• Educational background from a quantitative field, such as Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering etc

• Proven experience with SQL and are either fluent in Python or some other modeling language such as R or SAS and have a desire to learn Python.

• You have previously been involved in implementing machine learning models into a production environment.

As a person, we’re looking for someone with a doer's attitude and willingness to actively contribute to the work we do.You are inquisitive and enjoy learning new technologies, techniques, and tools. Further on, we assume you love big data sets, and to discover and communicate insights derived from data.

Why join us?

We're dedicated to building an environment where everyone can thrive and work-life balance is truly valued.
