Data Scientist - Market Research

Remote

We’re Changing the Rentals Industry

We’re a profitable, growth-stage company building industry-leading martech and data products for the rentals industry. While originally known for building and operating one of the U.S.’s largest rental marketplaces - Rentable, our focus has shifted to our category-leading AI and data SaaS products with triple-digit growth rates.

We’re a fully remote team of 100+ spread across the U.S. from coast to coast. We operate on a strict no a**holes policy and are proud to have built a community of highly performing people that take our work seriously, but not ourselves.

While we’ve raised $30MM+ to date from some of the world’s best investors, we’re profitable with a strong balance sheet and an indefinite runway. We pride ourselves on achieving rapid growth without having to incinerate capital. 

If you like the idea of joining an industry-changing company made up of people who genuinely like each other, Rentable could be a great fit for you.

  • Act as a subject matter expert on multifamily acquisitions, ensuring the product reflects real-world investor needs.
  • Create clear documentation, dashboards, and analyses to communicate findings and product opportunities.
  • Stay current on multifamily industry trends, data sources, AI/ML advances, and investment methodologies.

Qualifications

  • 3–5 years of experience in multifamily commercial real estate, with a strong background in underwriting, deal analysis, and pro forma modeling.
  • Proven experience using key market data sources such as CoStar, Yardi Matrix, or RealPage Market Analytics.
  • Strong quantitative and analytical skills with proficiency in SQL.
  • Experience applying large language models (LLMs) or AI/ML techniques to accelerate research, automate analysis, or extract insights from data.
  • Familiarity with modern data science practices, including model building, experimentation, and validation.
  • Experience collaborating across teams (investment, product, engineering, data science).
  • Strong business acumen and ability to translate investor workflows into product features.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex data insights to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset: comfortable in a fast-paced, product-building environment.

Bonus Skills

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
