We are looking for an experienced and talented data scientist with excellent analytical, communication, and modeling skills to develop sophisticated models for equity investments. Candidates must have strong experience with Python, Jupyter, Catboost (or equivalent boosted regression tree modeling packages). Strong English and teamwork skills are crucial. We are looking for someone to lead the team and grow it over time.

The employee will apply cutting-edge data science and machine learning tools to automate investing decisions based on business fundamentals. Strong proficiency in managing complex data science projects end-to-end is a must:

- Understand the business problem (fundamental equity analysis)

- Prepare data and develop models using advanced statistical and machine learning techniques

- Make rapid incremental progress, communicating effectively with meaningful and insightful reports

Excellent English communication skills are critical, especially around the data science, machine learning, and equity investing domains.

4. Consistently deliver high-quality insights on time and within budget.

5. Provide ongoing feedback to the HQ, helping maximize value derived from investments in research projects.

Requirements:

1. Extensive education in mathematics, statistics, computational science, computer science, or a similar field (PhD is a plus but not required).

2. 5+ years of professional hands-on data science experience.

3. Mastery of modern data science software tools and practices (SQL, numpy, Pandas, scikit-learn, Jupyter notebooks).

4. Hands-on familiarity with common software engineering practices and tools (git and GitHub, pull requests and code reviews, unit and integration tests, continuous integration).
