Bumble Inc. is looking for a Data Scientist to join our Core Data Science team — helping to uncover the drivers of member behaviour and performance across our products. You’ll play a key role in shaping how we understand and segment our members, providing insights that directly inform product strategies and answer key business questions.

• Apply statistical and machine learning techniques (e.g., clustering, regression, classification) to support segmentation, and performance diagnostics.

• Translate complex analytical outputs into clear, commercially relevant insights and recommendations for decision-makers.

• Collaborate with data engineering and analytics teams to ensure data quality and reliable reporting foundations.

• Contribute to the development of measurement frameworks that evaluate the impact of pricing, product, and business initiatives.

• Proven ability to connect analytics to commercial outcomes — you think in terms of impact, trade-offs, and growth opportunities.

• Experience developing or using customer or behavioural segmentation frameworks.

• Skilled in data visualisation and storytelling, using tools such as Looker, Tableau.

• Excellent communicator with the ability to work cross-functionally and translate analytical findings into business language.

• A collaborative problem-solver with a curiosity for understanding how data influences business performance.

NICE TO HAVE

• Familiarity with attribution concepts and tooling (e.g., MMM outputs, SKAN-style constraints, channel reporting nuances)
• Experience with causal/incrementality thinking
• Experience working with product funnels or lifecycle metrics in a consumer app environment
• Experience in a multi-sided marketplace and understanding it’s nuance & trade-offs
