Clay's mission is to be the engine those companies use to grow to their full potential.\nClay predicts the next best action for your business and then helps you take it. We started by aggregating the best data for B2B companies. Then, we built the infrastructure to run any personalized campaign on top of it, including emails, ads, landing pages, and workflows that make reps more productive. Now, we're building agents that can help grow your company for you. We're already helping thousands of customers - including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Visa - go to market with unique data, signals, and AI research.\nIn 2026, we raised a $115M Series D at $7.1B Valuation led by Wellington - and are on track to cross $200M in revenue this quarter. We also launched a $1M Scholarship fund for GTME Education.\nSome things to know about us:\nOur community includes 17,000+ customers, 200+ integration partners, 125+ agencies, 50+ Clay clubs, and 30k members on Slack.\n\nOur culture is unique inside and outside of work. Our team members are also DJs, activists, writers, clowns, marathoners, skydivers, psychedelic therapists, social workers, and more.\n\nAll employees can work with world-class coaches who specialize in creativity, management, and more.\n\nOur operating principles - including negative maintenance and non-attached action - guide our work. Read more about them here.\n\nRead about us in the NYT, Forbes, First Round Review, and more.\n\nHear from our employees directly on our Glassdoor page!\nData Scientist @ Clay\nWe're looking for a Data Scientist to join Clay's Data Science and Analytics team. You'll be durably embedded with a partner team-Product, Marketing, Sales, Finance, or Partnerships-as their full data partner, with the deep context to shape what gets built and how the business runs, backed by a central data team that operates as one center of excellence.\nThis role is for someone who wants to own challenging, ambiguous problems end to end: designing experiments, building predictive models, and designing new metrics to guide out business. Data scientists at Clay are strategic leaders and trusted truth-tellers. Plus, we are among the fastest growing AI businesses, and our team is at the bleeding edge of AI-enabled data science.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn causal inference and experimentation\nDesign and analyze experiments, and build incrementality measurement where clean A/B tests aren't possible (e.g., propensity-score matching to estimate true lift of features and GTM channels).\nDefine how we measure the business\nShape metric trees that connect team-level metrics to company outcomes, establish success criteria for product launches, and build frameworks for sizing and forecasting impact. Build predictive models that lead our team to focus on what matters most.\nGo deep on the toughest questions\nRoot-cause anomalies, investigate nuanced behavioral questions, and build new analysis frameworks where existing patterns don't fit. Use data to teach all of Clay what we should be focusing on and what we can ignore.\nPartner as an embedded expert\nWork as the direct analytical partner to leaders in your area, turning ambiguous strategic questions into rigorous, decision-ready analysis.\nWhat You'll Bring\n5+ years in data science, with demonstrated ownership of experimentation, causal inference, or predictive modeling\nStrong product and business sense: you connect analysis to decisions and revenue and have a demonstrated track record of directly influencing product and business decisions with your work\nStrong statistical and experimentation foundations: experiment design, effect estimation, a large exploratory analysis toolkit, and knowing when a result shouldn't be trusted\nExpert SQL and Python\nExperience using AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate analytical work: our team is AI-forward, and our workflows heavily utilize these tools\nClear communicator who can influence senior stakeholders\nNice To Haves\nExperience with our stack: Snowflake, Github, dbt, Hex, Sigma, Dagster\nExperience in product-led growth or B2B SaaS, especially usage-based pricing\nExperience partnering with ML engineers to productionize models\nWhy Clay\nAt Clay, AI handles routine analytical questions, so your time goes to the problems that require your expertise: causal inference, prediction, and the deep dives that change decisions. You'll help shape how a fast-scaling company measures growth and makes decisions. We value ownership, thoughtfulness, creative problem-solving, and a relentless focus on impact.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4620,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Sales Enablement","Lead Generation","Marketing & Sales AI","B2B Company & Contact Data"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-14T21:55:35Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":52,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.861,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":62,"expected_fill_days":75,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:late","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":300000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/clay-data-scientist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/clay-data-scientist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T16:43:00Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1208,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1484},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1484"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fclay-data-scientist"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fclay-data-scientist"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fclay-data-scientist"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/clay-data-scientist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fclay-data-scientist"}]}
