Senior Data Scientist, Product Intelligence

fal is the generative media ecosystem powering the next generation of AI products. We build the infrastructure, tools, and model access that teams need to move from idea to production, and do it at scale without compromise. For developers and enterprises, fal is the foundation that makes generative media not just possible, but practical: a unified platform where high-performance inference, orchestration, and observability come together to unlock new categories of AI-native products.

As generative media reshapes industries across a market projected to grow by hundreds of billions over the next decade, fal is becoming the ecosystem that ambitious teams build on.

About this role:

As a Senior Data Scientist for Product Intelligence, you will architect the analytical foundation for how fal builds and grows. Your domain spans the entirety of the developer journey—from initial acquisition to long-term expansion. You will turn raw behavioral and system signals into the metrics and insights that shape our product roadmap and go-to-market strategy.

This is a high-influence role where you will act as a strategic partner to Product, Engineering, and Marketing. Beyond domain-specific analysis, you will share ownership of the foundational data systems, standards, and experimentation frameworks that serve as the source of truth for the entire company.

What you’ll do

• Architect the metrics that define user success on fal and build the measurement systems to track activation, retention, and time-to-value across both our self-serve and B2B pipelines.

• Develop a deep, causal understanding of how customers discover, adopt, and grow on the platform to identify key expansion levers and acquisition opportunities.

• Own the instrumentation standards and data contracts that serve as the source of truth for product telemetry and core behavioral schemas.

• Surface insights through rigorous deep-dives and experimentation to influence product direction, pricing models, and go-to-market initiatives.

• Develop scalable data products including automated experimentation frameworks and canonical schemas that enable teams to self-serve and move faster.

What we are looking for

• 5+ years of experience in data science or analytics roles-ideally with API products, developer tools, or B2B SaaS platforms

• Advanced-level SQL and proficiency in Python for analytics, modeling, and experimentation

• Strong proficiency with dbt and orchestration tools like Dagster or Airflow for production pipeline

• Proven ability to work across teams to influence product roadmap and strategy

• Experience establishing data quality and governance practices, including lineage, testing, and documentation.

• Demonstrated bias for action and the ability to thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.

• A track record of shipping data products or features, not just dashboards. You think like a Product Manager and build like an Engineer

Nice-to-haves

• Experience working on developer-facing products or platforms.

• Exposure to infrastructure, performance, or cost-related data (e.g., cloud usage, compute efficiency).

• Experience operating in early-stage or fast-scaling environments.

• Interest or experience in architecting data systems designed for agentic consumption and AI-driven product workflow

Compensation

• $190,000 - $230,000 + equity + comprehensive benefits package

What we offer at fal

• Interesting and challenging work

• A lot of learning and growth opportunities

• We offer visa sponsorship and will help you relocate to San Francisco.

• Health, dental, and vision insurance (US)

• Regular team events and offsites
