Recast is hiring a Junior Customer Data Scientist to help us build the future of media measurement. We’re looking for a self-starter who thrives in an independent work environment, takes initiative to solve problems, and is naturally curious. To be successful in this role, you’ll constantly seek out new information, explore innovative solutions, and prioritize action over waiting for direction.
In your first 6 months you will:
- Develop, maintain and manage automated data pipelines in R
- Develop a deep understanding of Recast’s model to interpret results
- Perform ad-hoc data analyses and assist with presenting the results to clients
You'll be a great fit if you have:
- Experience using R for data cleaning and exploratory data analysis
- Knowledge of basic statistical and experimental methods
- Experience presenting the results of analyses to both technical and non-technical audiences
Bonus points for:
- Prior use of version control (e.g. GitHub) for collaboration.
- Experience with Bayesian statistical modeling
Things that should excite you that might scare off other folks:
- Helping shape a startup—You’ll play a key role in defining processes, culture, and structure at an early stage.
- Working with a remote-first team—We have a distributed, global team and you’ll need to be comfortable with flexibility and independence.
- Working with some of the world’s largest brands - we help our clients measure the effectiveness of hundreds of millions of dollars of marketing spend, forecast future performance, optimize budgets, and plan experiments.
What we offer:
- Work from anywhere—We’re fully remote, so you can work where you’re happiest.
- Competitive salary + equity—We offer a competitive salary with equity to give you a stake in our success.
- Unlimited PTO—Along with a minimum of 2 weeks mandatory PTO, we encourage you to take time to recharge.
- Autonomy & support—You’ll have the freedom to manage your time and the resources you need to do your best work.
Diversity at Recast: We’re committed to building a diverse team, so if you come from an underrepresented background in tech (e.g., women, non-white communities), we strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t meet every single requirement.

What We Do
Recast is building the world’s most rigorous MMM platform. Here's how we're different:
1. We take accuracy (really) seriously.
From configuration, to stability checks, to parameter recovery exercises, to ongoing backtests – the Recast process holds every model to an incredibly high performance standard before and after delivery.
2. We don’t hide anything.
At Recast, we turn the black box into a glass box. We show uncertainty for all point estimates, send weekly model accuracy scorecards and publish all model docs openly. It helps our clients build trust in their models and hold us accountable as their vendor.
3. We’re obsessed with model quality.
More than 30% of the Recast team holds a PhD in math or statistics. Our research into upper & lower funnel channel interaction, time-varying ROIs, spike modeling, and more, continues to improve Recast's proprietary media mix model.
