Where You Come In
This is a foundational, zero-to-one opportunity to build Luma's entire data science discipline from the ground up. As our first Data Scientist, you will be the architect of our data-driven culture, defining the north-star metrics that guide our strategy and building the source-of-truth systems that empower the entire company. This is not a role for running queries; you will be a strategic partner across product, growth, and research, uncovering the critical insights that will shape the future of our creative AI platform.

What You'll Do
  • Architect and Build our data science and data engineering infrastructure and source-of-truth dashboards from scratch, creating a self-serve platform that empowers the entire company.
  • Define and Champion the north-star metrics that guide our product, growth, and research initiatives, establishing a data-driven culture from the ground up.
  • Design and Analyze the key experiments that measure the impact of product changes, growth initiatives, and new model deployments on our users.
  • Partner Directly with leadership and embed across product, growth, and research teams to uncover and deliver the actionable insights that drive our strategy.
  • Translate complex data into clear, compelling narratives that drive alignment and decision-making across the organization.
Who You Are
  • You have 7+ years of experience in data science, ideally as a founding or lead data scientist or data engineer at a high-growth product or technology company.
  • You are a hands-on builder with experience creating and maintaining a modern data stack (e.g., ETL, data warehousing, visualization tools).
  • You are a proactive, first-principles thinker who is driven to define and implement core metrics and experimentation frameworks in an ambiguous environment.
  • You have a deep understanding of product analytics, growth metrics, and A/B testing methodologies.
  • You are an exceptional communicator and a natural collaborator, with a proven ability to build strong relationships and influence decision-making across all levels of an organization.
What Sets You Apart (Bonus Points)
  • Experience working with data from generative AI, creative tools, or media-rich products.
  • Familiarity with the data infrastructure required to support large-scale ML systems.
  • A strong portfolio of public-facing analyses, data visualizations, or open-source contributions.
  • Experience setting up a data science function from zero at a previous startup.
