Our platform allows marketers to focus on telling their brand's story, delegating operationally intensive to our AI agents which handle data management, analytics, campaign generation, measurement, and reporting.\nEverything is built on Minerva's proprietary consumer graph, an identity and attribute layer covering 270M+ U.S. consumers across 1,000+ temporal attributes. We have two agentic systems built through an OpenAI research partnership: an Agentic Data Engineer that unifies and standardizes a brand's first party data in hours, and an Agentic Data Scientist that trains robust targeting models at scale. Together, these systems enhance the quality of first party data, increase campaign performance, and give marketing teams back their time.\nOur clients include leading consumer brands across categories: the NBA, Ramp, Capital One, Hard Rock Stadium Group / Miami Dolphins, Wander, and Trust & Will. We have raised $20M from The General Partnership, 8VC, Lingotto, NBA Investments, Topology Ventures, Future Positive, Background Capital, and others.\nAbout the Role\nAs a Data Scientist at Minerva, you build the models and features that power our consumer graph and the agents that run on top of it. You sit at the intersection of heavy data engineering and applied modeling: you architect feature engineering pipelines that are computed over terabytes of data, train and sharpen the models that drive targeting and prediction, and ensure the outputs are robust enough to be consumed autonomously by our Minerva Agents and our world-class modeled attributes (i.e. income / wealth).\nThis is a role that will be deploying constantly to production. The models you build are not handed off to be deployed by someone else, you own the path from raw data to a feature or model that an agent can call reliably at scale. As we grow, your work becomes the foundation other systems are built on.\nWhat You'll Do\nCreate new features for models and agents, expanding the predictive surface area of our consumer data lake and building the pipelines that turn raw signal into trusted attributes.\n\nImprove existing models through rigorous feature engineering, including our income/wealth, home buyer, and home seller models.\n\nPlay a pivotal role in the buildout of our world-class data lake, shaping how terabytes of consumer data are stored, transformed, and made queryable for both humans and agents.\n\nBuild feature engineering pipelines that run efficiently at terabyte scale, with the data engineering rigor to make them reliable in production. This is a 70/30 split DS/DE role.\n\nEnsure model and feature outputs are reliable enough to be consumed agentically, writing the validations and guardrails that let our agents act on your work without a human in the loop.\n\nOur Data Stack\nDagster for all things orchestration\n\ndbt-core within Dagster as the primary data transformation surface\n\nSpark, Iceberg, Trino, AWS Glue for Lakehouse workloads\n\nModal for ML eng\n\nFrontier + OSS models & agent SDKs. We are heavy users of OpenAI/Anthropic batch APIs\n\nQualifications\n2-4+ years working as a data scientist, applied machine learning focused data engineer or software engineer in a data-heavy context. Simply put, you live and breathe data.\n\nHighly proficient at Python and SQL.\n\nYou are driven by first-principles thinking and are a go-getter. You reason about what datasets and features are necessary to solve a modeling problem, and are scrappy and clever enough to bring that to life.\n\nStrong intuition for data engineering principles, especially around data cleaning/ingestion and data modeling. We prefer these core skills to be second-nature, freeing up thinking for architecting and executing large-scale data initiatives, especially given the advancement of AI coding tools.\n\nStrong engineering background. You are comfortable deploying complicated production pipelines and working within larger production systems, not just in sandboxed or research environments.\n\nWillingness to work in office in NYC (we provide a relocation package).\n\nFlexibility and openness to wearing several hats. We are lean and things are always changing.\n\nEagerness to learn and grow with the company and your coworkers.\n\nPreferred\nExperience building and training predictive models (e.g. lead scoring, LTV, propensity, lookalike modeling).\n\nExperience with orchestration tools like Dagster, Airflow, Prefect and SQL transformation tools like dbt, SQLMesh.\n\nExperience with both transactional databases (e.g. Postgres, MySQL) and analytical databases (e.g. Snowflake, Redshift), with a bias toward the latter.\n\nFamiliarity with a cloud resource provider (e.g. AWS, GCP).\n\nFamiliarity with backend and ML/AI engineering.\n\nExperience with AI coding tools (e.g. Cursor, Claude Code, OpenCode) as a force multiplier.\n\nPrior work at an early-stage startup.\n\nYou don't need to tick every box. If you're strong on the engineering side and hungry to build models that matter, we want to hear from you.\nCompensation\nBase salary: $200,000 to $225,000, commensurate with experience. Competitive equity and a marquee benefits package.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5156,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["AI Agents","Marketing & Sales AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-06-24T14:35:11Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.205,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":113,"expected_fill_days":17,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":230000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/minerva-data-scientist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/minerva-data-scientist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T21:08:19Z","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":1958,"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":24947},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=24947"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fminerva-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%2Fminerva-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%2Fminerva-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/minerva-data-scientist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fminerva-data-scientist"}]}
