Data Scientist

Data Scientists at QuantCo will learn what it takes to create impact from data: identifying the right framework to translate a business question into a statistical problem; locating and combining data sources as well as transforming large datasets; running in-depth analyses; building machine learning models that automate large-scale decisions and integrating them into live business processes; and interpreting, visualizing, and communicating results to internal and external stakeholders.

We are looking for team players who have excellent quantitative abilities and:

• A degree in economics, statistics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, physics, or similar fields
• In-depth understanding of mathematical and statistical concepts behind most common machine learning techniques and a proven interest in causal inference questions, e.g., A/B tests
• Experience in coding and working with data (from a previous research or industry internship or extensive course projects) using a wide range of tools and languages: Python (Pandas, XGBoost/LightGBM), R (dplyr, ggplot2), and git
• Ability to see solutions and opportunities that others do not see
• High level of commitment and reliability, good balance of pragmatism and perfectionism
• Business proficiency in German

Bonus if skilled in any of the following tools and/or languages:

• SQL
• Tensorflow
• Keras
• Cloud infrastructure
• Docker
• Lower-level languages like C#/C++/C
