About the role

Upstart is seeking a Principal Data Scientist to drive strategic analytics across product and growth. The role partners with product, ML, and finance to shape decision-making, build forecasting and attribution tools, and guide experiments across subscription-based analytics initiatives. The position emphasizes translating complex data work into clear narratives, owning analyses end-to-end, and influencing without direct authority while operating in a remote-first, US-wide setup.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
