With more and more data coming from wearables, lab tests, and patient-doctor interactions, we’re entering an era where data is abundant.\nJunction is building the infrastructure layer for diagnostic healthcare, making patient data accessible, actionable, and automated across labs and devices. Our mission is simple but ambitious: use health data to unlock unprecedented insight into human health and disease.\nIf you're passionate about how technology can supercharge healthcare, you’ll fit right in.\nBacked by Creandum, Point Nine, 20VC, YC, and leading angels, we’re working to solve one of the biggest challenges of our time: making healthcare personalized, proactive, and affordable. We’re already connecting millions and scaling fast.\nShort on time? TL;DR\nYou: Can define what should be measured, how it should be modeled, and how those insights should shape product and company decisions.\n\nOwnership: You’ll own Junction’s highest-leverage statistical, modeling, and evaluation work across diagnostics, clinical workflows, and AI-enabled product development.\n\nScope: This is not a pure IC modeling role and not a reporting role. You’ll set the methodology, research roadmap, and decision framework for how Junction uses data to drive product, clinical, and business outcomes.\n\nSalary: $180,000 - $200,000 + equity\n\nLocation: Fully remote (EST timezone only)\n\nWhy we need you\nJunction sits in the flow of high-value diagnostics and clinical data. As the company grows, our advantage moves beyond just having data to having the ability to turn it into reliable intelligence improving product decisions, customer outcomes, and the performance of the business.\nSome of that work exists today, but it is not yet owned as a coherent function. Models get built. Analyses get done. Experiments answer local questions. But we need someone who can define the broader scientific and analytical system: what we should measure, what methods we trust, where modeling creates real leverage, and how that work translates into products and decisions that hold up outside a demo.\nWe’re hiring our first Data Scientist to take ownership of, and establish that standard.\nThis role will lead Junction’s most important modeling, experimentation, and evaluation work. You’ll partner closely with data, product engineering and leadership teams to drive the analytical roadmap by which Junction can leverage differentiated value from data.\nWhat you’ll be doing day to day\nOwn the research and modeling work underlying Junction’s highest-priority data science opportunities across diagnostics, clinical workflows, and AI-enabled product features\n\nDefine rigorous frameworks for measurement, experimentation, and causal evaluation so we can distinguish signal from noise and make decisions we can defend\n\nLead development of predictive models, segmentation approaches, risk or routing logic, and other statistical systems that directly inform product and business strategy\n\nBuild the analytical foundation behind customer-facing features - from model development through to validation and performance tracking\n\nPartner with engineering and data engineering to ensure models and analytical systems can be put in production, are reliable, and useful in real workflows\n\nEstablish how Junction evaluates data-driven and AI-enabled features, including methodology, quality thresholds, monitoring, and performance review\n\nCommunicate complex technical findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including tradeoffs, limitations, and implications for action\n\nRequirements\nStrong track record of leading high-stakes analytical work that influenced product, operational, or business decisions\n\nDeep foundation in statistical inference, experimental design, observational analysis, and model evaluation\n\nStrong Python and/or R skills, with experience working on large, messy real-world datasets\n\nExperience building predictive or decision-support models in production or near-production environments\n\nExperience partnering closely with engineering to move work from analysis or prototype into deployed systems\n\nAbility to operate at both strategic and hands-on levels: defining the roadmap while also getting into the details when needed\n\nStrong communication and stakeholder management skills; able to explain methods, findings, and tradeoffs to executives as well as technical peers\n\nComfort operating in a startup environment with ambiguity, limited structure, and high ownership\n\nNice to have\nExperience designing, executing, and publishing research studies\n\nExperience with HIPAA, PHI, or other regulatory clinical frameworks\n\nDeep familiarity with modern data tooling and production workflows across warehouses, orchestration, and transformation layers\n\nExperience developing, deploying, and designing evaluation frameworks for LLM or AI-powered features in customer-facing products\n\nExpertise directly working with healthcare, diagnostics, lab data, wearable data, and other clinical data\n\nExperience applying causal inference methods, such as diff-in-diff, propensity scoring, or instrumental variables in practice\n\nWhat this role isn’t\nNot an analytics role focused on dashboards, reporting, or one-off analysis\n\nNot an ML platform role - you won’t own infrastructure or tooling\n\nNot a good fit if you mainly want to experiment with models or AI ideas without being accountable for how they perform in production\n\nNot a good fit if you struggle with ambiguity. Knowing what to work on is part of the job\n\nHow you'll be compensated\nSalary: $180,000 - $220,000 + equity\n\nYour salary is dependent on your location and experience level\n\nEquity (extended exercise post 2 years of employment)\n\nCompany and team offsites\n\nMonthly learning budget of $150 for personal development and productivity\n\n$100 monthly wellness budget\n\nFlexible, remote-first working, including $1K for home office equipment\n\nCoworking budget\n\n36 days paid time off (including bank holidays)\n\nPremium healthcare coverage\n\n4% monthly contribution to pension/401k\n\nYearly blood test on us\n\nEnhanced parental, foster, and adoption leave\n\nImportant details before applying:\nWe only hire folks physically based in GMT and EST timezones\n\nWe do not sponsor visas right now given our stage","description_format":"text","description_chars":6318,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Equity","Home office"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"New York","iso":null,"kind":"city"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Health Care","Medical Laboratories","Health Data & Interoperability"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T16:35:54Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":80,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.85,"p_room":0.945,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":11,"reasons":["conf:1","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/junction-data-scientist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/junction-data-scientist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T09:47:04Z","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":11107,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"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":4656},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4656"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fjunction-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%2Fjunction-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%2Fjunction-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/junction-data-scientist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fjunction-data-scientist"}]}
