Company mission
We’re building the next century of shopping, making it feel human, communal, and alive again.
Role
Who you are
- You must be an ambitious, curious, relentless and no ego problem-solver excited to build the future of shopping
- 3+ years in data science or analytics roles
- Experience at a fast-paced startup
- Proven ability to work independently and drive 0→1 analytics initiatives
- Fluency with SQL and a scripting language (Python or R)
- Comfortable owning both data pipelines and business logic—you care about clean joins and smart questions
- Excellent communicator—whether with dashboards, written summaries, or Loom videos
- Strong product and business intuition—you know what matters and what doesn’t
- Nice to have: experience with dbt, dagster, Metabase, or Snowflake
What the job involves
- Build the data foundation and analytical systems that drive Tilt’s product and strategic decisions
- You’ll operate within a centralised Data team that partners cross-functionally across Product, Ops, and Marketing
- In the short term, your work will span the full business. As we grow, we expect to evolve toward a hybrid model, embedding Data Scientists more closely within individual teams—so this is a chance to help shape that transition from day one
- Your success will be defined by your ability to translate complex data into product and operational clarity—and build scalable systems others can leverage
- 0–3 Months
- Establish foundational metrics: Define and align on our core KPIs with stakeholders across product, ops, and leadership
- Audit & improve data infrastructure: Partner with engineering to document and upgrade our data sources and ETL pipelines
- Own dashboards & self-serve tools: Stand up (or refine) tools like Metabase to make insights accessible to the full team
- Develop taxonomies & definitions: Create a shared vocabulary across product and ops (e.g., “active user,” “successful transaction”)
- Ship analyses that matter: Run deep-dives on usage, retention, or activation patterns and present key findings cross-functionally
- 3+ Months
- Scale our analytics culture: Enable others through education, process, and documentation. You’ll turn yourself into a multiplier
- Lead cross-functional initiatives: Work closely with product and ops on growth experiments, operational bottlenecks, and behavioural insights
- Harden and evolve the analytics stack: Own continuous improvements to data quality, modelling, and warehouse efficiency
- Become a strategic partner: Collaborate closely with leadership on strategic questions—customer segmentation, pricing experiments, expansion bets
- We work with a modern, scalable data stack:
- Data & Infrastructure: Snowflake, S3, OpenSearch, AWS Lambda & Batch, Dagster, dbt
- Analytics & Experimentation: Amplitude, Appsflyer, Metabase
- Orchestration & Modeling: Dagster for pipelines, dbt for transformations, and a strong experimentation layer across tools
- You’ll help shape insights and build models in a fast-moving, data-rich environment

Our take
Online shopping's popularity has surged rapidly, yet its fundamental experience has remained largely unchanged since its inception. TILT is building a transformative social commerce product for young adults that reflects a new paradigm in consumer culture driven by Gen-Z.
The landscape of social commerce, involving the direct sale of products through social media platforms, is undergoing explosive expansion. In fact, this market is predicted to surpass one trillion US dollars by 2028. TILT stands as an ambitious startup with aspirations to become a linchpin in the global commerce arena.
Considerable funding will help TILT achieve this goal, as it invests in efforts to build on the success of its live-shopping app. While industry titans such as Facebook, TikTok, and Klarna are fervently innovating with shopping-oriented formats and features, the ultimate breakthrough remains elusive - giving TILT a real opportunity to stand out.
