ABOUT HAPPYROBOT

HappyRobot is the infrastructure for enterprises to build and orchestrate AI workforces. Our AI workers don't just communicate through voice and email - they make decisions, take action, and run operations autonomously across entire enterprise systems. Born in Y Combinator (S23) and backed by a16z, Base10, Prysm Capital and Eurazeo with over $200M raised, we power critical operations for global enterprises worldwide.

Our platform is battle-tested in the most demanding environments, where AI has real consequences. We started in logistics, built our own voice stack, models, and orchestration layer from the ground up, and are now bringing that infrastructure to every enterprise that runs the real economy.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You’ll help make data a core part of how we build and improve HappyRobot’s products.

You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, and Machine Learning teams to measure how changes to our models, agents, and product features affect real-world performance. You’ll define meaningful metrics, design experiments, and conduct deeper analyses to understand how our agents create value for clients.

Your work will range from evaluating A/B tests and model changes to analyzing millions of conversations and workflows. You’ll turn complex data into clear insights that influence our product and ML roadmaps.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Define and track product, feature, and agent-level metrics.
• Design, run, and interpret A/B tests for model changes, prompts, agent behavior, workflows, and product features.
• Measure how the performance of our agents affects client outcomes, such as task completion, operational efficiency, response quality, and automation rates.
• Connect offline model evaluations with production performance and real-world customer impact.
• Conduct deep analyses across conversations, workflows, and product usage to identify opportunities and explain differences in performance.
• Investigate anomalies and regressions, perform root-cause analyses, and recommend improvements.
• Build statistical models, simulations, and analytical frameworks to support product and ML decisions.
• Partner with Engineering to improve instrumentation, data quality, experimentation systems, and analytical data models.
• Build dashboards and self-serve tools that help teams understand product and agent performance.
• Communicate findings and recommendations clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

MUST HAVE

• 4+ years of experience in Data Science, Product Analytics, or another highly quantitative product role.
• Strong experience with experimental design, A/B testing, statistics, causal inference, and hypothesis-driven analysis.
• Advanced proficiency in SQL and Python.
• Experience defining and operationalizing product and feature metrics.
• Ability to translate ambiguous product ques

rathon — not a sprint with no strategy.

Talent Density and Meritocracy
Hire only people who can raise the average; ‘exceptional performance is the passing grade.’ Ability trumps seniority. We believe the best teams are built on talent density — every hire should raise the bar. We reward contribution, not titles or tenure. We give ownership to those who earn it, and we all hold each other to a high standard. A-players want to work with other A-players — that’s how we win.

First-Principles Thinking
Strip a problem to physics-level facts, ignore industry dogma, rebuild the solution from scratch. We don’t copy-paste solutions. We go back to basics, ask why things are the way they are, and rebuild from the ground up if needed. This mindset pushes us to innovate, challenge stale assumptions, and move faster than incumbents. It’s how we build what others think is impossible.
