We make it easy to rent high-quality items exactly when you need them - with fast, convenient fulfillment and an on-demand experience that’s as seamless as shopping.\nWe’re building a new kind of commerce layer: one powered by dynamic local supply, where access is more convenient. Pickle is now live nationwide and scaling rapidly in key local markets including NYC, LA, and Miami. Our marketplace already features 300K+ items listed for rent, and we’re just getting started.\nWhat makes Pickle different is the combination of incredible peer-to-peer inventory, industry-leading convenience (under 2 days nationwide and under 2 hours locally), and an on-demand model with no subscriptions - users rent what they want, when they want it. Backed by our Series A funding raised in early 2025 from FirstMark and Craft, we’re scaling quickly and building the future of access-driven shopping.\nAbout The Role\nYou will be the strategic partner to the Founders, answering the billion-dollar question: How do we scale efficiently?\nYou will be the detective solving the complex puzzle of a two-sided marketplace. One day, you might be modeling price elasticity to determine how a 5% discount impacts contribution margin. The next, you’ll be digging into referral data to engineer a viral loop that lowers our CAC by half. You will hunt down the \"why\" behind every chart, discovering the invisible friction points that hold us back and the hidden behaviors that unlock massive growth.\nIf you are a \"Grinder\"-someone who loves the thrill of a hard problem and can’t put it down until you’ve found the solution-this is your playground.\nResponsibilities\nGrowth Strategy & Acquisition\nPricing & Incentive Strategy: Design and test dynamic pricing models and incentive structures (e.g., first-order discounts, owner bonuses). You will mathematically determine how to stoke demand and aid conversion without eroding our contribution profit margins, ensuring every dollar of \"discount\" generates long-term ROI.\n\nThe Growth Equation: Model our acquisition channels (Organic, Paid, Referral, Ambassadors). You will identify which channels have the highest LTV/CAC ratio and tell us where to double down.\n\nViral Loops: Analyze our referral and sharing behaviors. You will calculate our K-factor (virality) and identify product changes to keep our users as our best marketing channel.\n\nMarketplace Liquidity & Retention\nSupply-Led Growth: Analyze how inventory levels drive organic growth. Does adding 100 power owners in Chicago unlock 1,000 new customers? You will tell us where to focus supply acquisition.\n\nThe \"Magic Moments\": Identify the specific user behaviors that lead to long-term retention (e.g., \"Users who rent within 7 days of signup retain at 3x\").\n\nChurn Prediction: Build models to identify at-risk users before they leave, allowing our CX team to intervene.\n\nProduct Conversion (CRO)\nFunnel Optimization: Own the granular analysis of our demand and supply funnels. You will find the leaks in the bucket and design A/B tests to plug them.\n\nExperimentation: Help the product team design valid experiments. You ensure we aren't just shipping features, but moving metrics with statistical significance.\n\nRequirements\nThe \"Grinder\" Mentality: You are relentlessly curious. You are the type of person who can't put something down until you figure out the why.\n\nGrowth Native: You speak the language of growth: CAC, LTV, ROAS, K-Factor, Churn, and Cohorts. You understand that \"Data Science\" is a tool to make money and grow the user base.\n\nProduct Fluency: You understand product growth loops and can quickly execute and extract insights from demand funnels and A/B tests\n\n5+ Years Experience: Ideally in a Consumer Marketplace or high-growth B2C app. You have seen how a company scales and understand the data infrastructure needed to support it.\nNote: We are open to less experience if you have exceptional raw talent and a portfolio of solving complex growth problems.\n\nTechnical Fluency: Expert-level SQL. Proficient in Python/R for modeling. Experience with growth stacks (PostHog, Mixpanel, AppsFlyer, Segment) and visualization tools.\n\nBenefits\nCompetitive compensation and equity\n\nHealthcare (Medical, Dental, Vision)\n\nTake what you need paid time off\n\nMeal Pal credits to cover the cost of lunch\n\nStipend to help set up your desk and office environment\n\nWork directly with the founders and executive team\n\nProfessional coaching, training, and development\n\nGrow with the company\n\nPickle credits for our employees, we love when the team uses Pickle!\n\nFun team events and company parties\n\nCompany offsites\n\nOffice space in NYC","description_format":"text","description_chars":4769,"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":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Online Rental Platforms","Social Commerce"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-01-08T13:39:42Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Filed H-1B visas in the last two years","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.187,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":280,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/pickle-data-scientist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/pickle-data-scientist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T19:44:18Z","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":42,"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":8468},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8468"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpickle-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%2Fpickle-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%2Fpickle-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/pickle-data-scientist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpickle-data-scientist"}]}
