The role

Behind every solutions-focused technology feature is a Data Scientist who sweated the edge cases, and StartupAdvantage is hiring more of them. You won't find a tighter fit if you've got 4 years, want $86,000 - $121,000, and crave a technology team that lets you lead.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
  • Wire up Data Visualization feature flags so StartupAdvantage can test on Cary traffic risk-free
  • Sit with technology users in Cary to learn what the Relationship Building tool really needs
  • Stress-test A/B Testing systems until they bend, then harden where they cracked
  • Map data flow across StartupAdvantage's A/B Testing services and spot the leaks
  • Build the Looker tooling that makes every other Cary engineer faster
  • Drive the Leadership incident postmortem that stops the Cary outage from recurring
  • Tune Data Visualization queries until the NC database stops timing out under load

What You'll Bring

  • Proven aptitude for Model Deployment, ideally near Cary, NC
  • Hands-on proficiency with MLflow, ideally paired with Data Visualization
  • Practical Feature Engineering skills sharpened in a remote setting
  • Roughly 5+ years operating in a similar Data Scientist position
  • The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
  • Comfort with remote arrangements and the rhythms of a fiercely-supportive workplace
  • Experience thriving in a mentorship-focused, deadline-driven setting like StartupAdvantage
