Nearly 30% of patients in the U.S. skip preventive or chronic care simply because they can’t get to a doctor’s office. For many, the ER becomes their first touchpoint with the healthcare system-driving over$300B in avoidable costs every year.\nBy using the same technologies that power leading marketplace and last-mile platforms, we deliver care where people are, especially those who need it most. So far, we’ve supported more than 2 million patients across 22 states, completed 130,000+ in-home visits, and maintained a 92 NPS. Our team of clinicians, technologists, and operators have raised over $125M to date investors like a16z, General Catalyst, GV, and Accel and enjoy multi-year runway.\nAbout the Role\nWe’re looking for a Data Scientist with an actuarial focus to quantify the long-term economic value of what Sprinter does. When we tell a health plan that finding and treating disease in the home lowers their cost of care over time, someone has to turn that claim into numbers the plan’s actuaries will trust. That is this role.\nYou will build the models yourself: total-cost-of-care and per-member-per-month (PMPM) projections from claims, medical-loss-ratio (MLR) impact, and a defensible account of how Sprinter’s interventions change cost and risk over a multi-year horizon. You will package those outputs so a customer’s actuarial team can plug them straight into their pricing, reserving, and bid work.\nThis is a hands-on, applied role, not an advisory one - we would rather you build the table than write a memo about it. The ideal candidate is a quantitative scientist who thinks like an actuary and is comfortable talking actuary-to-actuary with a payer’s medical-economics team. Formal actuarial credentials are welcome but not required; we care that you can do the work and defend it. This is a first-of-function role; you will define what good looks like.\nHybrid & Office Experience\nWe operate on a hybrid schedule, working from the office Monday through Thursday, with Fridays designated as work-from-anywhere days.\nWe care deeply about work-life balance and are happy to provide flexibility when life happens. We ask that employees be in the office Monday through Thursday to collaborate with their teams while maintaining flexibility where it matters most.\nLunch is provided every day, and the entire team takes an hour to eat together. It's one of the ways we stay connected outside of meetings. You'll usually find us playing a board game before getting back to work.\nWhat you will do:\nActuarial & Economic Modeling\nBuild total-cost-of-care, PMPM, and MLR models from claims data to quantify the long-term impact of Sprinter’s programs.\n\nProject how interventions change cost, utilization, and risk over multi-year horizons, and quantify the uncertainty around those projections.\n\nProduce model outputs and tables that a payer’s actuaries can plug directly into their pricing, reserving, and bid work.\n\nPayer Credibility & Commercial Support\nRepresent Sprinter in MLR and medical-economics conversations with health plans; go toe-to-toe with their actuaries.\n\nTurn analysis into value narratives that quality, risk, and finance teams can act on.\n\nHelp the commercial team price and sell Sprinter’s impact on an actuarial basis.\n\nMeasurement & Rigor\nDefine the yardstick for whether an intervention actually changed cost and outcomes, not just whether it correlated with them.\n\nPartner with Data Science on the causal and experimental design behind those measurements.\n\nBring an honest view of the line between value we can prove and value we can only assert.\n\nWhat you have done:\nDeep experience building actuarial or health-economic models from administrative claims: total cost of care, PMPM, utilization, trend, and risk.\n\nCommand of the methods payers price on - MLR, risk adjustment, and multi-year projection - and the judgment to know their limits.\n\nStrong SQL and Python or R, with the ability to build and own your models end to end.\n\nAbility to hold your own with actuaries and medical-economics teams, and to explain the analysis to non-technical stakeholders.\n\nHonesty about causal inference - what a given design can and cannot claim.\n\nWhat gives you an edge:\nActuarial credentials (ASA, FSA, MAAA, or actuarial exam progress) - welcome but not required.\n\nPayer-side, value-based-care, or risk-bearing experience; familiarity with Medicare Advantage, Stars, and risk adjustment.\n\nExperience producing analysis that a customer or partner built into their own pricing or reserving.\n\nFluency with AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) in your day-to-day development workflow.\n\nInterview Process:\nWe aim to complete the interview process between 2-3 weeks. It will usually consist of:\nRecruiter Screen (30 minutes)\n\nHiring Manager Introduction (30 minutes)\n\nHands-on-Keys Technical Assessment (1 hour)\n\nOnsite Interview: Systems Design / Technical Case Study + Research Presentation + Behavioral Interview + Lunch with the Team (4 hours)\n\nReferences\n\nWhat we offer:\nMeaningful pre-IPO equity\n\nMedical, dental, and vision plans 100% paid for you and your dependents\n\nFlexible PTO + 10 paid holidays per year\n\n401(k) with match\n\n16-week parental leave policy for birthing parent, 8 weeks for all other parents\n\nHSA + FSA contributions\n\nLife insurance, plus short and long-term disability coverage\n\nFree daily lunch in-office\n\nAnnual learning stipend","description_format":"text","description_chars":5528,"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":["Equity","Life insurance","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Home Care Services","Care Coordination & Population Health"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-27T19:32:33Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 10","filings_12m":10,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":157500,"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":3}],"liveness":{"score":3,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.125,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":83,"expected_fill_days":18,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-19T05:45:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sprinter-health-data-scientist-actuarial","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sprinter-health-data-scientist-actuarial.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-19T23:02:09Z","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":1956,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-20T00:00:00Z"}},"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":5046},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5046"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsprinter-health-data-scientist-actuarial"},{"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%2Fsprinter-health-data-scientist-actuarial"},{"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%2Fsprinter-health-data-scientist-actuarial"},{"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/sprinter-health-data-scientist-actuarial\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsprinter-health-data-scientist-actuarial"}]}
