Role

Who you are

  • Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical peers

  • Wide-ranging professional experience solving complex business problems, and shipping/maintaining Python in a production environment

  • Aptitude to rapidly iterate and deliver technical solutions that maximize business impact
  • Expertise with numerical software packages such as NumPy, scikit-learn, etc
  • Able to manage product ambiguity, seeking clarity when possible
  • Are accountable end-to-end for your own projects, through planning, deployment, maintenance, and monitoring. You spot and address potential issues early
  • We're looking for generalist data scientists who are excited to jump into new problems and write production-quality code

Desirable

  • Designing systems to optimize portfolio allocation in a two-sided marketplace (E.g., ideal matches of people needing and providing care, automated financial incentives to staff remaining shifts, hiring needs, demand forecasting, etc.)
  • Using survival analysis and related methods to evaluate risk of employee churn and to predict future high-performers
  • Using NLP methods to build data products from a variety of unstructured data sources, including phone calls and website forms
  • Applying spatial statistics to incorporate geographic and regional differences in a variety of problem contexts

What the job involves

  • We’re looking for data scientists to join our team
  • You'll develop statistical and machine learning models to improve our operations platform and help us provide a better service to our clients
  • Leverage data to solve meaningful problems with appropriate complexity
  • Collaborate with a diverse team across engineering, PM, and care operations to define a strategy and execute against it
  • Research operational/logistical problems and proactively identify potential solutions
  • Lead the design, implementation, and evaluation of descriptive and predictive models
  • Integrate machine learning into user-facing applications
  • Mentor and provide technical oversight on teammates' projects throughout the project lifecycle

Our take

Longer life expectancy and an aging population has resulted in the significant growth of the home-based care industry, as nearly 90% of people over the age of 50 wish to live in their homes as long as possible.

Honor is a technology-enabled home care company that partners with local care agencies, who leverage its infrastructure to handle back-office functions such as billing, scheduling, and staffing. The company currently provides non-medical home care services to people across the United States, supporting over 100,000 care professionals.

Boasting the world's largest home care network, the company's advanced care platform is revolutionizing how society cares for older adults. Powering over 1 million hours of care each week and with a number of key leadership hires announced over 2024, Honor is well set to see continued growth.
