Applied Data Scientist (Tier 1 College only)

About LUNA:

Luna is a health intelligence company. We build AI-native wearables (Luna Ring and Luna Band) and LifeOS, the platform that turns their data into daily guidance.

At the centre of LifeOS is a personal health agent that knows your health data, talks with you, and acts on your behalf.

About the role:

You will build the data science behind the Luna health agent. That means two things: making data readable enough for an agent to act on, and proving with real outcomes that the agent's guidance works.

We use frontier language models and build what sits around them: the memory and context layer, and a closed-loop evaluation dataset drawn from what our sensors measure after each recommendation. This role sits at the centre of both.

What you will do:

• Build the signal layer. Turn raw heart rate, HRV, sleep, and activity data into clean per-user baselines and features the agent can reason on, handling noise, gaps, and device drift.
• Design the evaluation system. Create eval sets, automated graders, and regression checks for every agent behaviour, before and after release.
• Close the loop. Link each recommendation to what the sensors show afterwards, and turn that into a dataset that makes the agent better over time.
• Shape memory and context. Work with engineering on what the agent stores about a user, what it retrieves, and what goes into each prompt.
• Run experiments. Use holdouts, A/B tests, and n-of-1 designs on small cohorts to separate real impact from natural improvement.
• Model adherence. Learn which nudge, timing, and channel gets a given person to act, since acting on the data is the outcome we care about.
• Own cost and quality trade-offs. Track token cost, caching, and latency per user, and keep quality high as usage grows.
• Validate with science. Work with our scientific advisors on validation studies and on the safe limits of health guidance.

What you bring

• 4 to 7 years in applied data science or machine learning, with ownership of work that reached production.
• At least one shipped LLM-based product feature, including the evaluation you built for it.
• Strong statistics: causal inference, experiment design, and comfort drawing conclusions from small samples.
• Fluent Python and SQL, and a habit of shipping alongside backend engineers.
• Sound judgement in health: you know where guidance ends and medical advice begins.
• Clear writing. You can explain a result to a product team and to a scientist.

Technical skills:

Must have

• Python: pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, and SciPy or statsmodels for statistics.
• SQL: window functions, joins on event data, and query optimisation on large tables.
• LLM APIs: prompt design, structured outputs, tool calling, and prompt caching.
• LLM evaluation: eval sets, LLM-as-judge graders, and an evaluation framework or a custom harness.
• Statistics: hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, power analysis, regression, and mixed-effects models.
• Experimentation: A/B test design, holdouts, sequential testing, and difference-in-differences.
• Git and code review: code that others can run and maintain.

Strongly preferred:

• Retrieval and memory: embeddings, vector search, hybrid search, and reranking.
• Data stores: Postgres, plus a warehouse such as BigQuery or Snowflake.
• Pipelines: dbt, Airflow, or a similar orchestrator.
• Causal inference: propensity scores, synthetic controls, and libraries such as DoWhy or CausalImpact.
• Product analytics: Mixpanel or Amplitude, including event taxonomy design.
• Cloud basics: AWS or GCP, enough to deploy and monitor your own work.

Bonus:

• Time-series methods: resampling, smoothing, anomaly detection, and changepoint detection.
• Signal processing: filtering and feature extraction from heart rate, HRV, and accelerometer data.
• ML modelling: gradient boosting (XGBoost, LightGBM) and PyTorch basics.
• Recommenders and bandits: contextual bandits for nudge timing and selection.
• Agent frameworks: tool-using agents, plus tracing or observability tools.
• R: useful for statistics and research collaboration, not required if your Python statistics are strong.

Good to have

• Hands-on experience with physiological or wearable time-series data (heart rate, HRV, sleep, activity).
• Retrieval, memory systems, or context engineering for agents.
• Voice or conversational product experience.
• Work with clinical data such as blood reports or medical records.
• Recommender systems or behaviour change modelling.
• Published research or validation studies in digital health.

Who this role is not for

• You are looking for a reporting and dashboards role.
• You prefer a settled roadmap. This is early work with a small team and a lot of open questions.

Benefits:

• Cell phone reimbursement
• Internet reimbursement
• Paid sick time
• Paid time off
• Provident Fund

Application Question(s):

• What is your current CTC?
• What is your Notice Period?
• Describe the latest project you are working on?
