  • Guide and inform Lightspark’s business operations, supporting Lightspark’s Legal, Finance, and Accounting teams to ensure Lightspark’s business operations are documented accurately. 

  • Analyzing large and complex datasets to guide Lightspark’s strategic priorities.

  • Experience understanding and applying statistical concepts (including causal inference, machine learning, and experimentation). 

  • Experience working as a full-stack Data Scientist, including writing data pipelines, modeling theory, writing code, and deploying applications in production systems.

  • Experience programming and modeling in Python and data analysis in Pandas / Numpy / SQL.

  • Experience with ETL, data pipelines, and workflow management tools such as Stitch, Fivetran, or Airflow.

  • Experience architecting and using massively parallel processing technology, such as Google Bigquery, Snowflake, Redshift, etc. 

  • Self-motivated and able to work independently

  • Willing to live or relocate to our HQ in Los Angeles, California
