About Honor
Our mission is simple: change the way we care for our parents so they can age safely at home.
How we accomplish that mission is anything but simple. Delivering reliable home care requires coordinating people, schedules, geography, skills, preferences, and changing needs across a complex operating environment.
Honor combines technology, operations, and the local expertise of our partner agencies to improve how care is delivered at scale. Our platform supports the caregivers who provide care, the teams who coordinate it, and the families who depend on it.
We are looking for a Senior Manager, Data Science to lead a team applying advanced data science and AI to some of Honor’s most important operational challenges.
About the role
You will lead the development of models and decision systems that improve how Honor matches caregivers and clients, constructs sustainable schedules, allocates capacity, prioritizes operational work, and responds to changing conditions.
This is not an analytics support role. Your team will work directly with Product, Engineering, and Care Operations to turn difficult operating problems into production systems that improve measurable outcomes.
You will contribute to Honor’s broader Data Science and Applied AI direction, help shape the team’s roadmap, and remain hands-on as a player-coach.
What you’ll do
Help shape the Data Science and Applied AI roadmap, identifying where predictive modeling, optimization, experimentation, forecasting, causal inference, and modern AI can create the greatest impact.
Lead the development of production models and decision-support systems that improve matching, scheduling, operational prioritization, and service reliability.
Apply modern AI, including agentic workflows, to improve how teams analyze information, make decisions, and execute operational work.
Partner with Product, Engineering, and Operations from problem definition through deployment, adoption, and iteration.
Establish strong standards for evaluating, monitoring, and responsibly deploying machine learning and AI-enabled systems.
Lead, coach, and grow the team while remaining hands-on in high-priority projects as a player-coach.
Examples of problems you may solve
Improving caregiver-client matching while balancing fit, continuity, availability, and travel.
Building more reliable and sustainable schedules for caregivers and clients.
Using data science and AI to identify operational risks earlier and help teams focus where they can have the greatest impact.
About you
7+ years of experience in data science, machine learning, operations research, applied AI, or a related field, including 3+ years leading teams.
Have built or led the development of models or decision systems that operated in production and influenced meaningful business or customer outcomes.
Can determine whether a problem calls for prediction, optimization, experimentation, simulation, workflow redesign, an AI agent, or no model at all.
Understand that successful applied AI requires more than choosing a model. It requires clear objectives, reliable data and tools, rigorous evaluation, thoughtful system design, and appropriate human oversight.
Experience partnering with Product, Engineering, Operations, and senior business stakeholders on ambiguous, cross-functional problems.
Comfortable working with imperfect operational data while maintaining a high standard for measurement and technical rigor.
Can communicate clearly with technical, operational, and executive audiences.
Have a bias toward action and an iterative approach to problem-solving. You are willing to inspect the data, understand the workflow, prototype solutions, and revise your view.
Are an effective people leader who can set clear expectations, develop talent, prioritize work, and build a strong technical culture.
Helpful experience
Experience with marketplace, logistics, workforce, scheduling, healthcare, or other complex operating systems is especially valuable, as is experience with optimization, forecasting, recommender systems, causal inference, agentic systems, or AI evaluation.
A bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree in a quantitative or technical field is welcome, but we care most about demonstrated ability, judgment, leadership, and impact.
Why this role is different
Many companies have interesting datasets. Honor has a dynamic operating environment in which technical decisions directly affect caregivers, care teams, families, and older adults. The opportunity is to build systems that do more than predict outcomes. They will help Honor decide what to do next, execute more effectively, and continuously learn from the results.
Our range reflects the hiring range for this position. We use national average to determine pay as we are a remote first company. Individual pay is based on a number of factors including qualifications, skills, experience, education, and training.

About the work
This position is on our Applied AI team, which is responsible for helping Honor safely and pragmatically apply AI across our operating model, product systems, and internal workflows.
The mission of the Applied AI team is to help Honor become an organization that learns faster, remembers more, and continuously compounds what it learns over time. We believe the most valuable use of AI at Honor is not isolated task automation, but building durable organizational intelligence: systems that retain operational context, surface relevant prior learning, support better decisions, and help teams turn fragmented insights into repeatable improvements.
Honor operates in a deeply relationship-driven industry. The best home care operators personalize service because they remember the details, understand context, and adapt to the situation. At Honor’s scale, that requires thoughtful systems: reliable context, governed access, reusable AI patterns, traceable workflows, and product experiences that help humans and agents make better decisions together.
As a Staff Engineer on Applied AI, you will help design, build, and productionize the foundations that make this possible. You may work on systems that power AI-assisted sales follow-up, operational defect analysis, reusable memory and retrieval patterns, internal agentic tools, AI-powered data analysis, schedulable workflows, or closed-loop feedback systems that connect audits, product changes, and measurable business outcomes.
You will work closely with engineering, product, design, data, operations, security, and business stakeholders to move quickly while maintaining the discipline needed for production systems. This team is highly exploratory, but the work is not a lab exercise. We are looking for engineers who can turn ambiguous AI opportunities into safe, reliable, measurable product and platform capabilities.
We have an exciting runway ahead of us. As AI becomes an operational layer across Honor, we need engineers who can help create the paved roads: secure model access, compliant data pathways, observability, cost controls, evaluation patterns, human-in-the-loop workflows, and reusable architecture that allows teams across Honor to adopt AI without creating long-term fragmentation.
About you
You thrive in a diverse, cross-functional team, collaborating with design, product management, data, operations, security, and other engineering teams.
You are excited by ambiguous, high-leverage problems where the right answer requires both technical judgment and operational empathy.
You enjoy building production-grade systems that connect user-facing workflows, backend services, data pipelines, and AI/LLM capabilities.
You’ve built and maintained production-grade features in Python, or have transferable experience in common languages like Node.js and are willing to learn Python.
You know how to design reliable data models and have used relational databases at scale.
You have been a key contributor to the design and implementation of large, complex projects.
You are comfortable working in and refactoring legacy, monolithic systems while also designing new services and integration patterns.
You are a strong communicator, both verbally and in writing, and can explain technical tradeoffs to technical and non-technical audiences.
You think carefully about quality, observability, privacy, security, and operational risk.
You are excited to work with AI systems in a way that is pragmatic, measurable, and grounded in real business outcomes.
You are willing to participate in an on-call rotation in collaboration with our tier 1 support team.
