Senior Data Scientist
Dropbox
This is a rare opportunity to join a major company in a senior data role right out of college. At Dropbox, you'll work directly with product, engineering, and design teams to answer real questions that shape how millions of people use the platform. You'll own analytical projects from start to finish, which means building the kind of portfolio that gets noticed early in your career.
You'll spend your time running analytical deep-dives, designing and executing experiments to test hypotheses, and building segmentation models that drive user targeting and personalization. You'll also identify trends, create dashboards for executives, and turn data into narratives that influence business decisions. This is hands-on work—not meetings about meetings.
This role fits you if you have strong fundamentals in statistics, experience with analytics or data work (coursework, internships, or personal projects count), and you're comfortable with Python or SQL. A background in consumer behavior, marketing analytics, or A/B testing is valuable. You should be someone who thinks in questions and hypotheses, not just dashboards.
Apply through CareerJumpShip to submit your resume and portfolio. Be ready to show your work—examples of analyses, experiments you've designed, or models you've built matter more than credentials alone.
