Data Scientist (Remote)

About us

We're on a mission to bring contracts and any other long documents to the 21st century!

We’re using AI to make these documents intelligible, abstracting what matters in them and detailing their content so that humans can manipulate them easily.

We've been working on this since the beginning of 2021, and have applications in Real Estate, Finance, Insurance, and other industries. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as possible.
