About the role

  • We’re hiring a Lead Data Scientist to anchor one of the most important bets in our next chapter
  • Fullscript is building intelligence trained on real-world functional outcomes. Not textbook data. Not controlled trials. Real longitudinal practitioner data layered with our own prescribing and lab history
  • The hard part isn’t building models. It’s designing research that can credibly claim causality in messy, non-randomized healthcare data. Can we say that Protocol X led to Outcome Y, and stand behind it with confidence?
  • You’ll define how we approach causal research, set the methodological standard, and turn complex clinical data into insight the business can actually use.
  • The output of this role will shape product direction, influence executive decisions, and determine whether this initiative becomes foundational to the company’s future
  • This is a high bar. We’re looking for someone who’s comfortable owning it
  • Designing rigorous observational research frameworks that move beyond correlation toward defensible causal inference
  • Addressing confounding, selection bias, missingness, and other structural challenges in real-world healthcare data
  • Extracting outcome intelligence from newly acquired longitudinal practitioner datasets
  • Connecting prescribing patterns, lab data, and behavioral signals into coherent analytical narratives
  • Establishing methodological standards that protect the integrity of our claims
  • Translating complex statistical findings into clear implications for Product, Marketing, and executive stakeholders
  • Leading and mentoring a small data team while remaining deeply hands-on in research and modeling
  • Building repeatable research processes that can scale as new data flows in

  • Strong Python proficiency and hands-on experience with statistical modeling libraries
  • Experience leading or mentoring other data professionals while maintaining technical depth
  • Demonstrated experience designing studies in observational healthcare data where randomization is not available
  • A track record of translating analytical insight into tangible business or product decisions
  • Practical understanding of the pitfalls in real-world clinical datasets, including confounding variables, selection effects, and incomplete outcome signals
  • Advanced training in statistics, biostatistics, econometrics, or a related field with deep expertise in causal inference
