Responsibilities

• Query and analyze massive sets of usage data to identify product-improvement opportunities and actionable insights to profoundly impact our product strategy and roadmap.
• Create brief, high-quality reports to explain your findings and discuss their implications with the relevant team members.
• Screen the app stores and study competing products in search of insights and ideas we could learn from.
• Help direct the development of our technologies devoted to the acquisition, storage, and manipulation of big data, supporting our efforts to constantly break new ground in this field.
