• Help the Data Science team apply and generalize statistical and econometric models on large datasets
• Drive the collection of new data and the refinement of existing data sources, develop relationships with production engineering teams to manage our data structures as the Stripe product evolves
• Develop strong subject matter expertise and manage the SLAs for those data pipelines

Some things you might work on:

• Develop unified user data schemas and tables that provide a complete view of the business across our various products such as Stripe Connect, Atlas, or Sigma and our user segments
