Senior Customer Data Science - Solutions / Experimentation

As a Customer Data Scientist at Datadog, you will partner directly with customers to help them design, execute, and scale high-impact experimentation programs. This role is ideal for someone with deep experience in applied experimentation who thrives in customer-facing environments and is motivated by driving measurable business outcomes. You will guide customers through experiment design, metric development, and data validation, helping them build trustworthy, decision-driven experimentation practices. Working cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and Engineering, you’ll play a key role in both customer success and product evolution.

What You’ll Do:

• Serve as a technical and analytical partner to customers across pre-sales and post-sales engagements, demonstrating the value of Datadog’s experimentation capabilities.
• Support proofs of concept by helping customers define metrics, validate data pipelines, and design statistically sound experiments.
• Educate customers on best practices in experiment design and interpretation across product, marketing, pricing, and AI-driven use cases.
• Enable long-term customer success by building strong experimentation practices and analytical rigor within their teams.
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering to translate customer feedback into product improvements and roadmap input.
• Partner with Sales and Solutions teams to navigate complex customer needs, address objections, and build trusted relationships.

Who You Are:

• 4+ years of experience in data science with a strong foundation in statistics, causal inference, and experimental design in applied business or product contexts.
• Hands-on experience running A/B tests and applying advanced experimentation methods such as holdouts, bandits, synthetic controls, or geo-based testing.
• Fluent in SQL and comfortable working with data warehouses and pipelines to diagnose and resolve data quality issues.
• Experienced in customer-facing, consulting, or pre-sales environments, with the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly to diverse audiences.
• Skilled at translating analytical insights into business impact, influencing decisions across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience with experimentation platforms, analytics tooling, or modern data stack technologies (e.g., dbt, Airflow) is a plus.
