You will be responsible for understanding clients' requirements, providing expert guidance, and presenting solutions in a professional manner.

- Research and stay up to date with the latest AI methods, techniques, and tools
- Share DS knowledge internally and externally (e.g., write blog posts and/or white papers, give talks at meetups and DS events)
- Provide technical feedback on the work of other data scientists
About you
- 2+ year relevant experience in a Machine Learning/Data Science role in the industry (internships and work carried out within the context of a Master or PhD thesis won't be considered relevant industry experience for this specific role)
- Minimum Bachelor's degree on a relevant field (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics, Physics) - since we embrace diversity we will be open-minded with respect to your background
- Solid understanding of agile methodologies and experience working in an agile environment
- Has experience with collaborative development using version control systems like git and Github within the context of a team
- Has experience with a cloud computing ecosystem: AWS (preferred), GCP, or Azure

- Relevant hands-on experience developing Machine Learning solutions
- Comfortable dealing with ambiguity, uncertainty and working in a dynamic environment, where priorities change frequently and objectives may not be well defined
- Excellent problem-solving skills, including the ability to analyse issues, identify causes, recommend solutions quickly, and structure and prioritise an approach for maximum impact. We focus on delivering value to clients rather than micro-optimising models.
- Lifelong learner mentality, a drive to master new technologies and techniques, and willingness to work outside your comfort zone
We are especially interested in hearing from you if you:
- Have worked in a consulting company before
- Have proven knowledge in at least one of the following fields:
