The Future of Worth

We are seeking our first Senior Data Scientist to produce world class analytics software for our enterprise customers. You’ll be part of a cross-functional team and will be responsible for building state-of-the-art models that will be the backbone of our software solutions. Our ideal candidate will be proficient in Python, SQL, and distributed processing languages such as PySpark. You will be an expert in building solutions quickly and efficiently, leveraging your background in machine/deep learning, algorithms, and software engineering. We are looking for a data scientist who has experience working cross-functionally between product and engineering, as you will be expected to work closely with these teams to ensure that your models solve the underlying issues of our customers, integrate within our systems, and run efficiently. You will be a keystone of our data science efforts. Our small team will rely on you to build effective and precise statistical models with our granular workforce data. You will be responsible for taking model requests from idea to implementation, programming in well-documented and readable scripts (not notebooks) that will feed directly into our production environment. To be successful in this role, you should have a strong background in data science and algorithms, programming best practices, and experience working with startups. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and be able to juggle multiple priorities. Who We Are: Most companies are flying blind when it comes to their most valuable asset: their human capital. Our team has spent the past 30+ years at top universities pioneering methods to help shift workforce decisions into quantitative and science-driven decisions. We are now making these approaches available to business decision makers via our Workhelix platform. We aim to help millions live more productive and fulfilling lives all while helping companies keep their workforces aligned with constantly changing needs. We are fortunate to have some of the leaders in AI and Economics actively involved and behind this important mission, including Andrew Ng, Andy McAfee, and Erik Brynjolfsson. The culture at Workhelix is based on four norms. The first is science: making decisions based on evidence and debate rather than judgment and experience. Second is ownership: combining high autonomy with tight alignment to avoid bureaucracy and sclerosis. Third, speed: iterating and getting feedback as rapidly as possible instead of planning well in advance. And finally, openness: being open to feedback and criticism, and creating an environment of egalitarianism and psychological safety.
