About The Position

This Data Scientist role offers the chance to make meaningful research and development contributions within a cutting‑edge machine learning environment. You’ll work closely with AI Researchers and Data Scientists to advance the core Sensa platform by building, evaluating, and deploying sophisticated machine learning models. A big part of the position involves staying current with the latest scientific literature, helping shape future R&D initiatives, and co‑authoring research-oriented white papers.
Day‑to‑day, you’ll work with extremely large datasets, contribute to production‑level code, and support ML/Data Engineers with model deployment and pipeline configuration. The position is well‑suited for someone with a strong mathematical and statistical foundation in machine learning, high proficiency in Python and its data ecosystem, and the ability to operate both independently and collaboratively in a fast‑paced startup setting.
Candidates with experience in Kubernetes, Kubeflow, Dask, Rapids, blockchain technologies, DeFi, or financial crime analytics (AML, fraud, trade surveillance) will stand out, though these skills are considered bonuses rather than requirements.
