The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate it without help. Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare by pairing patients with expert advocates and giving them the tools to make better decisions-and get better outcomes.\nWe're a Series C startup, founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures, Signalfire, and IVP. Our U.S. based team is lean, mission-driven, and growing quickly.\nSolace isn't a place to coast. We're here to redefine healthcare-and that demands urgency, precision, and heart. If you're looking to stretch yourself, sharpen your edge, and do the best work of your life alongside a team that cares deeply, you're in the right place. We’re intense, and we like it that way.\nRead more in our Bloomberg funding announcementhere.\nAbout the Role\nThis is a rare chance to learn data science from the inside out at one of the fastest-growing healthcare startups in the country. As an Associate Data Scientist at Solace, you'll work on the forecasting and machine learning systems that operate our marketplace in real time: matching patients with advocates, predicting demand, and keeping the business ahead of its own growth.\nYou won't spend your first year re-deriving textbook exercises. You'll contribute to real models with mentorship from senior data scientists, and you'll be expected to think independently, question your own results, and defend your methodology. You don't need years of experience, but you do need an innate ability to get things done.\nThis role is for the ambitious, the curious, and those who don't shy away from feedback. If you're the kind of person who sees a problem and can't resist solving it, keep reading.\nThis is an in-person role for new college graduates in our Redwood City office, 3 days a week. Start date: July 2027.\nWhat You'll Do\nContribute to real predictive models in your first weeks: forecasting, matching, and scoring systems that the business runs on.\n\nPull and wrangle your own data with SQL from Snowflake. Nobody hands you a clean CSV here.\n\nSupport the design and analysis of A/B tests and experiments, learning how to measure the true impact of product and operational changes.\n\nWork alongside data engineers to see how models get from a notebook into production, learning MLOps practices as you go.\n\nApply statistics with rigor: knowing when a result is real, when it's noise, and how to tell the difference.\n\nPresent your findings and defend your methodology to technical and non-technical audiences. Your voice matters here, even on day one.\n\nGrow your craft: learn how to frame problems, validate models, design experiments, and make smart modeling decisions.\n\nWhat You Bring to the Table\nA bachelor's or master's degree in Statistics, Data Science, Computer Science, Applied Math, or a related quantitative field (or equivalent practical experience), graduating between December 2026 and June 2027.\n\nStrong fundamentals in statistics and probability: hypothesis testing, regression, and the judgment to know when your model is fooling you.\n\nWorking Python skills, including the core data science ecosystem (pandas, scikit-learn, NumPy), plus working SQL.\n\nProjects that show you can do real quantitative work: research, internships, Kaggle competitions, hackathons, or personal modeling projects. We care about what you've built and what you learned from it, not just what you studied.\n\nA bias toward action. You have an exceptional craving for momentum, and you'd rather ship a simple model that works than polish a complex one that never launches.\n\nCuriosity for how systems work, comfort with ambiguity, and a refined palate for controlled chaos.\n\nConfident communication. You can explain a model to someone who has never heard of one, and take critique of your methodology without defensiveness.\n\nA sense of care. You take pride in the details, because in healthcare data, the details are the difference.\n\nA hunger to learn and an ego small enough to admit when you don't know something.\n\nBonus Points\nExposure to time-series forecasting (ARIMA, Prophet, exponential smoothing).\n\nCoursework or projects in causal inference or experimental design.\n\nFamiliarity with dbt, Airflow, Docker, or cloud environments (AWS).\n\nExperience with NLP or unstructured text data.\n\nUp for the Challenge?\nWe look forward to meeting you.\nFraudulent Recruitment Advisory: Solace Health will NEVER request bank details or offer employment without an interview.
