We make groundbreaking brands like Firefox, the privacy-minded web browser. Now, with more than 225 million people around the world using our products each month, we’re shaping the next 25 years of technology and helping to reclaim an internet built for people, not companies.

Prototype and implement automation use cases that drive operational efficiency and compliance, while identifying similar opportunities for cost savings across the organization Define and implement core operational metrics that reflect efficiency, effectiveness, and service quality, enabling measurement at scale and continuous process improvement. Partner with operations, and product teams to define measurement needs, identify gaps, and implement tracking. Standardize operational metrics and dashboards in Looker, ensuring self-serve access and consistency across the organization. Drive root cause analysis and opportunity sizing to surface the highest-value areas for investment or process improvement.

What you’ll bring:

BS or MS in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field 5+ years of experience in data science or analytics, with demonstrated work on operations-focused projects. Hands-on experience with AI tooling and prototyping, particularly in service of process automation (LLMs, APIs, NLP, anomaly detection). Familiarity with operational domains such as Customer Experience (CX), Trust & Safety (T&S), or Ad Ops; ability to understand metrics like handle time, task pacing, or SLA completion without needing deep onboarding. Strong proficiency in SQL, and experience building data pipelines and dashboards using tools like Looker. Proficiency in Python or R for modeling, prototyping, and automation. Experience with metric standardization, KPI frameworks, and experimentation in operational settings. Ability to work cross-functionally, communicate with clarity, and prioritize speed over perfection when needed. Deep sense of ownership, curiosity, and urgency in solving problems that improve organizational productivity. A global, privacy-respecting perspective aligned with Mozilla’s values.

What you’ll get:

Generous performance-based bonus plans to all eligible employees - we share in our success as one team Rich medical, dental, and vision coverage Generous retirement contributions with 100% immediate vesting (regardless of whether you contribute) Quarterly all-company wellness days where everyone takes a pause together Country specific holidays plus a day off for your birthday One-time home office stipend Annual professional development budget Quarterly well-being stipend Considerable paid parental leave Employee referral bonus program Other benefits (life/AD&D, disability, EAP, etc.varies by country)

The Future of Data Science Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Data science has rapidly evolved into one of the most important disciplines of the 21st century. Once a niche field combining elements of statistics and computer science, it is now at the heart of decision-making across industries. Businesses, governments, and charities rely on data scientists to uncover insights, forecast trends, and build predictive models that shape strategy. In the UK, data science has become central to economic growth. From the NHS using data to improve patient outcomes to financial institutions modelling risk, the applications are endless.
