50+ data scientist jobs in San Francisco from 18 employers. Get referred by a verified employee instead of applying cold.
RefOpen currently lists 52 live data scientist roles in San Francisco, posted by 18 different employers, 30 of them in the last seven days. The companies posting most often right now are Pinterest, OpenAI and Chime. Every one of these is a real opening pulled from the employer's own careers page or an aggregator, not a reposted listing.
Job titles in this market cluster around Data Scientist, Finance Forecasting, Senior Data Scientist, Referrals, Data Scientist and Data Scientist, Product. Titles vary far more than the work does, so it is worth searching the family rather than one exact phrase: a "Data Scientist, Finance Forecasting" at one company and a "Senior Data Scientist, Referrals" at another are frequently the same job at the same level.
San Francisco is a competitive market for this function, and with 18 employers hiring at once the same candidates are applying to many of them. A cold application lands in an applicant tracking system alongside hundreds of others and is filtered before a human sees it. A referral is submitted from inside the company, which puts the application in front of a recruiter as a named recommendation rather than another row in a queue.
Create a RefOpen profile, find the data scientist role you want in San Francisco, and request a referral from a verified employee at that company. You do not need an existing connection there. If nobody takes up your request, the cost is refunded in full, so the downside of asking is nothing.

Yes. That is what RefOpen is for. Verified employees at the company opt in to refer candidates they do not already know, so you are not dependent on an existing network.
No, and any site that promises one is misleading you. A referral gets your application read by a person inside the company instead of filtered by software. If no employee takes your request, RefOpen refunds it in full.
Browsing jobs and creating a profile is free. Requesting a referral costs a small amount, priced for the local market, and is refunded if the request is not taken up.
