• Leverage Grow Therapy's unique and rich dataset to build personalized experiences that drive meaningful mental health outcomes for patients.

• Proven track record deploying production ML models with measurable business impact. Hands-on experience with NLP, LLMs, and GenAI techniques.
  
  
• Experience driving product or growth decisions through deep user understanding, funnel decomposition, or marketplace dynamics.
  
  
• Passion for navigating ambiguity and working cross-functionally in fast-moving environments where data science directly influences strategy.
