Bold started out in 2012 as an app developer with a simple focus: to extend platform capabilities with technology that helps brands grow, and to deliver great service along the way. As ecommerce accelerated, it fuelled changing shopper expectations and new challenges for retailers and brands. We, in turn, evolved to focus on the stage of the shopper journey that was holding them back from growth - the checkout experience. Bold’s Checkout Experience Suite is the only high-converting, customizable headless checkout with built in subscriptions and pricing capabilities, for a checkout without limits. Leading omnichannel retailers like Vera Bradley, Harry Rosen, and Staples Canada, and emerging DTC brands, such as Pepsi and Mars, trust Bold to overcome one-size fits all platform limitations, improving checkout conversion and delivering anywhere commerce.

About the role

We’re building something new and looking for a creative, curious, and impactdriven Data Scientist to help shape it. You’ll play a key role in developing the algorithm behind our latest Shopify app, using data to uncover consumer behaviour patterns and drive personalized, intelligent experiences.

We’re especially interested in candidates with a background in social sciences—people who go beyond the numbers to interpret behaviour, spot patterns, and apply a human lens to data.

What you’ll do

Directly impact the core functionality and user experience of a brandnew Shopify app

Partner with product and engineering teams to develop, refine, and optimize the core algorithm powering the app, actively contributing to insight discovery and product roadmapping.

Analyze merchant behaviour and identify patterns that inform product and design decisions

Build predictive models, recommendation systems, or scoring mechanisms to deliver personalized user experiences

Design and execute experiments (AB tests, multivariate testing) to validate hypotheses and measure impact

Produce humanreadable research reports and concise data briefs for internal stakeholders, focusing on actionable insights that inform strategic decisions.
Create visualizations and dashboards that track usage trends, behaviour clusters, and performance of algorithmic features
Support product iteration with both quantitative findings and qualitative insights from user data
Think outside the box, how can we leverage the latest trends and technology to improve our products and increase time to value
