You’re looking for the next step and the opportunity to work in a dynamic and growing team.
You’ll need to have prior experience in backend architecture, engineering, and delivering production-ready solutions for data science or business analytics teams in a business setting, preferably in a service provider or within a highly regarded global corporation with a compelling reputation for analytics.

• Excellent communication skills – especially translating complex technical findings into insights and stories for stakeholders (internal and external)
• A demonstrated ability to effectively manage multiple projects
• An ability to work autonomously and be self-motivated
• A team-oriented and collaborative working style, both with clients and within Ekimetrics
• A passion for joining a small team and a desire to help the business grow quickly
