Direct impact on product strategy — your work shapes what we build, how we prioritize, and how we measure success.
Work across product, engineering, data, marketing, and finance — one of the most cross-functional roles in the company.
Build from 0 → 1 — define how we use data to drive product decisions at OpenArt.
High ownership, low process, fast iteration environment.

🎯 About the Role

We're looking for a Data Scientist to be our first DS hire in the US (we have a DataAnalyst based in Shenzhen) and help build OpenArt's data science function from the ground up.

This role sits at the intersection of product, analytics, and experimentation —focused on turning data into product decisions that move the needle for millions of creators.

You'll work closely with cross-functional teams including Product, Engineering, Data Engineering, Marketing, and Finance. By applying your technical skills, analytical mindset, and product intuition, you will help our customers improve their creative experience and help OpenArt identify and solve product development's biggest challenges.

🛠 What You’ll Do

Product leadership: use data to shape product development, quantify new opportunities, set goals, identify upcoming challenges, and ensure the products we build bring value to our customers.
Analytics: develop hypotheses and employ a diverse toolkit of rigorous analytical approaches — different methodologies, frameworks, and technical techniques — to test them.
Experimentation: design, run, and analyze A/B tests and other causal experiments; help establish the experimentation culture and standards across the company.
Metrics and measurement: define and own key product metrics, build dashboards, and ensure leaders and teams have accurate, trusted data to make decisions.
User and behavioral analysis: deep-dive into how users create, share, and engage on OpenArt to surface insights that drive retention, engagement, and monetization.
Communication and influence: convince and influence your partners by telling clear data stories — translate complex analyses into crisp recommendations for PMs, engineers, and execs.
Cross-functional partnership: collaborate with Data Engineering on instrumentation and pipelines, with Product/Eng on feature design and measurement, and with Marketing/Finance on growth and revenue analytics.
Build the function: establish DS best practices, mentor over time, and help shape the team as it grows.
