Head of Analytics & Data Science

Location: USA (Remote/Hybrid)

Salary: $230,000 – $260,000 base + performance bonus + extensive benefits

Harnham is partnering with one of the world’s most downloaded wellness apps, backed by a major public healthcare company, to hire a Head of Data Analytics. With 85M+ downloads and a global user base, this is a chance to lead analytics and data science for a brand millions already use, with startup-level ownership and the resources of a public company.

This is a player-coach role at the center of product, growth, and data science. You’ll be hands-on with metrics, experiments, and analysis, while also setting the data agenda alongside product, growth, and executive leadership.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Own core growth and subscription metrics (installs, trials, ROAS, CAC, LTV, churn) and lead attribution strategy across AppsFlyer, SKAN, and SSOT deduplication
  • Run the experimentation program, helping PMs and UA design tests and build statistical rigor across the org
  • Own product analytics strategy: event taxonomy, Mixpanel governance, and turning data into funnel and retention insight for PMs
  • Manage and grow a team of data scientists, setting the analytics roadmap and priorities
  • Act as the go-to data partner for UA, Growth PM, and Head of Product on key business decisions
  • Build AI-powered self-service analytics tools so teams can answer their own questions
  • Partner with data engineering to keep the underlying pipeline reliable and trustworthy

What You’ll Bring

  • 7+ years in data/analytics roles, including 2+ years managing a team
  • Strong grasp of subscription and mobile metrics: LTV, trial conversion, cohort analysis
  • Experience with mobile UA attribution (MMP, SKAN, multi-touch) and cross-platform reporting
  • A track record designing and running experimentation programs
  • Product analytics experience: event instrumentation and Mixpanel/Amplitude governance
  • Comfortable with dbt/SQL to review models and unblock your team when needed
  • Sharp business partnering skills: plain-language communication and confidence to push back
  • Hands-on experience building with AI/LLM tools, not just using them

Bonus points: background in consumer subscription apps (health, wellness, entertainment, or productivity); experience building internal AI-powered tools (Claude/OpenAI APIs, LangChain, agent tooling); deep attribution and data modeling expertise.

Title: AI/ML Engineer (All Levels)

Location: Bay Area (Hybrid)

Compensation: Up to $350,000 + Equity

We’re partnered with a well-funded, high-growth Series B startup building the next generation of AI-native data infrastructure for Fortune 500 enterprises. With 3.5x revenue growth in FY’24 and 160% net revenue retention, they’re scaling fast and investing heavily in the AI engineering team that powers their core product.

This is a high-impact role where you’ll own the intelligence layer of the platform, making real architectural decisions around agent design, model selection, and evaluation strategy. Everything you build ships directly to customers; this is not a POC or internal tooling team.

What You’ll Do

  • Architect multi-step AI agents end-to-end, covering problem decomposition, context retrieval, error recovery, and output quality
  • Own RAG pipelines, vector and graph-based retrieval systems, and knowledge representations that let agents reason accurately over complex enterprise data
  • Build the AI layer behind the platform’s core code generation capability, from prompt design and model selection through to fine-tuning and output validation
  • Make production AI work at scale, balancing latency, throughput, and observability, and knowing when to optimize a model versus restructure a system
  • Think in failure modes and evaluation strategy, not capability demos, and own the improvement loop

Requirements

  • 4-6+ years of software engineering experience with meaningful AI/ML depth
  • Proven experience building and shipping AI agents or coding agents in production
  • Strong Python skills with hands-on experience across RAG, vector databases, and knowledge graphs
  • Experience with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and structured outputs in production
  • Familiarity with AWS and Kubernetes for production AI deployment
  • Experience with data platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, or Spark is a strong bonus
  • Scale or Go experience is a bonus

If you’re a builder who thinks in failure modes, owns what you ship, and thrives in environments where last year’s best practice is already obsolete, this is a rare opportunity to have direct leverage on a product used by some of the world’s largest enterprises.

Title: Staff & Principal AI/ML Engineer

Location: Bay Area (Hybrid)

Compensation: Up to $380,000 + Equity

We’re partnered with a well-funded, high-growth Series B startup building the next generation of AI-native data infrastructure for Fortune 500 enterprises. With 3.5x revenue growth in FY’24 and 160% net revenue retention, they’re scaling fast and investing in senior technical leadership to define how AI gets built across the company.

This is a role for someone who sets technical direction, not just executes it. You’ll shape agent architecture, evaluation strategy, and retrieval systems at the core of the platform, leading large-scale initiatives from design through to production with real ownership over outcomes. The scope is intentionally open-ended, and strong engineers have enormous leverage here.

What You’ll Do

  • Set technical direction across multi-step agent architecture, RAG pipelines, and knowledge retrieval systems, making the calls on agent design, model selection, and build vs. buy
  • Own the AI behind the platform’s core code generation capability, from prompt design and fine-tuning through to output validation at scale
  • Lead large, complex initiatives end-to-end with minimal direction, defining the problem as much as the solution
  • Shape how production AI gets built across the team, establishing standards for evaluation, observability, and reliability
  • Influence architectural decisions across the broader engineering organisation and mentor engineers at all levels

Requirements

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience with significant AI/ML depth and a track record of technical leadership
  • Demonstrated experience owning and shipping AI agents or coding agents in production at scale
  • Strong Python skills with deep hands-on experience across RAG, vector databases, and knowledge graphs (Neo4j)
  • Ability to make architectural decisions under uncertainty and drive them through to production
  • Experience with AWS and Kubernetes, and comfort operating across the full AI development lifecycle
  • Experience with data platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, or Spark is a strong plus
  • Scala or Go experience is a bonus

If you’re a technical leader who defines problems as much as you solve them, thrives in ambiguity, and wants to shape how AI is built at a company scaling toward its next funding round, this is the opportunity.
