Hi there!

Zapier is hiring a Senior Data Scientist to join our growing Data team and help shape the future of our Ecosystem — the nearly 8,000 app connections and partner network that make Zapier the world’s most connected AI orchestration platform.

As a Senior Data Scientist at Zapier, you won’t just analyze data — you’ll build the systems and tools that turn insight into action. From designing partner intelligence models and ecosystem health frameworks to surfacing insights that drive adoption and enablement, your work will directly influence how Zapier strengthens its app network and empowers users to automate more with less friction.

You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional partners in Product, Engineering, Partnerships, and Growth, working alongside Data Warehouse Engineers to create scalable, reusable pipelines and analytical frameworks. Some of your work will directly power the product — enabling smarter recommendations, self-healing automations, and personalized partner experiences.

This is a high-impact opportunity for someone who blends technical excellence, product thinking, and creativity to build data products that support both internal decision-making and external-facing systems. You’ll help Zapier evolve from serving data as a service, to building intelligent, AI-informed data products that scale value across the ecosystem.

Our philosophy for hiring

• Our Commitment to Applicants

• Culture and Values at Zapier

• Zapier Guide to Remote Work

• Zapier Code of Conduct

• Diversity and Inclusivity at Zapier

• You’re technically fluent and hands-on. You bring senior-level experience—typically 5+ years—in data science or a related analytical role. You write production-grade Python (or R), write high-quality SQL, and design robust experiments and ML models that drive real-world impact. You’ve built systems that are as scalable as they are insightful.

• You think like a product builder. You design data products and models that don’t just explain what happened—they change what happens next. You thrive in ownership-heavy environments and approach problems like a PM: proactively ideating, prioritizing for impact, designing with users in mind, and iterating quickly.

• You’re fluent in AI and automation. You’re actively using modern AI tools (e.g. LLMs, AutoML, orchestration frameworks) to accelerate your workflows and solve new types of problems. You’re not just curious—you’re hands-on.

• You care deeply about quality and clarity. You hold a high bar for data instrumentation, statistical rigor, and communication. You simplify complexity, document thoroughly, and collaborate across technical and non-technical partners in a remote-first environment.

• You build for scale and enablement. You help teams define and own their KPIs, build self-serve dashboards, and use data to make better decisions faster. You create systems and documentation that make insight accessible—not just available.

• You value collaboration and knowledge sharing. You work effectively with teammates at all technical levels. You take ownership of filling knowledge gaps about the data products you manage and contribute to comprehensive documentation to elevate your peers with what you’ve learned.

• Build and deploy data products that serve both internal and external customers

• Develop scalable frameworks for efficiently deploying models and deriving actionable insights.

• Analyze user behavior to identify and explain key drivers of outcomes such as activation, engagement, upgrades, and churn.

• Collaborate with business teams to design, analyze, and interpret experiments aimed at improving key metrics.

• Conduct proactive research into high-potential areas, including defining data-driven customer segments and success signals to dynamically shape the product experience; identifying business risks and opportunities through attribution data; understanding which customers benefit most from Upmarket offerings; and figuring out how to boost Upmarket’s contribution to revenue generation.

• Ensure all teams data-driven insights and can answer their own first-order questions. Develop data literacy programs and provide easy-to-use tools with clear documentation, examples, and tutorials.

• Perform basic ETL tasks to model new dimensions and facts in our data warehouse’s dimensional model. For the heavier lifts, you’ll be supported by Data Warehouse Engineering colleagues.

• Work with tools such as SQL, Looker, dbt, Databricks, Airflow, Eppo, and Python or R.
