About the Role
We’re looking for a Data Scientist to help us improve and extend lives by learning from the experience of every person with cancer. You’ll turn ambiguous business requests into reliable, production-grade automations and partner with teams across the company to identify automation opportunities, scope requirements, and build AI-powered workflows.
Responsibilities
- Partner with stakeholders across teams to intake automation requests, define requirements, and align on priorities.
- Design, build, test, and maintain automations (e.g., using n8n) that connect systems and automate processes across the organization.
- Write design documents that scope technical approaches, surface tradeoffs, and set expectations with partners.
- Write code for custom logic, data transformation, and API integrations.
- Monitor production workflows, troubleshoot failures, and build in error handling and alerting from the start.
- Document workflows so they can be understood, maintained, and extended by others.
Requirements
- 1-3 years of relevant working experience as an applied data scientist or similar technical data-oriented role.
- Prior experience with LLMs is required.
- Bachelor’s, master’s, and/or Ph.D. in computer science, data science, or a related field.
- Understanding of how AI systems are evaluated and ability to analyze an existing system to assess output quality, identify improvements, and communicate impact to stakeholders.
- Curiosity and knowledge to investigate, discover, and evaluate new and emerging AI architecture and design.
- Collaboration with technical team members in a production development environment using formal version control, Python, or JavaScript.
- Experience working with data: parsing JSON, transforming payloads, connecting to databases or third-party services (e.g., via REST APIs).
- Impact-oriented mindset with a focus on creating real change for customers, users, and ultimately patients.
- Clear and confident communication skills to break down complex data analyses and tell a compelling story.
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with workflow automation platforms (n8n, Zapier, Make, Airflow).
- Deeper understanding of APIs (REST, webhooks, authentication patterns like OAuth and API keys).
- Background in consulting, data analysis, solutions engineering, data engineering, or a similar hybrid technical/product role.
Schedule
This is a hybrid role with a defined work location that includes work from home and 3 office days set by you and your team.
Benefits
- Work/life autonomy via flexible work hours and flexible paid time off.
- Comprehensive compensation package.
- 401(k) contribution to help you reach your retirement planning goals.
- Financial health resources including 1:1 financial advice.
- Mental well-being tools and services.
- Parental benefits and policies including family-building care and generous leave.
- Path to parenthood programs supporting fertility, adoption, and surrogacy.
