Data Scientist at Mynd

About Mynd:
Mynd is a tech-enabled real estate company serving an $85B+ property management and real estate investment market. In the past few years, financial services disruptors like E-Trade, Schwab, and Robinhood have unlocked access to the stock market, minting a new generation of self-service investors. Yet real estate remains the most powerful tool for building generational wealth.
At Mynd, we’re on a mission to create happy homes and sustainable investments by making single-family residential real estate as accessible and effortless as other types of investments. Investing in real estate can be intimidating, especially for first-time buyers. Moreover, many potential investors don’t want to invest in real estate in their geographic area or have been priced out of competitive big city housing markets. With operations in 25 markets across the US and real-time insights via our platform, we remove the time, communication, and geographic barriers traditionally associated with real estate. Investors can now find, purchase, rent, manage, and sell single-family rental properties 100% remotely.
Mynd is Best Places to Work certified, a Built In SF Best Places to Work 2022 winner, and was named the #1 fastest-growing East Bay company by the San Francisco Business Times in 2021. We’ve attracted talent from Starwood Waypoint Homes, McKinsey, BCG, Compass, Better, One Medical, Zillow, Upwork, WeWork, and Facebook. We’re backed by top VCs, including Lightspeed, Canaan, Jackson Square, and QED, and just announced a $5 billion deal with Invesco Real Estate that will make us the largest buyer of single-family rental homes in the country.
