What is this role like?

We are looking for a highly analytical Product Associate with a builder's mindset to join our team. In this role, you won't just report numbers; you will be the bridge between complex data possibilities and real product value.

You'll thrive here if you have a strong mathematical foundation, sharp product instincts, and the technical toolkit to deep-dive into datasets to uncover the "why" behind performance. We value intellectual curiosity and the ability to solve puzzles in a fast-paced environment.

In this role, you will:

• Drive Data Discovery: Use SQL and Python to navigate large datasets, identifying patterns and opportunities that drive product growth.
• Master the Metrics: Interpret and refine KPIs with a clear understanding of statistical significance and expected targets.
• Technical Advocacy: Act as a trusted advisor to both internal teams and external clients, translating complex technical insights into actionable product strategies.
• Shape the Product: Work closely with Engineering and Product teams to ensure our data-driven culture is reflected in every feature we launch.
• Visualization & Storytelling: Transform complex requirements into intuitive dashboards and visualizations that simplify decision-making.

What (we think) you need to be successful

We are looking for outlier candidates who are passionate about data and problem-solving. Whether you are an experienced professional or a high-potential talent from a rigorous academic background, we want to hear from you.

• Analytical Rigor: A strong background in a quantitative field (such as Engineering, Math, Physics, Economics, or Computer Science) is highly valued.
• Technical Toolkit: Proficiency in SQL is essential. Experience with Python for data analysis and statistical modeling is a significant plus.
• Problem-Solving Instincts: Ability to think from first principles and handle ambiguity with a structured, logical approach.
• Communication & Stakeholder Management: Exceptional ability to communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences in Advanced/Fluent English.
• Data Visualization: Familiarity with BI tools (Metabase is a plus) and a knack for creating clear, impactful reports.
• Client-Facing Mindset: Comfort in dealing with external stakeholders and a proactive attitude toward solving their challenges.

What We Value

At Topsort, we seek professionals who embody the following qualities to drive our mission forward:

• Deep dive into details: Professionals who are not content with superficial answers and dive deeply into the details to uncover root causes and optimal solutions.
• Team first: A low need for individual recognition, always prioritizing collective results over personal credit.
• You thrive with ambiguity: Exceptional ability to tackle open-ended problems in unstructured environments, turning chaos into structured innovation.
• Adaptability: Willingness to learn, mentor, lead, and follow as the situation demands, fostering growth at all levels.
• Urgency: A disproportionate sense of urgency in execution, while keeping scalability and the creation of replicable processes in mind to ensure long-term success.
• Curiosity: Genuinely curious individuals who can quickly learn difficult concepts and apply them effectively.
