Applied Scientist — Computational Behavioral Modeling

Applied Scientist — Computational Behavioral ModelingLocation: Seattle preferredCompensation: $120,000–$180,000 base + equity + benefits BluePill is building AI Consumer Twins that help brands understand consumers and make better decisions across innovation, product, packaging, positioning, and marketing.We’re looking for an Applied Scientist to help us build the next generation of behavioral models behind our platform.This role sits at the intersection of cognitive science, decision science, behavioral science, statistics, and machine learning. You’ll work on modeling how people make decisions: what influences them, how different factors interact, how people make trade-offs, and how behavior varies across individuals and contexts.What You’ll DoDevelop computational models of human decision-making and behaviorTranslate behavioral and cognitive science into scalable algorithmsIdentify the variables and interactions that meaningfully influence decisionsDesign experiments and analyses to evaluate behavioral hypothesesBuild statistical and machine-learning models using complex human behavioral dataWork closely with engineering and product teams to bring research into productionEstablish rigorous approaches for validating models against real-world human behaviorWhat We’re Looking ForYou may come from computational cognitive science, cognitive neuroscience, decision science, behavioral economics, quantitative psychology, computational social science, statistics, or a related field.We’re especially interested in experience across:Computational modeling of human behaviorDecision-making and behavioral scienceBayesian inference and statistical modelingMachine learningExperimental designModeling individual differences and heterogeneous behaviorPython and modern scientific computing toolsPhD or equivalent research experience preferred.More than any specific technique, we’re looking for someone who can move fluidly between understanding human behavior, formalizing it mathematically, and building models that work in the real world.At BluePill, you’ll have the opportunity to build foundational behavioral models from the ground up and see them directly influence products used by leading consumer brands.
