By bridging the gap between product adoption and commercial data, you will construct a holistic view of user health and the tangible value we provide.\nYou will take full ownership of the product-usage analytics lifecycle. This involves hands-on data exploration, hypothesis testing, and deep collaboration with Data and Analytics Engineers to architect the foundational models you require. Success is defined by analytical rigor and your ability to steer strategic product and Go-to-Market (GTM) decisions.\nEmbedded in our central Data & Insights department, this role serves as a strategic partner to our Product organisation, driving cross-functional synergy with other departments, engineering, and data science teams to maximize overall success.\nSuccess depends on genuinely understanding the product you're analyzing, not just the data behind it.\nWhat you will do\nUnderstand product usage. Work closely with product managers (PMs), building a deep understanding of the product itself, to analyze how customers adopt and use it, and identify patterns in engagement, feature usage, and retention.to Analyze how customers adopt and use the product, and identify patterns in engagement, feature usage, and retention.\n\nConnect usage to outcomes. Link product usage data to customer and sales data to reveal how usage relates to expansion, churn risk, and account health.\n\nDefine usage-based signals. Build the logic behind usage scoring, health indicators, and other metrics that translate behavior into insights that drive activation, retention, and expansion.\n\nBe proactive. Explore product, sales, and customer data to surface findings nobody asked for. Anticipate the next question.\n\nRun experiments and validate. Test which usage signals actually predict outcomes, applying sound statistical methods and being honest about significance and causality.\n\nPartner on the data foundation. Work with Data and Analytics Engineers to get product and sales data into the warehouse and modeled well. Define requirements and contribute to data models that connect product usage with customer and sales data.\n\nTell the story. Communicate insights clearly to stakeholders across the business, and document context, caveats, and decisions so the work survives handoffs.\n\nExperience and qualifications\nDeep product understanding and a track record of working effectively with PMs, translating product knowledge and usage data into decisions they act on.\n\nStrong analytical track record: someone who has measurably influenced revenue, product, or GTM decisions through analysis, not just produced reports.\n\nComfort with the latest AI tools, and a habit of using them to work faster and sharper: You stay current as the tooling evolves and bring new approaches to the team.\n\nEagerness to develop: you actively grow your skills, seek feedback, and treat new tools and methods as opportunities rather than threats.\n\nSolid SQL. You can independently query, join, and explore data without waiting for someone to prepare it for you.\n\nProficiency in Python for analysis, modeling, and automation. Experience with ML and statistical libraries (e.g. scikit-learn, statsmodels) for modeling, prediction, and inference.\n\nStatistical foundation: experimentation, significance testing, regression, segmentation, forecasting, and the judgment to know which applies.\n\nWorking knowledge of how product usage connects to revenue: funnels, cohorts, retention, account health, and the realities of joining product usage data with CRM and sales data.\n\nWillingness to get hands-on with data modeling. You don't need to be a dbt expert, but you must be comfortable exploring messy data and partnering on (or building) the models you need rather than waiting for clean tables.\n\nStrong communication and stakeholder skills: you can challenge weak measurement respectfully and make a recommendation, not just present options.\n\nProactivity and autonomy: you raise your hand early, plan your own work, and look for impact without being asked.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4189,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Application Security","Software Testing & QA","Developer Tools"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-08T12:30:55Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":55,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.768,"p_room":0.72,"age_days":53,"expected_fill_days":88,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:mid","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sonarsource-data-scientist-product-analytics","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sonarsource-data-scientist-product-analytics.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T08:42:32Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13048,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4925},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4925"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsonarsource-data-scientist-product-analytics"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsonarsource-data-scientist-product-analytics"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsonarsource-data-scientist-product-analytics"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sonarsource-data-scientist-product-analytics\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsonarsource-data-scientist-product-analytics"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":545915}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"sonarsource.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":545915},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
