The Economist/Applied Scientist will develop scalable solutions and models to address customer problems, collaborating with cross-functional teams and implementing tools for decision-making.
About Haus
Haus is a first of its kind decision science platform for the new digital privacy paradigm where data sharing and PII is restricted. Haus uses frontier causal inference based econometric models to run experiments and help brands understand how the actions they take in marketing, pricing and promotions impact the bottom line. Our team is comprised of former product managers, economists and engineers from Google, Netflix, Amazon and Meta who saw how costly it is to support high-quality decision science tooling and incrementality testing. Our mission is to make this technology available to all businesses, where all the heavy lifting of experiment design, data cleaning, and analysis/insights are taken care of for you. Haus is working with well known brands like FanDuel, Sonos, and Dr. Squatch, helping them achieve more than 30x ROI by running experiments to make more profitable decisions. We are backed by top VCs like Insight Partners, 01 Advisors, Baseline Ventures, and Haystack.
What You'll Do

The ideal candidate is a hands-on applied scientist who is excited to implement and deploy new models via scalable software solutions that drive value for customers. You thrive on execution and are able to use strong judgment and clear, succinct communication to drive the right decisions for delivering on our ambitious roadmap.
Responsibilities
- Implement innovative solutions that empower our customers to answer important business questions and drive decision-making.
- Own building solutions, models, and products while working cross-functionally with scientists and engineers to ingest customer data and deploy models and tools that deliver meaningful results on a regular cadence.
