About the role

Data Scientist role in OpenAI's FinEng team focusing on analytics and experimentation for checkout, payments, subscriptions, and pricing to drive revenue and improve global payment operations.

Responsibilities

  • Own checkout & payments analytics and experimentation across methods and locales (e.g., bank transfers, emerging rails), improving conversion while monitoring risk and latency.
  • Build and run the experimentation program for in-house checkout—define success metrics and guardrails, execute staged rollouts, and use offline incrementality when online tests aren’t feasible.
  • Create operational visibility and source-of-truth data with FinEng Data Engineering—land team-level metrics, SLAs, and self-serve dashboards that drive proactive action.
  • Lead subscription, retention, and monetization analytics—ship launch-readiness for new subscription features, reduce involuntary churn (e.g., targeted retrials/nudges), and develop elasticity/FX frameworks toward pricing optimality.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years in a quantitative role (data science, product analytics, or experimentation) in high-growth or fintech environments
  • Fluency in SQL and Python, with a track record designing and interpreting A/B tests and quasi-experiments
  • Experience building product metrics from scratch and operationalizing them for decision-making
  • Excellent communication skills with PMs, engineers, risk/finance partners, and executives
  • Strategic instincts beyond significance tests—clear thinking about tradeoffs (conversion vs. risk vs. cost vs. user experience)
