Founding Data Scientist

Assort Health

Building Healthcare That Remembers

Every time you call a doctor's office, the system forgets you the moment you hang up. You wait on hold, explain everything from scratch, get bounced between lines, and hope someone follows up. Everyone has felt this. No one should have to.

At Assort Health, we're building one continuous conversation for every patient. An AI agent that knows who you are, remembers how you like to be reached, and carries that context from your first symptom to your full recovery. What began as the first voice AI agent to schedule a specialty appointment has become the largest proprietary specialty dataset in healthcare: 190 million patient interactions, 62,000 care protocols, 1.6 million decision pathways.

We went from 15 people in 2025 and will cross 250 by the end of 2026. Revenue is up 20x in 15 months and we've raised $222 million, including a recent $120 million Series C at a $1.2 billion valuation. We've also been named to the Forbes Cloud 100 and the 2026 Enterprise Tech 30 as the only healthcare AI company on the list!

Healthcare spends $1.1 trillion a year on administration instead of care. If you want to help change that, apply below.

Role

You'll be our first dedicated Data hire — owning everything from pipelines to dashboards to ad-hoc analysis. You'll directly unblock Product, RevOps, Marketing, Finance and CS, collaborate closely with Engineering and Ops Analyst teams; while building the data foundation of our organization and our agents as we continue scaling on.

What You'll Own
  • All analytics pipelines, data pond, and data schemas (our source of truth)
  • Customer health monitoring, alerting and predictive analytics / churn risk
  • Outcome labeling and eval datasets for our AI agents
  • Agent funnel analysis, prioritization and working with a Conversation Designer
  • Client facing dashboards and QBR reporting (Omni / Looker)
  • Experiment setup, new metrics, go/no-go decisions (Statsig)
  • ETL pipelines from 3rd party databases like EHRs, CRMs and whatcomes.
  • You will develop the systems for long-term agent memory
  • Responsible for data quality, completeness and uptime
  • MORE
  • You tell us
What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years in analytics engineering, data science, or analytics-heavy roles
  • Strong SQL and Python — you write production-quality code
  • ETL experience — you've built and maintained data pipelines
  • Track record of shipping data products: dashboards, alerting, reporting systems
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and moving fast at a startup
  • Strong x-functional collaboration and decision making
  • Experience deploying internal AI Agents to uplevel the broader team
  • Bias toward pragmatic solutions
Nice to Haves
  • Healthcare / EHR experience, HIPAA familiarity
  • Omni, Temporal, GCP
  • Experience with AI agent evals, monitoring and testing
What's Ahead
  • Agent Backtest / Golden Datasets
  • Patient profiles, deep personalization based on past interactions and relevant medical history.
  • You'll help define and hire another Data person later in 2026 as we keep on scaling.
Benefits & Perks for Assorties
  • Competitive Compensation – Including salary and employee stock options so you share in our success.
  • Lifelong Learning – Annual budget for professional development, plus training opportunities to help you grow.
  • Office Setup Stipend – We'll outfit your in-office workspace so comfy as it's productive.
  • Top-Tier Health Coverage – Medical, dental, and vision insurance, because your health comes first.
  • Unlimited PTO – We trust you to take the time you need to recharge and come back ready to crush it.
  • Meals & Snacks – Lunch, dinner, and snack breaks that fuel great ideas.
  • Fitness Stipend – Your wellness matters. We reimburse monthly membership costs to support your health.
  • Commuter Benefits – We cover eligible transportation costs to make your trip to work easier.
  • 401(k) – Build your retirement savings.
How We Work & What We Value

Our team at Assort Health moves fast, stays focused, and is fueled by a desire to serve our customers and patients. Our company values guide how we work—they are present in how we show up, make decisions and work together to move our mission forward. We bring a Day One Drive, relentlessly striving to improve, keep a 5-Star Focus, as our customers are our lifeblood, always Answer the Call, remembering that ownership and accountability are paramount, and show up with One Pulse, because we are one team, with one rhythm and one result. Our team is growing and we are looking for motivated, hardworking, and passionate talent. If you want to make healthcare accessible for everyone, we'd love to hear from you!
