About the role

Courtyard is hiring a Staff Data Scientist who operates more like a founder within the data function than a traditional big-tech analyst — someone self-driven enough to spot where DS can move the business, dig in unprompted, and land on a recommendation, not just an observation. You'll work across marketing, product, finance, and operations, in a business with a genuinely probabilistic core, so you should think naturally in ranges and likely outcomes.

What they're looking for

  • Self-driven — finds the valuable problem before it's handed to you, doesn't stop at "here's what the data shows"
  • Comfortable with real ambiguity and messy system — digs until you understand what's happening
  • Broad enough technically to navigate engineering/data infra and pair with AI on the hard parts, not just research
  • Strong quantitative intuition, including reasoning under uncertainty
  • Experience spanning multiple functions (marketing, product, finance, operations), not one narrow domain
  • Sharp communicator — turns analysis into recommendations leadership can act on
