Are you a Data Scientist who loves the sweet spot where sophisticated modeling meets clean, production-ready code? Do you want to apply your skills to high-value, impactful ESG initiatives? We are looking for a Data Scientist for an initial 6-month engagement at our London office to collaborate with global experts and scale our data models.

What You’ll Do:

  • Partner directly with internal ESG domain experts to validate and optimize an existing, high-profile model.
  • Write clean, modular, and exceptionally well-documented code.
  • Package your models to hand off seamlessly to our back-end software engineering team for live cloud deployment.
  • Collaborate with a smart, agile global team spanning London, New York, and international remote hubs.

What We Are Looking For:

  • The Commercial Sweet Spot: 4–5 years of commercial data science experience (3 years considered if you hit the ground running in our tech ecosystem).
  • Production Mindset: You know how to do more than just build a cool Proof of Concept (POC) in a silo. You live in Git, collaborate natively on code, and understand how to prepare models for a downstream engineering pipeline.
  • Background: Financial Services experience is a massive plus, but we value strong commercial acumen from any fast-paced industry.
  • Education: Master’s or a strong Bachelor’s degree with an excellent commercial track record.

If you are a collaborative builder who translates data science into real-world software reality, we want to hear from you. Apply today!
