About the Team

Stitch Fix is redefining retail by blending the art of fashion with the science of machine learning. The Decisions & Insights team is at the heart of this innovation, utilizing experimentation and causal inference to power personal style.

Collaboration is core to our success; we are currently building the next generation of intelligent, AI-enabled analytical and experimentation platforms. These tools provide partners in Styling, Client Support, Marketing, and Engineering with the specialized capabilities they need to solve the company’s most complex business problems.
