Behavioral ScientistGrotto AI | New York City (In-Person)The RoleGrotto is, at its core, a behavior change product. We're trying to help leasing agents build better habits, have more genuine conversations, and perform better in high-stakes moments. That means we need someone who deeply understands how humans actually change-and can build the feedback loops that make our product smarter over time.
You'll own the full cycle: measure impact with rigor, understand why certain interventions work, and translate those insights into product improvements. You'll design studies, dig into the psychology of what moves people, and work directly with engineering to ship what you learn.
What You'll Do- Design and run studies to measure Grotto's impact on agent behavior and customer outcomes
- Go beyond "what works" to understand why-applying behavioral science to unpack the mechanisms behind our most effective interventions
- Translate findings into product recommendations and work with engineering to ship them
- Develop frameworks for how we think about behavior change at Grotto
What We're Looking For- (Non-Negotiable) 3+ years applying behavioral science or psychology in a product or applied research setting
- (Non-Negotiable) 1+ year at an early-stage or growth-stage startup
- Strong research methods and causal inference skills
- Fluency in behavioral science: habit formation, nudges, motivation, feedback loops, cognitive biases
- You build with AI tools (Claude, Copilot, etc.) as a default
- Programming skills in Python and SQL
- Based in NYC or willing to relocate
Nice to Have- Graduate degree in behavioral science, psychology, behavioral economics, or HCI
- Background in product experimentation or UX research
- Experience presenting deeply technical findings to non-technical audiences
