Data Scientist
Job Description
About the team
Zillow Group’s mission is to help more people get home. We’re currently seeking a Data Scientist to join the Partner Analytics team! We’re passionate about understanding the customer journey on our platforms through meticulous analysis and measurement. We strive to ensure that agents have the tools and information needed to support the home buying journey.
The team works closely with the senior leaders, the product organization, and other data science teams to discover strategic opportunities in areas spanning the Follow Up Boss sales funnel, monthly business reviews, and supporting development of data pipelines and AI driven product launches for both the Zillow and Follow Up Boss brands. We have a flat team structure and you will soon find yourself communicating directly with Senior Leadership.
About the role
In this role, you’ll work closely with Zillow’s Premier Agent and Follow Up Boss product teams to discover deep insights about the agent and customer funnels through experiments and advanced analytics, and use this data to influence business strategy and build product roadmaps. More specifically, this role will:
-
Design and implement A/B Tests, read test results, and provide recommendations to the product roadmap
-
Apply advanced analytics including clustering, propensity modeling, and other explanatory and causal inference techniques to gain a clearer picture of customer behavior
-
Collaborate with product and engineering teams to discuss problems, design analytics framework, pull in the most relevant data for the business, and develop solutions
-
Proactively identify areas of opportunity in the PA and Follow Up Boss businesses, operational processes, and product suite to drive improvements in business metrics, cross-sell revenue, and customer sales funnels
This role has been categorized as a teleworker position. Teleworkers do not have a permanent corporate office workplace and, instead, work from a physical location of their choice which must be identified to the Company. Employees may live in any part of Mexico, but preferably in Mexico City, as we would encourage attendance for occasional in-office events.
In addition to a competitive base salary and benefits, this position is also eligible for equity awards based on factors such as experience, performance and location.
Who you are
You are a curious and passionate problem-solver who will not shy away from complexity or uncertainty! Come join us and use your expertise to help us find opportunities and guide our business into the future with powerful insights and recommendations.

-
An undergraduate or Master’s degree in a quantitative field (e.g. science, engineering, economics, quantitative finance, operations research, statistics, or similar) or proven experience within business analytics
-
5+ years of work experience involving quantitative data analysis and complex problem solving
-
A strong understanding of statistical concepts, measurement issues, and inference techniques
-
Proficiency in SQL, Excel, and either Python or R, along with some experience with Tableau, Mode, or other visualization software
-
Superb verbal and written communication skills with the ability to distill complex issues and detailed analysis into simple, structured frameworks with concrete action plans
