.

We currently have offices in San Francisco and Montreal, and are open to folks working remotely between PT and ET time zones.
