Description
Remote Data Scientist with Mathematics Focus
Shape the Future of Insight-Driven Decision Making
Do you see data not just as numbers, but as the fuel for progress? Imagine crafting algorithms that power smarter decisions for thousands of users while enjoying the freedom of a remote environment. Here, your mathematical expertise won’t sit in a silo—it’ll be woven into solutions that move entire industries forward.
Why This Role Matters
Solving problems at scale starts with a sharp mathematical mind. The world’s top organizations thrive because they can transform complex, unstructured data into actionable knowledge. As a Data Scientist who lives at the intersection of mathematics and applied machine learning, you’ll move beyond simply “building models”—your work will actively drive product innovation, efficiency, and customer success.
Ready to turn theoretical concepts into real-world breakthroughs? That’s precisely what you’ll do here.
Your Impact
Every project is an opportunity to leave a mark. Picture this: a predictive model you designed uncovers actionable patterns that directly reduce client churn. Your deep-dive analyses set the strategic direction for product launches, leading to record-breaking engagement. When teams debate business decisions, your insights—rooted in mathematical rigor—become the deciding factor.
You’ll translate ambiguity into clarity, ensuring that decisions are backed by robust statistical reasoning and advanced modeling. That means influencing everything from feature design to risk management, always with the end-user in mind.
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role goes far beyond technical output. You’ll transform raw data into compelling narratives, championing a data-driven mindset across the organization. Picture leading virtual brainstorming sessions where your perspectives unlock new ways of thinking. When a tricky question arises—like identifying the optimal strategy for a noisy dataset—your expertise becomes the team’s north star.
You’ll simplify complex ideas, whether it’s over Zoom or Slack, empowering colleagues who aren’t data experts to feel confident in what the numbers say. Your written reports and presentations will shape not just what we do, but how we do it.
Responsibilities that Make a Difference
- Architect machine learning models that solve real business challenges, from customer segmentation to predictive analytics, using tools like Python, R, and cloud platforms.
- Apply advanced mathematical methods—optimization, probability, linear algebra, and calculus—to build robust statistical models that withstand scrutiny and deliver consistent value.
- Tackle ambiguity head-on by breaking down open-ended business questions into clear hypotheses and measurable outcomes.
- Partner with product managers, designers, and engineers to launch features that thousands rely on daily. You’ll see the direct impact of your models in live products and customer feedback.
- Curate and clean large, unstructured datasets—your process ensures downstream analytics are meaningful and actionable.
- Mentor and uplift others, sharing best practices and championing mathematical rigor across virtual teams.
- Stay at the forefront of the field by experimenting with emerging tools and algorithms, continually enhancing both our platform and your own expertise.
Work Environment & Collaboration
We move quickly, but you’ll always have space to focus intensely and produce work you’re proud of. Remote collaboration isn’t just an afterthought—it’s how we operate every day. Our toolkit includes real-time dashboards, version-controlled notebooks, and async communication via Slack and Notion. Weekly standups ensure everyone’s voice is heard, and you’ll have regular opportunities to present findings to stakeholders at all levels.
This isn’t a solitary role; you’ll partner with design, engineering, and customer success to co-create unified solutions. Whether you’re brainstorming new feature ideas or refining a model based on live feedback, you’ll never be far from meaningful conversations that move the needle.
Tools & Technologies
You’ll have access to a world-class stack for data science and mathematical computing, including:
- Python (NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch)
- R and Shiny for statistical modeling and dashboards
- SQL and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
- Cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure for scalable processing
- Visualization tools: Tableau, Plotly, Matplotlib
- Git for code collaboration and experiment tracking
We believe in continuous learning, so you’ll also get a dedicated budget to attend conferences, enroll in online courses, or experiment with new tools.
The Skills That Set You Apart
- Advanced degree (Master’s or PhD) in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.
- Proven experience applying mathematical theory to real-world data problems—bonus points for published research or open-source contributions.
- Fluency in machine learning lifecycle: from hypothesis to deployment, with an eye for ethical and explainable AI.
- Skilled at setting up controlled experiments, interpreting experiment results, and using advanced statistical techniques—like simulations or causal inference—to draw robust conclusions.
- Comfortable turning complex requirements into elegant algorithms, always keeping performance and scalability in mind.
- You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s a deep dive with fellow data scientists or a quick explanation for a product lead.
Growth & Opportunity
Your journey doesn’t stop at model building. You’ll have the autonomy to define your own roadmap, lead high-visibility initiatives, and even propose new product lines rooted in mathematical innovation. As you grow, you’ll help shape our data strategy, mentor junior team members, and stay ahead of trends that will define the future of data science.
We invest in our people. That means not just generous learning stipends, but a culture of feedback, open communication, and recognition. Here, your curiosity is your greatest asset.
Compensation & Benefits
Exceptional work deserves exceptional reward. For this remote position, your annual salary will be **$126,853, **with additional performance bonuses and comprehensive benefits. You’ll have the flexibility to work from anywhere, along with paid leave, health insurance, and regular team retreats to stay connected and inspired.
