What is VEED.IO
At VEED, our mission is to make video creation accessible to anyone.
No hard-to-use equipment, painful learning curve, or keeping track of multiple subscriptions to take your ideas from record → share. With VEED, you can do this with a single tool.
In just a few years, we’ve gone from one user to millions. From no revenue to $30M+ ARR. From bootstrapped to backed by Sequoia, one of the biggest VC firms in the world. From a team of two to a team of 180+. And we’re seeking more talented, motivated and entrepreneurial individuals to join our growing team.

The Data organization at VEED are stewards for organizational knowledge. We are accountable for ensuring data provides value to internal staff and customers through data driven products, analytics, and processes and platforms.
Our vision for data is to inspire and create a data driven culture at VEED. We recognise that data, analytics, or reports are never the purpose. They are tools that aid the deepening of understanding.
About the role
Here at VEED, we’re constantly tackling complex problems to keep building our product in a way that our users love. As a Senior Data Scientist at VEED, you’ll work closely with the Product, Data and Business Operations & Strategy team, to leverage data to help us solve some of the biggest strategic projects and questions in our business. For example:
- How changing our pricing structure will impact MRR and Retention?
- What customer segments or personas do we have in each of our plans?
- What is the best metric we should track for product experiment X?
- What main KPI drivers and levers do we have for Retention and Churn?
- How can we leverage our financial data to build a detailed dashboard to help the whole company understand what’s going on?
You’ll sit at the intersection of data & analytics, product, and finance to help us make sense of these critical questions. And you will have great scope to take your career at VEED in whichever way you are most excited!
