0-to-1 Strategic Autonomy:
Proven ability to navigate high-ambiguity environments. You own the roadmap by evaluating the data, identifying untapped opportunities, and formulating your own research theories.

Responsibilities
Clutch is hiring a Staff Data Scientist to lead major improvements to our pricing algorithms and applied machine learning systems.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, can go deep on research and modeling, and has a track record of deploying ML to production with measurable business impact. You’ll work on ML systems that already drive real outcomes - including pricing models that purchase >$1M of vehicles per day with no human intervention - with significant opportunity to take them to the next level as we scale.
You’ll join a small, high-leverage data team where your work will be visible, measurable, and business-critical, with the chance to expand into additional high-impact ML domains like lending, logistics optimization, fraud detection, and recommendations. In this role, you’ll own problem areas end-to-end from identifying opportunities and shaping the approach, to shipping production models and driving measurable improvements in margin and conversion.
Own and drive improvements to Clutch’s pricing algorithms, balancing margin, conversion, and customer experience.
Deep-dive into market and vehicle data to identify the key relationships between vehicle attributes, market dynamics, and pricing outcomes.
