Job Description
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 .
