Staff Data Science Tech Lead (Training)

WHOOP is an advanced health and fitness wearable, on a mission to unlock human performance. WHOOP empowers its members to improve their health and perform at a higher level by providing a deep understanding of their bodies and daily lives.As a Staff Data Science Tech Lead on our Training team, you will develop algorithmic features and metrics that capture aspects of daily movement, exercise, and training. Leveraging various data sources to combine WHOOP data with “gold standard” truth data, as well as drawing upon clinical theory and evidence, you will work with a team of data scientists to design, train, deploy, and maintain machine learning algorithms to provide insights to members on a wide range of topics. As part of our production data science team, you’ll work with MLOps engineers to create and maintain robust services that host data science algorithms. You’ll partner with the product team to identify new opportunities where we can leverage our large datasets to offer novel insights to our members. This role will serve as a technical leader for the Data Science Training team but will not directly manage other individual contributors.RESPONSIBILITIES:

In this role you will be responsible for designing, developing, and implementing WHOOP algorithms using large-scale machine learning models. These models use data collected via the WHOOP Strap and mobile application to capture unique aspects of an individual’s behavior and physiology, helping members achieve their health and fitness goals.Work closely with a team of data scientists in developing algorithms that power member-facing features, managing a portfolio of projects in various stages of development at any given timeConduct literature reviews and research projects to power evidence-based features for Members, continuously improving the teams’ knowledge of physiological and data science methodsCollaborate with WHOOP Labs and our in-house clinical research team to design novel studies to collect “ground truth” data necessary for training machine learning algorithmsCreate, improve, and maintain production services that provide analysis for movement, exercise, and training in collaboration with MLOps EngineersWork with Data Engineers to improve data pipelining, tooling for machine learning, and systems for quality and validationMentor other data scientists on the team, regularly providing actionable feedback for more junior data scientists on both technical and non-technical aspectsPeriodically serve as the on-call data scientist to respond in real time to incidents affecting production servicesQUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field7+ years of full-time professional experience in a related area7+ years experience applying advanced mathematical and statistical techniquesSignificant experience working with time series data, preferably with wearable data applicationsProficiency in scientific Python and SQLExperience deploying services and maintaining live code through logging and monitoring within a production environmentExcellent verbal and written communication skillsThis role is based in the WHOOP office located in Boston, MA. The successful candidate must be prepared to relocate if necessary to work out of the Boston, MA office.Interested in the role, but don’t meet every qualification? We encourage you to still apply! At WHOOP, we believe there is much more to a candidate than what is written on paper, and we value character as much as experience. As we continue to build a diverse and inclusive environment, we encourage anyone who is interested in this role to apply.WHOOP is an Equal Opportunity Employer and participates in E-verify to determine employment eligibility.
