2–4 years of total work experience with a strong academic record
~2 years in investment banking, strategy consulting, or a comparable high-intensity analytical role, followed by operating experience — a growth or product role at a startup, or founding your own company
Extremely analytical. Fluent in SQL, comfortable with experiment design and statistical readouts
Segment-native. You think in user journeys, personas, and behavioral triggers, and you know a lift on the average can hide a loss on a segment
Strong product taste. You can tell the difference between an upsell that helps a user and one that annoys them, and you care about the second-order effects of what you ship
High velocity. Comfortable owning many parallel experiments and moving between analysis, spec-writing, and shipping in the same week
Bias to action, low ego, high ownership. Thrives in ambiguity where processes are still being defined
Direct experience with A/B testing and experimentation platforms (Eppo, Statsig, Optimizely, or in-house equivalents)
Experience with subscription and usage-based billing products, paywalls, or paid upgrade experimentation
Experience shipping across web and native mobile surfaces
OUR MISSION
Perplexity's mission is to power curiosity. Curious people are the people who drive change in the world. Driving change is a continuous cycle of learning, building, and integrating
Learn: curious people constantly learn new things by asking more. They question the status quo in their own expertise and they constantly learn outside of it. Research is essential to them and never ending
Build: curious people make and create things, to show the world their new answers to problems no one else ever questioned. They take action on what they've learned. Makers need tools to create their products, their companies, their reality
Integrate: they must interact with the world as it is to drive change and adoption. True leaders do not simply build something and hope. They must have armies of agents and workers who can constantly work in millions of small ways
Repeat. For curious people this is a cycle that never ends
