About the role
We file this job under Data Scientist, by the work the posting describes.
Data scientists use statistics and models to answer harder questions, such as whether a change worked, what demand will look like next quarter, or which customers are likely to leave.
Postings usually ask for Python or R, SQL, statistics, experiment design and common machine learning methods.
Unlike an ML engineer, a data scientist's main output is often an analysis or a first model, not software running inside a product.

About us
We're on a mission to bring contracts and any other long documents to the 21st century!
We’re using AI to make these documents intelligible, abstracting what matters in them and detailing their content so that humans can manipulate them easily.
We've been working on this since the beginning of 2021, and have applications in Real Estate, Finance, Insurance, and other industries. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as possible.
