Data Scientist

About the role

Metriport is an open-source data intelligence platform that helps healthcare organizations access and exchange patient data in real-time. We integrate with all major US healthcare IT systems and tap into comprehensive medical data for 300+ million individuals. We've found product-market fit with multi-million ARR, 100+ customers (including Amazon, Color, and Strive Health), backing from top VCs, and years of runway. We're ready to scale. We're a tight-knit, high-performing team of mostly former founders (including two YC alumni). We're engineering-heavy, operate with minimal bureaucracy and high autonomy, and hire based on competence, not prestige. We push hard—founders work six days a week from our SF office—but give everyone freedom to craft their schedule. We measure output and we're committed to sustainable intensity.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in a data science role, ideally at a high-growth or startup company where you wore multiple hats.
• SQL mastery: You can write complex, performant queries in your sleep.
• ML/statistical modeling: Practical experience building and deploying models (classification, regression, clustering, NLP) — not just prototyping.
• Coding proficiency: Strong in Python (pandas, scikit-learn, and ideally some experience with LLM APIs or frameworks).
• TypeScript proficiency is a plus — our stack is TypeScript-heavy.
• Analytical chops: You're comfortable owning dashboards, data quality, and ad-hoc analysis. You see this as part of the job, not beneath it.
• Location: San Francisco / Bay Area (or willing to relocate).

Nice to have

• Experience with healthcare data is strongly preferred — FHIR, HL7, or clinical data.
• Understanding how a patient moves through the healthcare system is the core of what we do.
• Experience with data modeling tools (dbt or similar) and product analytics platforms (PostHog, Mixpanel, Amplitude).
• Experience integrating models into backend services or APIs (not just notebooks).

Benefits

• Competitive equity + compensation package
• Full family Platinum health insurance, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) retirement plan + matching
• Flexible work from home or in-office
• Healthy lunches are complimentary when working in-office (and breakfast + dinners as needed)
• Quarterly company off-sites with the team
• MacBook provided by us
• Unlimited PTO (we work hard, but trust you to take time you need to be at your best)
