Data Scientist, Support Job at OpenAI (San Francisco)

Job Description

We’re seeking a Support Data Scientist who will dig deep into user-support data—surfacing trends, volumes, and friction signals—and turn these findings into actionable insights and always-on reporting. You’ll design, build, and maintain self-serve dashboards that keep every stakeholder informed in real time, partnering closely with Data Science and Engineering to ensure clean pipelines, robust models, and scalable tooling. Think proactive friction detection and real-time service-health views that help us stay ahead of demand—delivering decision-grade insights, not just prettier slide decks.

Job Responsibility

Explore large support and product datasets to uncover trends, volume drivers, and user-experience pain points, distilling findings into clear, actionable narratives
Build, enhance, and maintain self-serve dashboards and reporting tools, enabling non-technical teams to answer their own data questions
Establish a unified metrics taxonomy for service-health and performance—and build automated data-sharing pipelines and scorecards with our BPO partners to ensure everyone operates from the same real-time view of success
Leverage LLMs to build bespoke classifiers that automatically label and segment inbound volumes—powering smarter routing, richer self-serve insights, and swifter root-cause analysis
Partner with Data Engineering to ensure reliable pipelines, implement data-quality checks, and document sources of truth
Jump into high-priority special projects to conduct bespoke deep-dive analyses and deliver clear, strategic recommendations to leadership
Prototype quickly—leveraging ChatGPT, Jupyter notebooks, Retool, and other tools—to prove value before hardening with Engineering
Collaborate with Data Science on predictive models and experimentation, translating results into operational recommendations

Requirements

8+ years in analytics, business intelligence, or data science (experience with customer support or operations teams is a plus)
Expert-level SQL skills and proficiency in Python or R for advanced analysis and automation
Hands-on experience designing and maintaining BI dashboards (e.g. Looker, Mode, Tableau, Sundial) with a focus on clarity and self-serve usability
Hands-on experience fine-tuning or prompt-engineering LLMs to build text classifiers, sentiment analysis, or tagging systems
Demonstrated ability to translate complex datasets into clear business stories and recommendations for both technical and non-technical audiences
Familiarity with support metrics (SLAs, FCR, deflection) and ability to define service health KPIs
Strong cross-functional communication skills—comfortable collaborating daily with engineers, data scientists, and operations leaders
An eye for detail, a zero-defect mindset, and a bias toward action over theoretical perfection
Possess a strong bias for automation and can defend governance decisions that keep data and processes healthy as they grow
Thrive in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where priorities can shift quickly
