About the role

Clipboard https://www.clipboardhealth.com/ is a Sequoia-backed marketplace connecting nurses and healthcare professionals with long-term care facilities, with over $800M in annual transactions.
You'd be joining a three-person quantitative pod with a dedicated engineering rotation that has spent the last year shipping auction systems in a live, two-sided market.
We're now formalizing that work into a dedicated Applied Science function.

Concretely, you'll be building pricing algorithms, designing auction mechanisms that shape how supply and demand interact, developing attendance and reliability models that determine worker↔workplace relationships, and constructing the experiment frameworks the rest of the org runs its ideas through.
Methods in play include causal identification (diff-in-diff, IV, regression discontinuity), cluster-randomized trial design, discrete-time hazard modeling, mechanism design, and anomaly detection on marketplace time series.

Bachelor's degree in quantitative field: economics, statistics, engineering, mathematics, etc or commensurate practical experience.
Comfort querying data directly (SQL or equivalent)
Experience designing and analyzing controlled experiments
Sharp experimental intuition: you know the difference between a valid identification strategy and a plausible-sounding one, and you've defended that distinction in front of a skeptical audience.

we'll be direct about where you'd land.
This will be a hybrid role, with the expectation of working at least three days per week out of our office in San Francisco.
