Senior Machine Learning Scientist

Zeitworks is a Seattle based, venture-backed startup on a mission to streamline business process improvement and maximize human potential at work. We are looking for a product focused, results-oriented Senior Data Scientist who is excited to play a major role in our product and engineering evolution to build out a secure and scalable automated data pipeline and ML/AI capabilities. 

Organizations across the globe want to deliver greater value to their customers by improving their business processes. But they lack visibility and insight both into how these processes are actually performed and where to invest to drive the greatest impact. Traditionally delivering these improvements required expensive consultants, obtrusive over-the-shoulder observations, and countless meetings; taking months or years to deliver value. 

Looking beyond automation, Zeitworks uses proprietary ML and AI to automatically discover, analyze and improve all an organization’s business processes, with zero disruption, to provide real-time business insights to business leaders. Our friction-free SaaS delivery allows us to democratize process improvement providing on-going value to business leaders in days rather than months.
