Senior Data Scientist - Remote, United States - UrbanFootprint
Description
Taking the next step in your career with UrbanFootprint will set you on the path to revolutionizing how organizations make decisions.
UrbanFootprint is the world's first Urban Intelligence Platform – trusted by some of the largest energy utilities, financial institutions, government agencies, urban planning firms, and mobility companies in the US to provide geospatial insights and find signal through noise to inform site selection, infrastructure investment, resource distribution, and much more. We do this by unifying and normalizing previously siloed data on climate, environmental, urban, and socio-economic factors to surface powerful and actionable data insights.
UrbanFootprint's mission is to Build Resilience by empowering organizations with critical data insights to drive decision making and allow them to Never Wonder Where. Our customers answer complex 'where' questions in minutes versus weeks, months, or years, such as:
Led by our co-founders, Joe DiStefano and Peter Calthorpe, we are tackling a $22B market opportunity. We've won awards including Inc. Magazine's Best in Business and have been named one of Fast Company's World's Most Innovative Companies. We raised a $25M Series B and our investors include Social Capital, Citi Ventures, Valo Ventures, 2150.VC, A/O Proptech, Assured Guaranty, and Radicle Impact.
Don't wonder where to go next, we've got the perfect spot for you
The role
As a Senior Data Scientist focused on Climate Risk, you will contribute to the evolution of UrbanFootprint's climate and hazard risk-based data products, including Physical Climate Risk, Grid Resilience Insights, and Municipal Bonds Insights. These products are designed to help asset managers and financial institutions make investment decisions by taking into account climate hazard risk, community impacts and vulnerability, and physical infrastructure and the built environment. These data products leverage our parcel-level map of all properties across the US to facilitate decision-making for scales ranging from parcels and neighborhoods to states and the entire US.
As a product-minded and pragmatic data scientist, you know how to appropriately scope projects to ensure we deliver what customers need today and have ideas for improving in the future. You are autonomous, not independent; you work collaboratively with business partners to understand the 'what' and 'why' and take full ownership of figuring out the 'how' to meet those needs. You proactively communicate progress and are accountable for the validity, accuracy, and applicability of all the models you build. You take pride in the models you build and recognize that solutions don't need to be perfect to make a difference in the world.
What you'll do:
Your background most likely includes:
Bonus qualifications:
Target salary: $130,000 - $200,000, plus bonus eligibility and equity.
