You thrive on uncovering hidden patterns, validating hypotheses, and embedding machine learning models into real-world AI applications. If that sounds like you — read on.

AlgaeCal is looking for a top-tier Associate Data Scientist who can turn raw information into strategies that drive measurable results.

This job will give you ALL the feels:

At AlgaeCal, we're driven by a single idea: to end the fear of bone loss. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have low bone density. The good news? AlgaeCal has the world's only clinically-backed natural solution to this problem. We give hope to everyone worried about bone loss. If that excites you, you'll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal.

This job might be for you if you've got…

• Data Science experience backed by real results — you've built predictive models, optimized AI applications, and refined data architectures with measurable business impact. You translate data into actionable insights that drive decisions.
• Serious coding skills in Python or R — you know how to build and refine machine learning models that actually work, using statistical modeling and data science tools to solve complex problems.
• Expertise in SQL and relational databases — writing efficient queries, optimizing data structures, and working with large datasets to ensure data is organized, accessible, and ready for analysis.
• Deep understanding of machine learning algorithms — whether regression, clustering, or neural networks, you choose the right approach for the right challenge and understand how models work under the hood.
• Hands-on experience with data warehouses such as BigQuery — you can design, maintain, and optimize scalable data storage solutions that support robust analytics.
• A knack for standardizing and improving data models — you've refined schemas and improved architectures to ensure efficiency, accuracy, and usability at scale.
• A laser-sharp eye for detail — you spot trends, outliers, and opportunities others miss, ensuring models and analytics stay on point.
• An entrepreneurial approach to data — you think strategically about how data creates business value and proactively identify new ways AI and ML can drive efficiency, sales, and profitability.
• Industry experience in CPG, e-commerce, or health/supplements is a big plus — you understand how data shapes customer experience, optimizes operations, and maximizes ROI.
