Remote Data Scientist

Summary

Join AE Studio, a development, data science, and design studio, as they seek to hire individuals with strong problem-solving skills and experience in Python, data science, and machine learning. The ideal candidate will have a growth mindset, be willing to learn the company's systems, and have full-time availability.

Requirements

• Fluency in Python–used often, derided occasionally, and considered its eponymous reference to the best of British sketch comedy
• Proven data science experience–primary or equal contributor, multiple smaller projects, management of steak-holders (so projects come out ‘well-done’)
• Comfort with the statistics and methods deployed in classification problems–that is, the ability to see the random forest for the trees
• Familiarity with NLP/NLU–even if this posting’s language is a bit unnatural, we suspect you’ll understand our process
• Experience calling machine learning APIs via REST or client libraries - and determining that their responses lack wit, guile, and tact
• Agile experience (worked with Kanban, Scrum, Extreme Programming)–or a sound literary understanding of Steve Martin’s “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” even if you don’t speak French
• Growth mindset – You had better be funnier after the first 90 days
• Willingness to learn our systems (wait, we have systems?)
• Full-time availability–but if you have cool side projects that increase human agency, we totally want you to keep working on it...we’ll even help!
• Demonstrated ability to work independently/autonomously
• Ability to communicate effectively and work exclusively in English. This is a must, our ability to crack jokes in other languages is decidedly de rigeur

Responsibilities

• Have strong problem-solving skills
• Have a disposition suited for self-management
• Have ever composed a Gilbert and Sullivan parody that would offend Victorian sensibilities

Benefits

• Equity
• Salary range from $120k/year to $220k/year
