Paced is a new take on a personal productivity tool: a calendar that cares about your well-being. Our ultimate goal is to help people create a personalized schedule that maximizes productivity without neglecting personal life, sleep and rest, so they would never feel exhausted after a workday. Happy, balanced life is a marathon, not a sprint.

We do that by combining data from your calendar, health data from your wearables, predicting circadian patterns based on your sleep, and applying behavioral science on top of all of that.

Role overview

As our Senior Data Scientist, you will be bringing insights into people’s lives to help them achieve work-life balance at the next level. You will own the entire DS roadmap and related RnD from formulating a hypothesis, planning privacy-first data collection, and then executing and validating the ideas.

Currently, we’re expecting you to be a team of one and be proficient across the whole stack, but as we grow, the opportunity to manage a team will arise.

What we’re expecting from you

Currently, Paced’s algorithm for understanding a user's day and energy/stress patterns is in its infancy. So we want you to focus on creating and delivering a roadmap to make it more mature: requiring less input from the user and providing more relevant insights. Or you could get bonus points for pitching us a better plan.
