Senior Data Scientist

About the Role

Hinge Health is expanding from digital PT into full musculoskeletal care through HingeSelect, which enables members to self-select into in-person visits, specialist referrals, and other care pathways. As we scale this offering, we need a Senior Product Data Scientist to own analytics, experimentation, and measurement across the Visits and Discovery experience.

This is a 0-to-1 role. You will be the dedicated data scientist on HingeSelect's discovery and visits experience, partnering directly with Product and Engineering to diagnose conversion bottlenecks, establish causal guardrails against cannibalization of existing programs, and ensure strong instrumentation so every product bet has a clear feedback loop to business impact. You will also model how provider capacity and member demand interact to optimize supply-demand dynamics across the care network.

The ideal candidate is a strong product data scientist who is comfortable in ambiguous, greenfield environments — defining metrics from scratch, designing experiments, and building the analytics foundation for a new product surface. You should be fluent in AI-assisted development and able to translate ambiguous business questions into rigorous analytical frameworks.

Our stack: Python, SQL, dbt, Mode, Databricks, Airflow, Statsig, AWS

What You'll Accomplish

• Build the measurement and experimentation foundation for HingeSelect's Visits and Discovery experience — from instrumentation design through causal analysis and metric reporting.

• Diagnose conversion bottlenecks across the HingeSelect funnel (discovery, selection, scheduling, visit completion) and partner with Product to prioritize highest-leverage interventions.

• Design and execute experiments with causal guardrails to measure HingeSelect's incremental impact while detecting and preventing cannibalization of existing digital PT engagement.

• Model supply-demand dynamics — how provider capacity, geographic coverage, and member demand interact — to inform network strategy and capacity planning.

• Define the data architecture for HingeSelect from scratch: event taxonomy, data models, and metric definitions that enable reliable downstream analysis and AI agent consumption.

• Build and maintain dashboards and self-service tools that give Product, Engineering, and leadership real-time visibility into funnel performance and experiment results.

• Advocate for upstream instrumentation best practices, working with Engineering to ensure events are captured server-side with consistent schemas and timestamps.

• Apply machine learning and predictive modeling to forecast member behavior, segment demand, and identify high-value intervention points across the care selection journey.

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in Data Science, Product Analytics, or related fields.

• 5+ years of experience with Python and SQL, with the ability to transform complex data into actionable insights.

• Experience designing and analyzing A/B tests and other experimental frameworks.

• Proven ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable insights and communicate findings effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Experience building dashboards and reports for monitoring product or operational metrics using tools like Mode, Tableau, or similar.

• Experience with productionalizing data models and ETL pipelines.

Preferred Qualifications

• 1+ years of experience with machine learning and predictive modeling.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant field (Data Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, etc.).

• Prior experience in healthcare, wellness, or digital health environments, particularly in fitness technologies or real-time feedback systems.

• Knowledge of cloud infrastructure and tools such as AWS, Databricks, and Airflow.

Hinge Health Hybrid Model

We believe that remote work and in-person work have their own advantages and disadvantages, and we want to be able to leverage the best of both worlds. Employees in hybrid roles are required to be in the office 3 days/week.
