Remote Data Science Jobs in Toronto, ON (NOW HIRING)

The Data Scientist supports data integration and modeling for a portfolio of customers, supporting adoption and high-impact use of the Epistemix software platform. This role contributes to profitable growth by driving customer satisfaction, accelerating time to insights, and accelerating our time to value for customers. Ultimately, your work supports customer satisfaction, customer retention, and revenue growth from existing customers.

The most consequential decisions in public health, life sciences, insurance, and enterprise strategy share a common problem: they involve human behavior, network effects, and downstream effects that cannot be safely tested before action is taken. Traditional analytical techniques built on historical data were not built for this. Epistemix was.

We build simulation and data-driven modeling tools that let leaders visualize how strategies will unfold across populations and systems before they commit resources. By clarifying which variables drive outcomes, where leverage exists, and how they interact, we help organizations move from uncertainty to conviction. Getting these decisions right means faster interventions, better-allocated resources, and measurable improvements in human and economic outcomes. We exist to make that possible.

Our platform gives organizations access to realistic, high-resolution population data and the modeling infrastructure to run scenario planning at scale. Together, these capabilities let decision-makers stress-test strategies in a controlled environment before deploying them in the real world across healthcare, consumer industries, insurance, and government. We are approaching our Series B and actively building the team that will define what comes next.
