• Solid programming skills in Python and past experience working with dataframe-centric data manipulation tools such as pandas, PySpark, Polars and SQL
• Motivation to learn about production-grade systems and software engineering practices, delivering solutions end-to-end
• A collaborative mindset and an eagerness to learn and grow
• A proactive, impact-driven attitude and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

It’s a plus if you have:

• Proficiency in additional programming languages and understanding of software engineering best-practices, testing, version control (Git), and CI/CD workflows
• Worked with and trained models using diverse types of data (e.g. time-series, tabular, event logs, images, sensor data etc.)
• Experience with state-space and survival modeling, and familiarity with statistical packages such as statsmodels, PyMC, or Stan
