tl;dr You are curious, smart and great at what you do. You are looking for a remote role where you get the chance to work at a startup where you can fundamentally create & shape the product.

The Opportunity

Translucent was only conceived in May but, due to the quality and track record of the team and the huge opportunity, it has already received investment from top tier angels and a leading institutional investor.

Translucent is taking advantage of the latest data tools & techniques to build a next generation accounting system. As such the Data Science Team will be at the very heart of the company and the product.

The opportunity is to be there at the very beginning of a large and successful company.



The Role

This role will be part of the founding Data Science Team. You will have the opportunity to set the architecture, the toolset, the schemas, etc.

You will be part of a small Data Science Team (<5 to begin with) building the MVP of our product alongside our Dev team and our Data Engineering team.

You will be working with financial and accounting data consisting of categorical, numerical, free text and geolocation fields.

You will join a team doing rapid experimentation with modern machine learning algorithms and tech stacks while 1.) respecting the volatile nature of our main dependency: data, and 2.) writing data science code that can go into production.

You will be building the first models that power the Translucent MVP while also designing the data science infrastructure with the dev and engineering teams upon which all other data science work will be built.

You have years of experience working with the modern data science ecosystem and translating business needs into machine learning models and solution design. You have strong experience with the algorithms behind the tooling, and ideally have experience of putting data science code into a productive setting.

Proficiency in Python is a must-have, while experience with MLOps and modern data management is a strong plus.

You are smart and curious, and passionate about your work.

You are looking to work in a team where excellence is recognised, people are treated well and there is a high product velocity.
