Member Of Technical Staff (Data Scientist)

Perplexity is AI for people who expect more. This role brings that same standard to how our data team works - with AI at the center of everything we do. We're looking for someone who's been a great data scientist, analytics engineer, or data engineer - the kind of person who knows which metric actually matters, who can design an A/B test that answers the real question, who's gone deep on a data model because something didn't add up - and who has decided that the highest-leverage thing they can do next is build AI systems that fundamentally change how data science gets done. Not another text-to-SQL bot. Not another dashboard. You'll build AI agents that conduct full analyses autonomously - forming hypotheses, writing and running queries, interpreting results, and drafting recommendations. You'll make the entire data warehouse AI-readable so any system can query it accurately. You'll create self-healing pipelines that detect and fix data issues before anyone notices. You'll build the infrastructure that turns a small data team into one that operates at 10x its size. You'll join a data team that's already using AI across its workflows - but we know there's a much bigger opportunity ahead. We have buy-in from leadership to make it happen. Now we're building a team dedicated to taking what we've started and turning it into something world-class: scalable systems, new tools, and an AI-native way of working that doesn't just make us world-class - but pushes the entire industry forward.
