Job Description
Data Scientist
YipitData
• Translate ambiguous customer questions into well-scoped data science projects spanning panel data, time series, and causal inference • Engineer features from large alternative-data panels (transaction-level, invoice-level, web-scraped) using Spark • Build, validate, and interpret causal and predictive models that link alternative-data signals to financial outcomes such as revenue, earnings surprise, and KPI inflections • Author technical white papers and customer analyses for institutional investors and Fortune 500 readers, including figures, equations, and narrative framing for sophisticated readers • Use LLM coding assistants and agents as a primary collaborator: prototype faster, write higher-quality code, audit your own work, and ship deliverables in compressed timelines • Build internal LLM-driven tooling (agents, eval harnesses, retrieval pipelines) for the broader organization • Partner with data engineering, product, and revenue teams to close the loop between signal development and the customer-facing product • Set technical standards for the team: PEP 8, type hints, vectorized operations, reproducible notebooks, sound methodology, and citation discipline
Job Requirements
- You have shipped multiple data science projects end-to-end and can point to quantifiable customer or business impact
- Your statistical foundations are real, not surface-level. You can defend a causal-inference method choice end-to-end under technical questioning
- You write Python that reads like the work of a senior engineer: clear naming, type hints, vectorized code, no premature abstraction
- You already use LLM coding assistants daily and can describe specific cases where they multiplied your output without compromising quality, and specific cases where you overrode them
- Writing is a primary skill for you, not a side hobby. You communicate as carefully on the page as you do in code
- You take ownership without prompting: you find the right question, ship the answer, and explain it
- Humility about what you do not know matters as much as confidence about what you do
- You read the literature, cite sources, and ground your work in established methods rather than reinventing them.
Benefits
- We care about your personal life, and we mean it. We offer flexible work hours, flexible vacation, a generous 401K match, parental leave, team events, wellness budget, learning reimbursement, and more!
- Your growth at YipitData is determined by the impact that you are making, not by tenure, unnecessary facetime, or office politics. Everyone at YipitData is empowered to learn, self-improve, and master their skills in an environment focused on ownership, respect, and trust.
