Job description
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.
Location
Remote friendly
Expect ~1 week of travel per quarter to either our Chicago or Redwood City offices.
