Data Scientist, ClearAngel

This job is no longer open

Application Deadline: ongoing

ClearAngel is building YC for the 99% of founders. Those who traditionally don’t have access to advice, capital or network -- we want to support that long tail. 

Most founders don't live in Silicon Valley or have the pristine pedigree to get in front of the "right" people. For far too long, startups have played on a scarcity model.

This is limiting the potential of founders. We fundamentally believe that great founders and companies are everywhere. Where there are problems, opportunities exist. We want to empower those founders. 

We are building ClearAngel to democratize access to advice, network and capital.

We do this by scaling access to the rest of the world:

  • Access to advice (knowledge, resources)
  • Access to network (intros, people, community)
  • Access to capital

The role of the Data Scientist is to collaborate on backend architecture and minimalistic data pipelines that enable features for the Clear Angels product and supporting processes.  Your responsibilities will be a superset of a typical Scientist, as there are often experiments and uncertainty that require creative solutioning at the earliest stages.  

Responsibilities: 

  • You will be responsible for working with our data science team and our ClearAngel data team to build applications and services that will enable our team of coaches to service hundreds, and thousands of customers
  • You will be responsible for owning the scope, construction and deployment of services aimed at making our coaches and founders smarter.
  • You will be responsible for connecting the dots between different data sources and working with our data procurement team to find unique ways to stitch data together to build better solutions for our founders
  • You will be responsible for the architecture and implementation of models and ML tools aimed at automating expensive manual tasks, or augmenting existing automated tasks aimed at improving the lives and decision making ability of our coaches and founders

What we look for:

  • Desire to help founders. We take a strong founder first stance on this team
  • Be self sufficient when it comes to execution. Figure out how to solve problems and make things happen, not waiting for help or permission
  • On this team, we maximize learning. You will fail if you're not learning fast enough
  • Comfort working in a high growth, constantly changing environment
  • Heavy bias towards action. Ability to solve problems end-to-end on their own. You will implement ideas and experiments on your own with minimal support
  • Have experience working in a senior software engineering role, you are an expert when it comes to coding and you’re ready to roll up your sleeves to get the job done! 
  • Have a strong business sense, you can foresee potential issues and solve them quickly
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively across multiple teams
  • Strong interest in building businesses, ecommerce, fintech

Technical Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience working on a variety of different projects / stacks would be ideal
  • A Bachelor’s or Master’s of Science with Applied Research in Machine Learning or Computer Science or a PhD in the same discipline with major/depth in Machine Learning or similar
  • Ability to design, build and deploy end-to-end ML solutions
  • Experience working on remote teams
  • Able to architect and scale data integrations from third-party API docs independently without much support
  • Interested and able to prototype solutions that might not scale to 1,000,000 users but can get the job done while we derisk the business outcomes.
  • Agility  
  • Comfortable working in server and database environments that are changing constantly
  • Demonstrated experience with using third party solutions and external APIs to supercharge existing features
  • Comfortable in a fast pace, changing roadmap team building the plane after jumping off the cliff

    • Deep Learning frameworks (Tensorflow/PyTorch)
    • Docker
  • Soft Skills:
    • Ability to communicate clearly and effectively with a wide range of audiences
    • Ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical users to build data driven solutions
    • Ability to address objections to your ideas to drive forward founder focused outcomes
  • Assets:
    • Experience working closely with data science teams
    • Experience working with the Google Cloud Stack
