Job Description

Senior Data Scientist

Location: Remote (U.S.-based preferred)

About Us

We’re a fast-moving healthcare startup focused on improving care for Medicaid patients with complex needs. Our small data team drives clinical insight, operational strategy, and real-world impact. From modeling patient risk to evaluating care team effectiveness, we believe thoughtful data work can change lives.

The Role

We’re hiring a Senior Data Scientist to help us unlock insights across the entire analytics stack — from transforming raw data in Snowflake and dbt, to modeling outcomes, to building dashboards that guide clinical teams and company strategy.

You’ll report directly to our Head of Data and work closely with both product and clinical teams. This is a highly collaborative IC role with high visibility and room to grow.

What You’ll Do

• Own analytics projects end-to-end — scoping, modeling, and delivering insights
• Build and maintain dbt models and Looker dashboards
• Work with clinicians and product leaders to define metrics and answer key questions
• Apply statistical and ML methods to problems like churn, engagement, and patient risk
• Contribute to observational study designs and research output
• Help shape the future of our data science practice

You Might Work On

• Modeling patient disengagement to reduce churn
• Evaluating the impact of new care outreach programs
• Developing a risk score to prioritize high-need patients
• Supporting a journal submission with cohort analysis and stats

What We’re Looking For

• 2–5 years in data science, analytics, or similar roles
• Strong SQL and experience with dbt or similar tools
• Proficient in Python or R (both is a plus)
• Strong communicator who can bridge technical and clinical teams
• Curious, scrappy, thoughtful — and excited to work in a startup
• Healthcare experience is a big plus, but not required

Why Join Us

• Mission-driven work that improves real lives
• High ownership, high-impact role
• Smart, supportive teammates who love solving hard problems
• A culture that values rigor, empathy, and action

Because We Value You

• Competitive salary: $140,000-$190,000
• Equity compensation package
• Flexible vacation policy – take the time you need to recharge
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) through Guideline
• 100% company-sponsored short and long-term disability and life insurance
• Subsidized backup childcare and caregiver supports through Wellthy
• Work entirely from the comfort of your own home
• Monthly $100 work from home expense stipend
• We provide the equipment needed for the role
• Opportunity for rapid career progression with plenty of room for personal growth!
• FOR TRAVEL ROLES ONLY: Travel reimbursements for your on-site engagement days
