Austin, TX Hybrid Employment

Fliff is hiring a Senior Data Scientist

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain predictive models that drive marketing strategy, including player LTV, churn risk, CAC payback, and propensity-to-convert models
  • Own marketing attribution and incrementality analysis across paid channels (Meta, Google, TikTok, affiliates, influencers, etc.), helping the team understand what's actually driving growth
  • Quantify the causal impact and long-term business value of promotions, bonuses, and lifecycle campaigns, moving beyond surface-level engagement metrics to measure true incremental retention, monetization, and LTV impact
  • Apply causal inference techniques (geo experiments, synthetic control, diff-in-diff, CausalImpact, uplift modeling) to evaluate marketing investments where clean A/B tests aren't possible
  • Partner with growth marketers to design, run, and read out experiments: A/B tests, geo-tests, holdout studies, and creative tests
  • Develop and maintain dashboards and self-serve reporting that give marketing leaders real-time visibility into channel performance, cohort behavior, promo ROI, and funnel health
  • Clean, structure, and validate data across our marketing stack (ad platforms, MMP, internal event data, CRM) and partner with data engineering to improve our data models where needed
  • Translate complex analyses into clear, actionable recommendations for non-technical stakeholders
  • Continuously look for opportunities to automate, improve, and scale how the marketing team uses data

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience as a data scientist, marketing analyst, or growth analyst, ideally in a consumer app, gaming, fintech, or subscription business
  • Strong SQL skills and comfort working with large, messy behavioral datasets
  • Hands-on experience building predictive models in Python (LTV, churn, propensity, segmentation, etc.) using libraries like scikit-learn, XGBoost, or similar
  • Experience evaluating the long-term and incremental impact of marketing and promotional spend: you understand the difference between who responded and who was actually influenced
  • Working knowledge of causal inference methods (diff-in-diff, synthetic control, CausalImpact, uplift modeling, propensity scoring) and when to apply each
  • Solid grounding in marketing measurement concepts: attribution (MTA, MMM basics), incrementality, holdouts, cohort analysis, and unit economics (CAC, LTV, payback)
  • Experience with experimentation: designing tests, sizing them, and reading them out with statistical rigor
  • Proficiency with at least one BI/visualization tool (Looker, Tableau, Mode, Sigma, etc.)
  • Strong communication skills: you can explain a model to a marketer and a campaign result to a CFO with equal clarity
  • A bias toward action: you'd rather ship a useful 80% answer this week than a perfect one next quarter

Nice to Have

  • Experience with mobile measurement partners (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Singular) and/or paid media APIs
  • Familiarity with cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) and dbt
  • Background in gaming, sports betting, fantasy sports, or another high-velocity consumer category
  • Experience modeling promo and bonus economics in a gaming, fintech, or e-commerce context

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation package, including base salary, benefits, and equity.
  • Unlimited/Flexible paid time off.
  • Health benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, as well as generous parental leave.
  • Employee-sponsored 401(k).
  • $500 work-from-home stipend + Equipment & Accessories.
  • Opportunity for professional development in a dynamic, global setting.
  • A supportive, collaborative, and knowledge-driven workplace.
