Principal Data Scientist

SUPERHUMAN ๐Ÿ‘‰

We exist so that professionals end each day feeling happier, more productive, and closer to achieving their potential.

Today we areโ€ฆ

  • The fastest email experience in the world
  • Loved and adored: see what our customers say

Our customers get through their inboxes twice as fast; many see inbox zero for the first time in years.

Come shape the future of email, communication, and productivity!

BUILD LOVE ๐Ÿ’œ

At Superhuman, we deeply understand how to build products that people love. We incorporate fun and play; we infuse magic and joy; we make experiences that amaze and delight.

It all starts with the right team โ€” a team that deeply cares about values, customers, and each other.

CREATE MASSIVE IMPACT ๐Ÿš€

We're not solving a small problem, and we're not addressing a small market. We're going after email; the one activity that consumes more of our work day than any other.

Our ambition doesn't stop there. Next: calendars, team collaboration, notes, contacts, and tasks. We are building the productivity platform of the future.

DO THE BEST WORK OF YOUR LIFE ๐ŸŒŸ

We have created the frameworks for how to build product market fit and redefined the narrative of how to onboard customers successfully. We have shown the world itโ€™s possible to build a premium productivity brand. Our investors include Andreessen Horowitz, First Round Capital, IVP, Tiger Global Management, Sam Altman, and the founders of Gmail, Dropbox, Reddit, Discord, Stripe, GitHub, AngelList, and Intercom.

Looking ahead, weโ€™re swinging beyond the fences and fundamentally rethinking how individuals and teams should collaborate. We are building a household brand and a worldwide organization. We are here to do the best work of our lives, and we hope you are too.

As a Principal Data Scientist, youโ€™ll accelerate our journey to achieving our vision by leading product analytics for our core product experience, partnering closely with Product Managers and our executive team to uncover deep insights about our users and using that information to craft the next evolution of the Superhuman product.

  • Empathy: You strive to approach projects from stakeholdersโ€™ and usersโ€™ point of view in order to produce the best outcome for all parties

  • Ownership: You autonomously define, roadmap, and deliver large-scale projects, anticipating and resolving roadblocks and cross-functional dependencies

  • Technical Skills:
    • Expert SQL skills
