Your Toolbelt

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in Data Science
• You’re comfortable working with large-scale, messy datasets – even the kind that don’t fit into memory
• For you state-of-the-art-methods are not just the methods everybody use. You are not afraid to search for answers in scientific literature.
• Strong mathematical intuition – you don’t just apply models; you want to understand why they work
• You follow best practices by default, and know when it’s time to question them
  
  

Your Tools

• Python – comfy with pandas, scikit-learn & friends
• Data Science basics – from feature engineering to model validation
• SQL – joins, aggregations, subqueries? No problem
• Docker & Linux – smooth setup and deployment
• AI/ML – real models, not just slide decks
• Git – because version control is second nature
  
  

Bonus Skills (nice to have):

Apache Spark / Kubernetes / Prefect, Airflow or similar / Torch, VLLM, or LLM-related tooling / pydantic.ai or similar / Shell scripting

Activities

Is your idea of fun wrangling messy data, debugging ML pipelines, and running experiments that actually tell you something? Do you know that correlation ≠ causation, and that pandas aren't just cute animals? 🐼 If your heart beats faster for code, queries, and questions, keep reading. At smartclip, we’re on the hunt for a Data Scientist who’s less into dashboards for the sake of dashboards, and more into uncovering what really matters behind the metrics.

• Explore terabytes of real-world data, not toy datasets
• Work on questions that don’t have answers on StackOverflow (yet)
• Build and improve data products and ML models with a team of domain experts
• Have the freedom to use the right tool for the right job, not just the fashionable one
