Responsibilities

• Inventory, evaluate, and integrate internal and vendor datasets into usable, well-documented research-ready data assets with strong data quality controls.
• Develop reusable data models, metrics, and entity mapping (e.g., company/product/provider mapping, time-series alignment, cross-dataset joins).
• Translate PM/analyst questions into structured analyses and empirical tests; deliver conclusions clearly with caveats and sensitivities.
• Apply statistics and econometrics (e.g., regressions, Bayesian methods, hypothesis testing, causal/Quasi-causal thinking) to evaluate signals and explain drivers.
• Build monitoring and diagnostics for data drift, signal decay, and regime changes.
• Prototype and productionize AI-enabled research process (e.g., summarization, extraction, classification, search, analyst copilots) and workflows with clear evaluation criteria (accuracy, hallucination risk, latency, cost, auditability).
• Establish best practices for prompts, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), tool use, and governance (PII, compliance, model risk).
• Build lightweight internal tools and interfaces that make data and insights easy to consume (e.g., Flask/Django, dashboards, notebooks, Tableau).

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in data science (investment firm, data analytics firm, or software firm).
• Strong Python skills (pandas/numpy/scipy/statsmodels) and Flask/Django, Tableau, Streamlit, or similar for application development.
• SQL proficiency and experience with data warehouses, specifically Snowflake (or equivalent modern warehouse experience with a quick ramp to Snowflake).
• Familiarity with search/RAG, embeddings, vector databases, and evaluation of LLM systems.
• Experience with cloud tooling and orchestration (e.g., Airflow/dbt) and versioning practices (Git).
• Strong foundation in statistics / inference (e.g. Bayesian inference, regression, experimental design / quasi-experimental thinking).
• Experience in fundamental investing workflows (healthcare a plus, not required).
• Proactive, eager to learn; comfortable partnering with demanding end-users (PMs/analysts) and iterating quickly.
