About the job
About the Role
Join Salla as a Lead Staff Data Scientist specializing in Product Analytics, where you will spearhead the complete product analytics lifecycle. In this pivotal role, you will be responsible for establishing event instrumentation standards, developing tracking plans, and creating measurement frameworks that underpin every product launch, feature enhancement, and checkout optimization with solid data.
Your expertise will help shape Salla’s experimentation framework, defining the methodologies for A/B testing, establishing guardrail metrics, executing SRM checks, and assessing statistical power alongside minimum detectable effects. Collaborating closely with Product and Engineering teams, you will ensure that measurement practices are integrated into the development process from the outset, rather than being an afterthought.
This position is perfect for individuals who understand that exceptional product decisions stem from robust data, and who aspire to construct the analytical foundation for the leading e-commerce enabler in Saudi Arabia.
