The position offers autonomy, exposure to cutting-edge technologies, and the chance to make meaningful contributions to a mission-driven organization. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, contribute to data strategy, and directly impact product innovation and customer value. This is an opportunity to grow as both a technical leader and strategic thinker in a startup-like environment with large-scale impact.

  • Strong proficiency in Python and Java, with experience across cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Hands-on experience across the full machine learning lifecycle: EDA, modeling, productionization, monitoring.
  • Ability to flex between pure data science and full engineering execution as business needs demand.
  • Experience in early-stage startup environments or high-growth teams.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and attention to detail.
  • Deep alignment with mission-driven work and values-centered leadership.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience at major technology companies (e.g., Amazon, Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix).
  • Prior involvement in large-scale talent or workforce analytics platforms.
  • Familiarity with client operations, APIs, and full-stack engineering approaches.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation: $150,000–$200,000 per year.
