About the role

We’re hiring two Product Data Scientists to ground the decisions behind Captions in clear metrics, rigorous analysis, and a deep understanding of how people use the product. One person will embed with our iOS team and the other with our web team, working day to day with Product, Design, Engineering, and Data Engineering. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • A bachelor’s degree in a behavioral or quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience, with a strong statistical foundation
  • 3+ years of experience in product analytics or product data science, acting as the analytics voice within a consumer product team
  • High proficiency in SQL and either Python or R, including libraries such as pandas, NumPy, SciPy, or Tidyverse, with strong data-model reasoning and the ability to write and understand analytical code
  • Experience applying statistical analysis, experimental design, causal inference, and machine learning to product problems, with the judgment to choose an appropriately simple method and translate the result into a specific, actionable recommendation
  • Fluency using AI across exploration, analysis, experimentation, and modeling, including providing relevant context, debugging incorrect outputs, and converting repeatable work into reliable workflows
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain uncertainty and limitations, persuade technical and nontechnical partners, and lead decisions through to action
More about this role

Mirage is an AI video company focused on making creation dramatically easier. Our team tackles some of the hardest creative and technical challenges in generative media.

We get to rethink how people collaborate with AI that can actually do creative work with them—defining entirely new interaction paradigms for AI-native video tools. We make that possible by building multimodal agents that turn creative direction into edits, rendering engines that composite multiple layers of video and graphics, and generative video models trained from the ground up that create new media when needed.

All of this comes together in Captions, our creative workspace for generating, editing, and designing video. The technology behind Captions is now available more broadly: Tesseract gives any AI agent native video-editing capabilities, while developers can integrate our models into their own products through APIs.
