Senior Data Scientist - Consumer Frontend

Overview

Senior Data Scientist on the Consumer Frontend team, partnering with engineers, product managers, designers and leaders to define and measure navigation, discoverability and UX quality across the Roblox app.

What you'll do

• Define and measure the success of Roblox's information architecture, navigation systems and core user experiences.
• Develop metrics and frameworks that quantify navigation efficiency, information discoverability, user friction and overall UX quality.
• Develop a deep understanding of user journeys, navigation behaviors and user intent across the Roblox app.
• Identify opportunities to improve how users discover content, navigate between surfaces and accomplish their goals, and translate those insights into product strategy and UX improvements.
• Establish decision-making frameworks for evaluating trade-offs across user journeys, surfaces and product objectives.
• Help teams understand the downstream effects of navigation and information architecture changes, balancing local optimizations with the health of the broader consumer experience.
• Leverage experimentation, causal inference and statistical modeling to evaluate platform-wide initiatives and cross-surface UX investments.
• Design rigorous approaches to measurement in environments where traditional experimentation may be challenging.
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Design and Data Science leaders across Consumer Apps and adjacent organizations to influence product strategy.
