Principal Data Scientist

Company Overview: Blink Health is the fastest growing healthcare technology company that builds products to make prescriptions accessible and affordable to everybody. Our two primary products – BlinkRx and Quick Save – remove traditional roadblocks within the current prescription supply chain, resulting in better access to critical medications and improved health outcomes for patients. BlinkRx is the world’s first pharma-to-patient cloud that offers a digital concierge service for patients who are prescribed branded medications. Patients benefit from transparent low prices, free home delivery, and world-class support on this first-of-its-kind centralized platform.

You will sit at the intersection of data science, data engineering, and advanced analytics - building the algorithms, multidimensional models, and analytical frameworks that directly improve business outcomes and patient care. Critically, you will also influence your work: translating complex, multi-dimensional findings into clear narratives that business stakeholders can act on. What You'll Do - Develop a deep understanding of customer and patient behavior to identify unmet needs, sources of product friction, and opportunities to improve the customer experience. - Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Operations to translate customer insights into product strategy, roadmap prioritization, and measurable outcomes. - Define product success metrics and build measurement frameworks that evaluate customer engagement, adoption, retention, and business impact. - Design and build AI-powered analytical tools and agentic workflows that improve productivity, automate repetitive analyses, and enable more effective product decision-making. - Apply statistical modeling, predictive analytics, and exploratory analysis to better understand customer behavior and inform product strategy. - Build analytical tools and scalable data models that enable product teams to make faster, data-informed decisions. - Communicate clear, actionable insights and recommendations to executives and cross-functional stakeholders, influencing product strategy through data. - Mentor other data scientists and help establish best practices in experimentation, measurement, and analytical rigor. What You'll Need - 10+ years of experience in Data Science, Product Analytics, Statistics, Economics, or another quantitative discipline. - Demonstrated success translating ambiguous business problems into actionable analytical solutions. - Deep expertise in statistical analysis, experimentation, causal inference, and predictive modeling. - Experience applying modern AI technologies, including large language models (LLMs) and agentic workflows, to solve business problems and improve analytical productivity. - Expert proficiency in SQL and experience working with large, complex datasets. - Strong programming skills in Python, R, or another analytical programming language. - Experience partnering closely with Product and Engineering teams to guide product strategy through data. - Experience with BI and visualization tools such as Tableau, Databricks or similar platforms. - Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders, including executive leadership. - A pragmatic, business-oriented approach to solving complex problems with data. - A growth mindset, intellectual curiosity, and a passion for improving products through evidence-based decision making. Nice to Have - Experience building AI-powered applications, evaluation harnesses, and agentic workflows for production use. - Hands-on experience building and deploying production-grade machine learning and analytics solutions using Databricks (Delta Lake, MLflow, Feature Store, Model Serving, or related capabilities). - Experience working in healthcare, digital health, eCommerce, or consumer technology. - Experience mentoring data scientists and raising the bar for analytical excellence.
