At Mozilla, we want to protect the Internet as a global resource, open and accessible to all. We collect terabytes of data a day from millions of users to guide our decision-making. We could use your help.

As a manager on the data science team, you will own a critical piece of the Mozilla organization.  Data scientists work closely with our policy, legal, and business development teams to enable decisions and contribute insights that push our mission forward and in the right direction.  They build models and design experiments that improve our understanding about the operation of our business and products to ensure that we are optimizing our decisions for maximum impact on the market.  We are looking for an opinionated manager with technical chops who is excited to marshal a data science team to shape the future of the Web.  You will manage a small team of data scientists and will be responsible for career mentorship and technical guidance.  You will work with leadership to define and execute strategies that demonstrate the value of the data contributed by our users while maintaining an ethical set of principles to guide your practice.
