We are looking for Competitive Data Scientist (Kaggle) candidates for a project delivered through the hiring partner.
What you'll do
- Build reproducible environments, prepare relevant data and dependencies, and implement reference solutions.
- Develop tests and evaluation criteria that reliably distinguish correct solutions from incomplete or flawed approaches.
- Run coding agents against tasks, investigate their failures, and refine the tasks based on observed behavior.
- Identify implementation errors, flawed assumptions, data leakage, and other issues that affect correctness.
- Document task requirements, solution reasoning, and verification steps clearly.
What you need
- Demonstrated experience in data science, ML, quantitative modeling, or relevant research competitions (Kaggle, DrivenData, etc.).
- Strong problem-solving ability and a clear understanding of the methods you use.
- Practical programming ability sufficient to implement and verify your own solutions.
Nice to have
- Strong coding experience, particularly in Python, including testing, debugging, and working with unfamiliar code.
