Principal Data Scientist partnering with cross-functional teams to solve product and business problems through quantitative analysis, experimentation, forecasting, and product metrics. The role develops hypotheses, evaluates opportunities, influences product roadmaps, identifies challenges, and communicates data-driven insights and recommendations to leadership.

Develop and evaluate foundational deep learning methods, including transformers, embeddings, and neural networks, for credit modeling and loss prediction. Integrate models into ML pipelines, apply representation learning to financial data, and build specialized AI agents for data science and business workflows. Collaborate with technical and product teams, communicate findings, mentor colleagues, and measure model impact on customer and business outcomes.

Create reproducible data science and machine learning tasks with verified reference solutions, robust tests, and evaluation criteria. Investigate coding-agent failures, identify implementation errors and data leakage, refine task designs, and document requirements and verification steps. The role requires competitive data science experience, mathematical reasoning, programming ability, and practical expertise in implementing and validating solutions.

Build and validate forecasting, optimization, anomaly detection, and measurement models using complex customer data. Perform exploratory analysis, experiments, backtesting, and error analysis; partner with ML and data engineers to productionize models, features, evaluation pipelines, and monitoring. Translate business questions into analytical recommendations and communicate findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders. The role is hybrid in New York City or remote in the U.S. with monthly travel to New York.

Analyze large datasets, identify meaningful patterns, develop machine learning models, and deliver actionable insights for business decisions. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand data needs, communicate findings clearly to stakeholders, and stay current with advances in data science and AI technologies.

Supports the design, validation, and operationalization of predictive, machine learning, and AI models. Analyzes structured and unstructured data, develops algorithms, validates outcomes, creates visualizations, and communicates findings to stakeholders. Collaborates cross-functionally to integrate solutions and prepares model pipelines for business use. The role also involves statistical analysis, NLP, exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, and research into emerging technologies.

Designs challenging data science and machine learning tasks, builds reproducible environments and verified reference solutions, and develops automated tests and evaluation frameworks for AI-generated code. The role analyzes AI agent performance, identifies bugs, leakage, overfitting, and methodological weaknesses, documents technical requirements, and iteratively improves task reliability and complexity.

Build predictive and machine learning models for patient needs, operational forecasting, churn, advocate quality, and risk. Design A/B tests and causal inference studies, apply advanced statistical methods, productionize models with data engineers, and communicate insights to business stakeholders. The role requires Python, advanced SQL, forecasting expertise, statistical proficiency, data privacy awareness, and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced healthcare startup.

Partner with AI labs to improve frontier models by designing targeted data collection workflows, analyzing experimental results, and implementing quality controls. The role involves evaluating model behavior, reducing bias, supporting model safety and alignment, and translating technical findings into actionable insights for AI researchers and customers. Python is used for data analysis, pipeline development, and workflow prototyping.

Own Alpaca’s growth data strategy across acquisition, activation, retention, referral, and monetization. Build experimentation frameworks, causal and incrementality analyses, funnel and cohort models, LTV/CAC and churn forecasts, marketing measurement, governed growth metrics, and self-serve analytics. Partner with Product, Marketing, Sales, Engineering, and Finance to influence strategy and roadmaps, communicate insights to leadership, mentor data professionals, and establish standards for growth analytics.

Assist senior data scientists with data collection, preprocessing, cleaning, and basic statistical analysis. Support model development, perform basic visualizations, and document processes and findings while learning and applying data science techniques.

Partner with product engineering to design and analyze experiments, apply causal reasoning and statistical modeling to marketplace data, and drive data-informed product decisions across the engineering org.
