Data Scientist, Login & Sign Up

We are looking for a Product Data Scientist to join our Login & Signup team. This team owns the registration and authentication to the Asana app, with a special focus on the security and administrative needs of large organizations. As gatekeepers, we strive to balance two competing metrics, both critical to the success of Asana: passing through the gateway should be as easy as possible for legit users but as hard as possible for anyone else. As a consequence, we aim to combine best-in-class login user experience with best-in-class security compliance.

Asana's Data Science team helps us fulfil our mission by informing strategy, defining success metrics, and identifying new ways to deliver user value. Data scientists are at the crux of deepening our understanding of the customers and driving more business outcomes by leveraging experimentation, causal inference, statistical and machine learning techniques, and data storytelling.

This role is based in our Vancouver office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. Along with most Asanas, you’ll work from this office in person on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Most Asanas have the option to work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays. If you're interviewing for this role, your Talent Acquisition Partner will share more about the in-office requirements. 

What you’ll achieve

• Work closely with PMs and customers to understand the needs of IT admins of large enterprises, and identify features to satisfy those needs.
• Communicate and influence key product decisions using data.
• Design experiments that measure product progress, and own key performance metrics.
• Collaborate with other Data Science in the team to research, identify and disseminate best practices across teams.
• Work in a high-performance, dynamic team with a strong focus on velocity and software quality and learn about state-of-the-art authentication technologies, including different Single-Sign-On methods, Multi-Factor Authentication, Identity Providers, SAML (Security Assertion Markup Languages)

About you

• Master’s or Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Math, Statistics, Engineering, a related quantitative field or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of experience in applying data science techniques to drive decision-making or develop technical applications.
• Expert in relational data modeling and SQL and fluent in at least one modern language useful for data processing (e.g. R, Python, or Scala).
• Familiar with statistical methods including experimental design, regression, causal inference with observational data and time series modeling.
• Experience in scoping and planning projects with cross-functional stakeholders and driving technical execution.
• Strong ability to communicate complex concepts to diverse audiences, and craft compelling and actionable recommendations.

At Asana, we're committed to building teams that include a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills, as this is critical to helping us achieve our mission. If you're interested in this role and don't meet every listed requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
