About the role: You'll own data science at Rundoo end-to-end: turning ambiguous business questions into crisp scopes, delivering robust analysis on predictable timelines, and building lightweight internal systems so insights are reproducible (not just a one-off notebook). You'll be a thought partner to leaders across GTM, product, and finance — shaping the question as much as answering it — and proactively surfacing anomalies and opportunities as the business scales. This is a remote role with a strong preference for candidates based in SF or NYC. You will report directly to the Head of Data Science. What you'll do as a Data Scientist at Rundoo Deliver high-trust analysis on clear timelines: stakeholders trust both the answer and the ETA; assumptions and limits are explicit. Translate business problems into analysis + system requirements: turn vague asks into crisp scopes, metrics definitions, and data contracts. Build and maintain internal decision systems: ship lightweight tools/workflows so insights are reproducible and maintainable by others. Partner with GTM teams: help Sales/GTM move from "interesting analysis" to actions (e.g., prospecting lists, territory design, experimentation).Proactively surface issues: detect anomalies, broken assumptions, or misallocated spend without waiting for a ticket. Support fundraising readiness: contribute to an evergreen, credible data pool and reporting that leadership can rely on.
Requirements:
  • 5+ years of experience in data science, analytics, applied ML or MLE in a high-growth environment
  • Strong applied analytics / data science foundation (statistics, experimentation, causal thinking, forecasting, etc.).Demonstrated ability to scope ambiguous problems and drive to decisions with stakeholders.
  • Comfort writing production-quality code (especially Python) and building maintainable internal systems (not just notebooks).Excellent communication: can explain tradeoffs, assumptions, and recommendations to non-technical audiences.
  • High ownership and autonomy in a fast-paced environment; can operate without a lot of process.
Bonus points: Experience partnering closely with Sales/GTM teams (pipeline, conversion, pricing, prospecting, territories, etc.).Experience building internal analytics tooling on cloud infrastructure (basic best practices, reliability, maintainability).Experience operating in early-stage startups and/or building "v1 systems" that later scale. Strong "structured systems thinking" and willingness to defend or revise an approach under scrutiny.
