About the Role

You will own the quality of the metrics themselves. Our data scientists build them; you decide whether they can be trusted before release decisions are made. This role requires understanding the metric's implementation, the product, and the users' needs to identify potential issues.

Responsibilities

  • Own the acceptance of new and changed metrics, ensuring they count what they should and that the implementation aligns with expectations.
  • Build and maintain the case space for each metric, covering all situations it must handle, including those where it should remain silent.
  • Hunt for silent failures where a metric should report a defect but does not.
  • Read the implementation against the case space to identify unhandled real-world situations.
  • Build necessary test data, sourcing it efficiently and seeking better methods.
  • Present findings to engineers with concrete examples and impact analysis.
  • Consider the perspective of metric consumers to ensure metrics reveal degradations across datasets.
  • Own the release cycle for metrics, qualifying each release and maintaining regressions.
  • Improve the speed and cost-efficiency of the metrics release cycle.

Requirements

  • 6+ years in software testing or test engineering, with depth in data-heavy or analytical systems.
  • Strong Python and SQL skills for analysis scripts and independent reference computations.
  • Statistical literacy, including distributions, variance, sample size, and aggregation traps.
  • Product thinking: understanding the purpose of a number before testing it.
  • Conviction to challenge assumptions and see findings through with evidence.
  • Fluent use of LLMs as a working tool for analysis, test-data generation, code reading, and reasoning.
  • Clear written English for communicating findings to stakeholders.
