We do this through a powerful suite of tools that combine ML/AI with heuristics and logic, flexible data integrations, and an overlay of data analytics. We see a high degree of usability as a key differentiator and have been investing in a world-class UI/UX from day one. To help us deliver our vision, we are seeking talented and experienced Lead Data Scientist.

OUR STANCE

• We’re eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes. We’re looking for someone who will add to our culture, not just fit within it. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underestimated and underrepresented in tech to apply
• We seek to actively recognize and combat racism, sexism, ableism and ageism. We embrace and support all gender identities and expressions, and celebrate love in its many forms. We won’t inquire about how you identify or if you’ve experienced discrimination, but if you want to tell your story, we are all ears
