Description

  • Develop and deploy production-level code and scalable data pipelines

  • Build and optimise statistical and machine learning models for risk and analytics use cases

  • Ability to translate business or research problems into scalable analytical solutions

  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage cross-functional stakeholders

  • Exposure to NLP, text analytics, or risk modelling is advantageous

Job Offer
  • 6-month contract with strong potential for extension
