We're hiring a Lead Data Analyst —focused on helping our Marketing & Growth teams have more organized and actionable information. I wrote this letter to help you decide if this is the right opportunity for you. In it I share what you need to be successful, what success looks like, and challenges you're likely to face.

If it turns out this is a fit, I believe that you will be hard-pressed to find something more meaningful and impactful for your life and career.

It will take you time to read through, but if you do, you’ll learn something new, have a clear sense of what we're working on, and if you'll thrive in our current environment. You won't find traditional requirements. Mostly because this isn't a traditional role and we're not looking for a traditional person.

For the right person, this could be a once-in-lifetime chance to do something that matters and propels your personal and career growth further than you might imagine.

Thanks in advance for reading & sleep well,

Leon

CTO & co-founder @ Rise Science

What are we working on at Rise Science?

The short answer: we exist to give all people the energy to make the most of life.

Our current product, RISE, is mobile app designed to help everyone with a phone master their energy. We're in the business of giving our customers energy. When we stay focused on that need, customers are happy.

It turns out that the biggest determinant of your energy levels is your sleep. However, the tools available today are focused on speciality niches. Some are trying to help you fall asleep (like Calm) and others measure every physiological aspect your sleep (like Fitbit, Whoop, & Oura). While those businesses have executed very well they're relevant for maybe ~15% of the population.

We've always believed there's a significantly larger opportunity for impact by focusing on what the vast majority of us want: more energy. We all want more energy. Just last year, consumers spent a trillion dollars on caffeine alone. A trillion dollars on a drug that gives us a short-high. We believe people want real energy. We believe that people are changing how they view their health and turning to much healthier, scientifically sound solutions.

When you're squarely focused on the need for more energy you design a much different solution than what exists. Rather than helping you fall asleep or track your sleep with hardware, our app uses behavioral data from phone to analyze how much sleep debt you have and your circadian rhythm so you can forecast & manage your energy during the day.
