<div><span style="font-size:24px;">About the Role</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick is looking for a Data Scientist to help us fight climate change with soil. This role will coordinate with our hardware team to improve data collection from our novel spectral soil probe for building machine learning models, will partner with our soil science team to collect and analyze soil and geospatial data sets, and will collaborate with our business development team to accurately and effectively communicate soil carbon results to our customers.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">On a typical day, our field team is out collecting data on farms. Raw data from spectrometers and other sensors get uploaded (once internet is available) and ingested by our data pipeline. Your job is to take this real-world messy data, process and normalize it, deal with partial collections and find inconsistencies. You’ll collaborate across the company to combine that data with lab analyses and other data sources to build statistical and machine learning models that estimate carbon stocks. Your work drives the incentives for climate-friendly agriculture.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick is a remote-first company and the technology team is distributed around the U.S. This role will report directly to Yard Stick’s VP of Software, and will work under the technical leadership of the Head of Data Science. This is a dream job for someone who loves working with data, is curious about soil science, and wants to join a growing startup with literal planetary-scale impact.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We’d like to hire this person to start ASAP.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:24px;">About Yard Stick PBC</span></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.useyardstick.com/" style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> is a remote-first climate tech startup with cofounders based in Boston, MA and Oakland, CA. We are on a mission to reverse climate change with agriculture. Scientists and farmers alike know that climate-friendly agricultural practices have the potential to remove atmospheric CO2 at gigaton/year scale. When these practices are adopted, more carbon is stored in soils, improving soil health and fighting climate change. But significant measurement challenges have held soil carbon efforts back - until now.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">By reducing the cost of soil carbon measurement by 70-90%, Yard Stick will dramatically expand the opportunities for evidence-based regenerative practices to simultaneously improve ecosystem health, increase farmer income, and combat climate change. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Current soil carbon measurement technologies are slow, expensive, and cumbersome, relying on conventional soil cores and labs to quantify carbon stocks.

<div><p>Afresh is on a mission to eliminate food waste and make fresh food accessible to all. Our first A.I.-powered solution optimizes ordering, forecasting, and store operations for fresh food departments in brick-and-mortar grocers. With our Fresh Operating System, regional and national grocery retailers have placed $1.6 billion in produce orders across the US and we've helped our partners prevent 34 million pounds of food from going to waste. Working at Afresh represents a one-of-a-kind opportunity to have massive social impact at scale by leveraging uncommonly impactful software – we hope you'll join us!</p></div><div><p><strong>About the Role</strong></p><p>The Prediction, Optimization, and Planning (POP) team builds Afresh's core replenishment technology. Our AI models are directly responsible for ordering millions of dollars of fresh inventory across the world every day. Fresh food ordering is an extremely complex high-dimensional decision-making problem. We face the complex challenges presented by decaying product, uncertain shelf lives, varying consumer demand, stochastic arrival times, extreme weather events, and tight performance constraints (to name a few). We tackle these problems with a mix of machine learning, large-scale simulation, and optimization technologies. Our team has presented work at multiple industry leading conferences, and we encourage team members to write and present their work publicly.</p><p>As an Applied Scientist at Afresh focused on forecasting, you will take your existing knowledge of machine learning and apply it to the challenge of demand forecasting. You will thrive in this role if you love the craft of neural networks in research and production environments: hyperparameter optimization, model tuning, feature selection, thorough error analysis, architecture selection, and deep understanding of the data you are modeling. We are looking for someone who is equally adept at gaining insights from 8 hours of data analysis or 8 hours of reading papers. </p><p>Your will research, implement, and rigorously validate improvements to our core forecasting system. This will include modeling seasonal demand, rare events, promotion cannibalization, and aggregating correlated demand across multi-echelon systems. Your work will be visible from day one, will make a substantial impact on decreasing food waste, and will lead to fresher, healthier produce for millions of people across the world.</p><ul><li>You will work on improving the accuracy and calibration of the demand forecasting models that power our warehouse-level and store-level ordering products. You will also lead research development for new product and business challenges.</li><li>In your first 3 months, you will acquire a comprehensive understanding of our current forecasting system and modern neural network approaches to time-series forecasting. You will gain proficiency in our data manipulation, transformation, and forecasting tools, and you'll test an experimental improvement to our demand forecasting system.</li><li>By the end of your first 6 months, you will have proposed, implemented, and rigorously validated an improvement to our forecasting system.</li><li>By the end of your first year, you will have led the implementation of fundamental changes to our core forecasting system and led research into forecasting extensions (multi-echelon forecasting, rare event modeling). </li><li>We need to make optimal ordering decisions for millions of items for weeks at a time, and our system must be fault-tolerant to an extreme. Our partners rely on our system to order millions of dollars of inventory every week, and so your code must be rigorously validated, tested, and bug-proof.</li></ul><p><strong>Skills and Experience</strong></p><ul><li>5+ years of industrial or academic experience building mission-critical machine learning systems. </li><li>Excellent communication and presentation skills. You should be able to explain complex mathematical ideas to product teams in plain English.</li><li>5+ years of experience in neural network libraries (Pytorch/Tensorflow/JAX). Proficiency in Pytorch preferred, or willingness to transition from Tensorflow/JAX. </li><li>Fluent in programmatic data analysis using SQL and Pandas.</li><li>Excellent data visualization skills.</li></ul><p><em>Salary Band:<br></em><em><br></em></p></div><div><p><strong>About Afresh</strong><br><br>Founded in 2017, Afresh is working on the #1 solution to curb climate change: reducing food waste.
