Data Scientist, Product

More than 3 billion people in over 180 countries use WhatsApp to stay in touch with friends and family, anytime and anywhere. In Brazil, it is also where a great deal of everyday life gets done — people message businesses, coordinate their families, and increasingly send money as easily as they send a message.

We are building a new team to take WhatsApp further in that direction. The newly established WhatsApp Services team is focused on making WhatsApp more useful for more of what people already use it for, and on building what comes next.

This Data Science leader for Brazil will oversee the newly established WhatsApp Services team, treated as a zero-to-one effort so we can move fast, take risks, and build as we go. We are looking for a hands-on leader who can roll up their sleeves and work as an individual contributor or org leader, based on the needs of the team.

As a data science leader at WhatsApp, you will use your start-up mindset and your full range of analytical leadership skills to produce well-designed, user-focused products. You’ll be expected to push the boundaries of what’s possible in a mobile app, while sharing in our commitment to quality and attention to detail. This is a role for someone who can hold both the ceiling and the floor: sets an ambitious long-term technical vision for what WhatsApp can become.
