Data Scientist @ Sunshine

You’re Brilliant. We’re Hiring.

You are an accomplished data scientist that thrives in analyzing data and finding key insights. We are a small, fast growing start-up, eager to build meaningful, everyday apps at scale. Our first product is Sunshine Contacts, but we are excited about building so much more with your help.

We are passionate about making the mundane magical: building everyday apps that put people first and quietly solve problems using sophisticated technology.

As an early team member, we want people who take initiative in exploring new ideas and work well independently. We are not partial to specific languages or technologies.

If working in a fast-paced environment where you will play a key role in helping us analyze and maintain large data sets sounds interesting to you, please consider applying!
