Data Analyst / Data Scientist (Autonomous Role) at GitBook

You’ll work at the intersection of data, product, and business, partnering closely with teams across GitBook.

• Work with product and engineering to identify opportunities, define metrics, run experiments, and influence the roadmap

• Turn messy questions into analysis, insights, and actions that improve product and company metrics

• Collaborate with the Head of Data on our data architecture, foundations, and long-term vision

• Evolve our data models, pipelines, instrumentation, and tooling as our needs change

• Decide when to build, buy, or use lightweight solutions to solve data problems efficiently

• Take our existing internal data agent to the next level, making it more useful and accessible across the company

• Help teams across GitBook become more autonomous and effective in how they use data

You’ll have the freedom to shape both what we build and how we work with data.

🧰 What environment will you be working in?

Our stack today includes:

• GCP — BigQuery, Composer

• dbt — Cloud / via Cursor

• Replit — data apps & internal tooling

• Tableau / Count — analysis & exploration

• Amplitude / Segment — product & event data

We don’t expect you to know everything. What matters is that you’re comfortable learning, evaluating tools, and evolving a modern data environment.

🧠 What we value

Product mindset: You’re curious about users and how the product works. You want to understand behavior, find opportunities, and see your work translate into better product decisions and measurable outcomes.

Ownership & judgment: You’re comfortable taking an ambiguous problem and figuring out what to do next. You know when to go deep, move fast, build, buy, or keep things simple.

Technical depth: You’re strong with SQL, data modeling, analytics, and modern data tooling. You can move comfortably between analysis, data foundations, and building practical solutions.

Collaboration: You work well across product, engineering, growth, marketing, and leadership. You can challenge assumptions, communicate clearly, and bring people along.

Bias for impact: You care about what changes because of your work — not just what gets shipped.

🎯 Why this role?

You’ll have a broad scope and a lot of autonomy.

Your work will directly influence:

• Product and company metrics

• Product priorities and roadmap decisions

• Experiments and growth initiatives

• Our data foundations and architecture

• How people across GitBook use data and AI

If you like owning problems, shaping the solution, and seeing your work directly impact the product, you’ll have a lot of room to make a difference here.

👥 Join GitBook at a pivotal time as we evolve our product and team. This is a chance to shape our product, craft, and culture.
