Your responsibilities will include:

  • Work with client engineers to design schemas for client side tracking events and subsequently implement these tracking events across the app
  • Work with infrastructure and ML engineers to incorporate relevant features into our feed ranking models
  • Identify opportunities to improve content liquidity and relevance through deeply understanding the engagement ecosystem -- and the feed ranking pipeline in particular -- which will then improve user experience and drive business value for Nextdoor
  • Clearly communicate complex feed concepts to a variety of stakeholders outside of the product development team, including Finance & Strategy, Customer Support, and Company Leadership
  • Obsess over the operational performance of your product area by proactively managing key metrics and partnering with engineering and other stakeholders to deliver outcomes on time


What You’ll Bring To The Team

  • Deep analytical expertise with the ability to engage directly with a broad spectrum of engineers (Analytics Engineers, Client Engineers, ML Engineers, Infrastructure Engineers) and contribute to technical decision making
  • Strong attention to detail, paying attention to pixel-level details and edge cases, innate curiosity at understanding unexpected data, and holding a high bar for quality from yourself and others
  • Comfort working across the product development spectrum: strategy, ideation, product specifications, technical implementation details, development, and QA
  • Ability to experiment and learn quickly, and iterate on the user experience to provide value for our users and for the business
  • Proficient with writing SQL queries and analyzing results in your tool of choice (e.g Pandas)
  • Bonus points for product managers who have worked on foundational infrastructure in the past, including building tracking and instrumentation systems and/or rebuilding the infrastructure for a core piece of a consumer product

The starting salary for this role is expected to range from $125,000 to $204,000 on an annualized basis, or potentially greater in the event that your 'level' of proficiency exceeds the level expected for the role. Compensation may also vary by geography.

We also expect to award a meaningful equity grant for this role. With equal quarterly vesting, your first vest date would be within the first 3 months of your start date.
