Job summary

Courtyard.io, a remote-first collectibles startup, seeks a Staff Data Scientist who operates like a founder within the data function. You will identify where DS can move the business, dive in proactively, and deliver concrete recommendations across marketing, product, finance, and operations.

Qualifications

• 6+ years industry DS/analytics experience at senior/staff-level scope.

Responsibilities

• Proactively find where DS can create leverage across marketing, product, finance, and operations.
• Lead ambiguous, high-stakes investigations end-to-end — launches, marketing, pricing, product, ops bottlenecks — to a clear recommendation.
• Reason rigorously under uncertainty — comfortable with ranges and simulated outcomes, not just point estimates.
• Dig into root cause yourself, across systems, without much hand-holding.
• Own core data models and metric definitions, pairing with AI on the deep technical lifting rather than needing it handed off.
• Push self-serve, AI-assisted analytics so fewer things require a dedicated data scientist.
