Sr. Analytics Engineer/ Data Scientist

Laurel is on a mission to return time. As the leading AI Time platform for professional services firms, we’re transforming how organizations capture, analyze, and optimize their most valuable resource: time. Our proprietary machine learning technology automates work time capture and connects time data to business outcomes, enabling firms to increase profitability, improve client delivery, and make data-driven strategic decisions. We serve many of the world's largest accounting and law firms, including EY, Aprio, Crowell & Moring, and Frost Brown Todd, and process over 1 billion work activities annually that have never been collected and aggregated before Laurel’s AI Time platform.

Our team comprises top talent in AI, product development, and engineering—innovative, humble, and forward-thinking professionals committed to redefining productivity in the knowledge economy. We're building solutions that empower workers to deliver twice the value in half the time, giving people more time to be creative and impactful. If you're passionate about transforming how people work and building a lasting company that explores the essence of time itself, we'd love to meet you.

As a Senior Analytics Engineer/Data Scientist at Laurel, you’ll turn product and business data into clear, trustworthy insights leaders can act on. You’ll own the analytics lifecycle—from ingestion and modeling to BI visualization and decision enablement. You’ll deliver self-serve insights using SQL/Python and embedded BI (e.g., ThoughtSpot). You will also help define the design patterns and data infrastructure to scale.

We’re especially interested in candidates who thrive in early-stage environments and pair analytical rigor with clear storytelling. You’ll partner closely with our CX team to quantify and communicate Laurel’s ROI, and you’ll join customer-facing presentations. You will be able to translate complex methods for non-technical leaders while going deep with technical stakeholders when needed.
