Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Superhuman is an AI productivity platform whose suite includes Mail, Docs, Databases, and Go. The Data Scientist will partner with the Mail product team to define success metrics, design experiments, evaluate AI features, and use behavioral insights to drive acquisition, activation, retention, engagement, and expansion. The role also communicates findings to cross-functional partners and executives to support data-driven product decisions.
Responsibilities
- Be the embedded data science partner for the Mail core product team - shaping feature strategy, prioritization, and roadmap decisions with evidence, not just fielding ad hoc requests
- Define and own the metrics that matter for Mail: activation milestones, engagement depth, retention curves, and the leading indicators that tell us whether a new feature is actually changing how people work in their inbox
- Design and run experiments across the Mail product lifecycle - from onboarding and first-week activation to long-term habit formation - and build the measurement frameworks that separate signal from noise
- Shape the measurement strategy for Mail's AI features - Auto Drafts, Auto Labels, Auto Archive, Calendar, MCP, and the agentic capabilities on the roadmap - by defining quality frameworks and behavioral metrics that show whether AI is making users genuinely faster and more effective
- Figure out what makes Mail sticky: which features drive the deepest engagement, what the activation sequence looks like for users who become power users, and where in the funnel we're leaving value on the table
- Partner with product-led and sales-led growth to identify and quantify the levers that turn individual users into team expansions - and surface the product signals that predict conversion and churn
- Use data to craft remarkable product moments - turning behavioral insight into smarter onboarding flows, better feature discovery, and engagement nudges that feel natural rather than forced. This includes understanding how features such as Calendar scheduling and MCP-driven workflows change the way users interact with Mail on a day-to-day basis
- Communicate findings clearly to PMs, designers, engineers, and executives - from experiment readouts to strategic deep-dives - and help raise the bar on how the Mail team makes decisions with data
