Data Scientist

We’re Changing the Rentals Industry

We’re a profitable, growth-stage company specializing in industry-leading martech and data SaaS products for the rentals industry. Originally known for building and operating one of the U.S.’s largest rental marketplaces, Rentable, we have since expanded our portfolio to include two high-growth products: an AI mar-tech solution and ApartmentIQ, a category-leading competitive intelligence software.

We’re a 100% remote team of 90+ spread across the U.S. from coast to coast. We operate on a strict no a**holes policy, and are proud to have built a community of highly performant people that take our work seriously, but not ourselves. And, we're looking for exceptional people to help further accelerate our growth.

While we’ve raised $30MM+ to date from some of the world’s best investors, we’re profitable with a strong balance sheet and an indefinite runway. We pride ourselves on achieving rapid growth without having to incinerate capital.

If you like the idea of joining an industry-changing company made up of people who genuinely like each other, Rentable could be a great fit for you.

Autonomy, curiosity, and the ability to make recommendations in uncertain situations are essential.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and deploy predictive models using machine learning algorithms (e.g., regression, decision trees, random forests, neural networks) to forecast trends, optimize decision-making processes, and improve business outcomes. Apply advanced statistical techniques and machine learning algorithms to analyze large datasets, identify patterns, and predict future trends.
• Develop predictive models to forecast key performance measures and customer behavior, iterating based on usage data and feedback.
• Create data visualizations, dashboards, and reports to communicate insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to integrate your solutions into the product, assess model performance (accuracy, precision, recall, AUC-ROC), and refine algorithms over time.
• Lead discussions and presentations on data-driven insights with stakeholders, showing your work and facilitating decision-making across key stakeholders

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or related field.
• 4+ years of experience as a Data Scientist, demonstrating a strong ability to leverage data in business settings.
• Proficient in Python or R, and familiar with libraries for data manipulation and analysis.
• Solid understanding of statistical concepts and machine learning algorithms (e.g., regression, classification, clustering).
• Skilled in data visualization tools (e.g., Matplotlib, Seaborn, Tableau) and big data technologies (e.g., Hadoop, Spark).
• Experience with SQL, database technologies, deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch), and NLP techniques.
• Relevant certifications in machine learning, data science, or cloud computing are a plus.
• Excellent organizational skills, effective communication, and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• High degree of attention to detail, and motivated to take initiative in analyzing, experimenting, and learning
