Staff Data Scientist, Finance – Consumption Forecasting

Location: San Francisco or New York | Hybrid (3 days per week in office)

Salary: $240-300k base + bonus + equity (RSUs)

This is a rare chance to own forecasting infrastructure at the center of a high-growth, consumption-based developer platform, one that powers some of the world’s most dynamic applications and scales with every developer and enterprise building on it.

As a consumption-based business, forecasting usage across compute, bandwidth, edge, and storage isn’t a support function. It’s foundational to how we plan infrastructure, revenue, and long-term strategy. This role exists to lead that work at the highest level.

What you’ll own

This is a senior individual contributor role with organization-wide impact. You’ll define forecasting methodology, build systems that scale with a rapidly growing platform, and sit at the intersection of Finance, Infrastructure, Product, and GTM with direct visibility to executive leadership.

  • Own production revenue forecasting end-to-end: model development, backtesting, deployment, monitoring, and iteration from first principles to live system
  • Build forecasting systems that account for usage-based pricing dynamics, consumption patterns, and customer lifecycle across the platform, built for how this business actually works, not retrofitted SaaS models
  • Design hierarchical forecasting models across account, cohort, segment, and global aggregate levels, covering operational, quarterly, and long-range planning cycles
  • Establish backtesting, monitoring, and explainability standards that make forecast accuracy transparent and defensible
  • Build scenario simulation frameworks to evaluate pricing changes, packaging adjustments, and product launches
  • Partner with Finance on board-level reporting, with Infrastructure Engineering on capacity planning, and with Product and GTM on adoption curves and usage drivers
  • Set forecasting best practices across the broader Data organization

What we’re looking for

  • 7+ years in data science, quantitative analytics, or applied statistics at senior or staff level
  • Deep expertise in time-series forecasting and statistical modelling in a usage-based or SaaS environment
  • Proven track record building and productionizing ML systems at scale
  • Strong Python and SQL, with experience on large-scale usage and billing datasets
  • Familiarity with probabilistic modelling, hierarchical forecasting, and causal inference
  • Experience partnering with Finance or executive leadership on planning cycles
  • Comfortable operating autonomously in fast-moving, ambiguous environments

Nice to have

  • Background in cloud infrastructure, developer tools, or consumption-based revenue models
  • Familiarity with modern data stacks: Snowflake, Delta Lake, dbt, Airflow
  • Prior technical mentorship or informal leadership experience

  • Present findings and recommendations to leadership through compelling data storytelling and executive presentations
  • Guide and mentor less experienced team members on project execution and analytical methodologies
  • Build scalable processes and analytical frameworks that improve business performance over time

  • Strong understanding of predictive modeling, segmentation, experimentation, and statistical analysis
  • Proven track record of influencing business decisions through data-driven recommendations
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex concepts to executive audiences
  • Experience leading initiatives independently with minimal direction
  • Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Engineering, or a related discipline

Nice to Have

  • Master’s degree in a quantitative discipline
  • Experience within financial services, consumer lending, real estate, healthcare, or other regulated industries
  • Background in risk management, portfolio analytics, or credit-related modeling
  • Exposure to model validation, governance, audit, or regulatory review processes
  • Knowledge of cloud-based data environments including AWS and Snowflake
  • Experience utilizing bureau data, scorecards, or advanced forecasting methodologies

Why This Role

  • High-visibility role with regular interaction with executive leadership
  • Opportunity to drive business outcomes through production-ready analytics and machine learning
  • Strong autonomy and ownership over projects and strategy
  • Work on initiatives with measurable multi-million-dollar business impact
  • Mentor and influence without direct people-management responsibilities
