Docker is seeking a Data Scientist to join our Data Insights team. You will be a key individual contributor, applying statistical rigor and advanced analytical techniques to extract value from our product and business data. This role requires a strong understanding of product usage to provide actionable insights that drive business strategy and feature development.

This is a hands-on analytical role focused on independent execution, deep-dive analysis, and translating complex data into clear business recommendations. You'll work closely with Product Managers, Executive Leaders, and Engineering teams to define key metrics, measure product health, and inform data-driven decisions.

Success in this role requires a strong foundation in statistics, advanced SQL skills, and proven experience in product experimentation and reporting for a technical audience.

Responsibilities

Product Analytics & Experimentation

• Understand detailed usage of Docker products by analyzing user behavior data, translating complex questions into analytical plans, and building robust product metrics.

• Develop and maintain key performance indicators (KPIs) and operational metrics for product features and overall business health.

Strategic Insights & Reporting

• Provide actionable insights for Product Managers on user engagement, feature adoption, and growth opportunities to directly inform the product roadmap.

• Build deep dive reports for Executive Leaders on critical business trends and the performance of strategic initiatives, presenting findings in a clear, compelling narrative.

• Collaborate with engineering teams on data logging, instrumentation, and ensuring the accuracy of product data pipelines.

Technical Execution & Modeling

• Apply statistical modeling and machine learning techniques to solve business problems (e.g., churn prediction, segmentation, propensity modeling).

• Design and implement data visualizations and self-service dashboards to democratize data access across the organization.

• Ensure data quality and integrity for all analytical outputs and reports.

Collaboration & Communication

• Partner with cross-functional teams (Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales) to define data requirements and analytical objectives.

• Mentor junior analysts on best practices for data visualization, statistical analysis, and clear communication of results.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to translate open-ended business questions into structured analytical projects and deliverables.

Communication & Leadership

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present complex analytical findings to both technical and executive audiences.
