  • A problem-solver with experience with Python, R, or similar languages. Experience with tools like CausalML, EconML, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, Ray, etc., is a strong plus
  • You have experience with hands-on skills in sourcing, cleaning, manipulating, analysing, visualising and modelling of real data. Experience with SQL is a plus
  • You are a creative problem-solver who is passionate about digging into complex problems and devising innovative ways to reach results

Where You'll Be
