About Solace

Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate it without help. Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare by pairing patients with expert advocates and giving them the tools to make better decisions—and get better outcomes.

We're a Series C startup, founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures, Signalfire, and IVP. Our U.S. based team is lean, mission-driven, and growing quickly.

Solace isn't a place to coast. We're here to redefine healthcare—and that demands urgency, precision, and heart. If you're looking to stretch yourself, sharpen your edge, and do the best work of your life alongside a team that cares deeply, you're in the right place. We’re intense, and we like it that way.

This is a rare chance to learn data science from the inside out at one of the fastest-growing healthcare startups in the country. As an Associate Data Scientist at Solace, you'll work on the forecasting and machine learning systems that operate our marketplace in real time: matching patients with advocates, predicting demand, and keeping the business ahead of its own growth.

You won't spend your first year re-deriving textbook exercises. You'll contribute to real models with mentorship from senior data scientists, and you'll be expected to think independently, question your own results, and defend your methodology. You don't need years of experience, but you do need an innate ability to get things done.

This role is for the ambitious, the curious, and those who don't shy away from feedback. If you're the kind of person who sees a problem and can't resist solving it, keep reading.

This is an in person role in our Redwood City office, 3 days a week.

• Contribute to real predictive models in your first weeks: forecasting, matching, and scoring systems that the business runs on.

• Pull and wrangle your own data with SQL from Snowflake. Nobody hands you a clean CSV here.

• Support the design and analysis of A/B tests and experiments, learning how to measure the true impact of product and operational changes.

• Work alongside data engineers to see how models get from a notebook into production, learning MLOps practices as you go.

• Apply statistics with rigor: knowing when a result is real, when it's noise, and how to tell the difference.

• Present your findings and defend your methodology to technical and non-technical audiences. Your voice matters here, even on day one.

• Grow your craft: learn how to frame problems, validate models, design experiments, and make smart modeling decisions.

• A bachelor's or master's degree in Statistics, Data Science, Computer Science, Applied Math, or a related quantitative field (or equivalent practical experience), graduating between December 2026 and June 2027.

• Strong fundamentals in statistics and probability: hypothesis testing, regression, and the judgment to know when your model is fooling you.

• Working Python skills, including the core data science ecosystem (pandas, scikit-learn, Num Py), plus working SQL.

• Projects that show you can do…
