Data Scientist I - Remote

About the company

Trestlespring HQ runs an online marketplace where homeowners book local handymen, cleaners and movers. We ship small changes daily rather than big quarterly releases.

Trestlespring HQ needs someone comfortable with both statistics and production code. Applied data science role. We care more about whether your model gets used than about its AUC on a holdout set. Remote, open to candidates across Canada. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short.

Your responsibilities

• Develop time series forecasts with Prophet, statsmodels or gradient-boosted approaches
• Validate model performance and document assumptions and limitations
• Package reusable code instead of leaving it in one-off notebooks
• Estimate causal effects with difference-in-differences, propensity matching or regression discontinuity
• Review peers' analyses for statistical correctness
• Present findings to product, marketing and finance leaders with clear recommendations

What we're looking for

• 1+ years of applied data science experience
• Strong Python (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn) and SQL
• MS or PhD in statistics, economics, computer science, physics or another quantitative field, or a BS plus equivalent experience

Nice to have

• Published research or strong Kaggle results
• MLflow or another experiment tracking tool

Perks and benefits

• Extended health and dental benefits
• RRSP matching
• Paid vacation
• Flexible hours
• Employee and family assistance program
• Annual bonus
• Home office allowance

Applicants must be legally entitled to work in Canada.

Start: Within 30 days.
