The Developer Empowerment team at Square enables developers to be productive and effective by building foundational components, frameworks and tools that aid all stages of the software development life cycle. Data scientists on the team play a critical role in defining and implementing metrics that capture various aspects of SW development. They help our teams understand user needs and product gaps through better data and guide them in decision making and prioritization.

You Will:

• Design and implement metrics, dashboards, reports, and deep-dive analyses to measure how well we are meeting the needs of developers and our partner teams and inform where we should invest to improve software development at Square

• Apply a diverse set of tactics such as statistics, quantitative reasoning, and machine learning to research and produce insights

• Lead and coordinate on complex projects that extend beyond the traditional boundaries of product domains, analytics, and data science

• Communicate analysis and decisions to high-level partners and executives in verbal, visual, and written media

• Develop resources to empower data access and self-service so your expertise can be used where it is most impactful

• 2+ years of analytics experience, or equivalent

• Fluency with data, analytics, and visualization technologies (We primarily use SQL, Looker, and Python)

• Familiarity with fundamental software engineering tools such as version control software (we use Git) and build systems

• Experience with using, and ideally building, ETL pipelines to process large amounts of data

• Demonstrated ability to independently prioritize and lead analytics projects in collaboration with multiple product and engineering managers as an analytics partner

• Ability to clearly communicate complex results to technical and non-technical audiences in verbal, visual, and written media
