Data Scientist — Agent Evaluations & Quality

Hey Noah · Palo Alto, CA

📍 Palo Alto, CA · Full-time · In-person, hybrid schedule

About Us

Most companies chasing the "AI assistant" built a copilot: a chatbot that sits there and waits for you to type. Noah is something else entirely. Noah, branded as Hey Noah, is the world's first fully autonomous SMS and voice-based assistant built for executives, and it doesn't just chat with you, it acts on your behalf and communicates directly with the people who matter to you. It reaches out to your clients, coordinates with your team, and keeps your most important relationships warm, all over natural text and voice. No new app to learn, no dashboard to babysit. Noah does the work and hands back your time for the decisions that matter. Plenty have tried to build this. Nobody got it right, until now.

The market noticed immediately. Noah swept Product Hunt with #1 Product of the Day, Week, and Month , a clean sweep few launches ever pull off.

We're a small, senior team of 8 in Palo Alto, backed by Hustle Fund and Neon. Noah was founded by Ashish Toshniwal, who previously bootstrapped YML into a $100M company, and engineering is led by our CTO, Ryan Brandt. We've built and scaled products before, and we're looking for people who want to build the next one with us.

Role Description

The Data Scientist, Agent Evaluations & Quality role focuses on measuring and improving the performance, reliability, and quality of Noah's AI assistant across SMS and voice interactions. Day-to-day, you'll design evaluation frameworks, develop metrics and KPIs for agent behavior, and analyze large datasets of user-agent conversations to identify patterns and quality issues. You'll build statistical and machine learning models to assess agent responses, run A/B tests, and deliver data-driven recommendations to product and engineering teams.

This is a highly collaborative role. You'll work closely with AI researchers, engineers, and product managers to refine models, improve the user experience, and ensure that executives receive accurate, helpful, and timely assistance.
