Expert & Leadership (9+ years)
Hungryroot is using AI to build the most consumer-centric food and wellness company to ever exist. We are your personal assistant for healthy living. We get to know your goals, lifestyle, and budget, and we recommend and deliver healthy groceries, easy recipes and essential supplements for you and your family.

Founded on the belief that food is the foundation of health, convenience should not mean compromise, and we’re all unique in how we eat and live, Hungryroot is building a future in which healthy living is easy and enjoyable.
We are a distributed team built on top talent from over 28 states across the U.S. While we have a headquarters in New York City, we support employees working from wherever they are based. We believe in fostering team connection and collaboration across all of our employees' locations. Expect to attend regular team building events and an annual company retreat. Expect to be treated like an owner who cares about our common goal, not someone who has to clock in and out of work.
We are looking for a Director, Data Science (Machine Learning) to be a part of our growing Data Science team. You will be responsible for building and managing machine learning models to enhance personalization, optimize inventory, and streamline logistics. You will be a key leader in our team, driving ML strategy and, eventually, managing our ML division.
This role involves collaborating with various teams to translate business requirements into scalable machine learning solutions and owning the entire ML pipeline; from data exploration to model deployment, while staying up to date with industry advancements to apply innovative techniques effectively.
Important: This is a very hands-on role! At Hungryroot, we are all technical individual contributors in our respective fields. As such, the first several months as part of the team will be heavily weighted towards IC work, with managing a team coming later on.
