Join a fast-evolving digital team driving innovation in sectors ranging from fintech to healthcare. Our teams are pioneering new ways to use data to shape strategy, improve systems, and influence decision-making on a global scale.
What You'll Do: Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate on Real-World Projects: Support senior data scientists in implementing supervised and unsupervised learning models to interpret vast datasets across varied industries.
- Data Preparation & Cleansing: Utilize Python libraries like Pandas and NumPy to cleanse, format, and analyze raw datasets, enabling more accurate downstream processing.
- Model Development: Assist in designing, training, and validating predictive algorithms using platforms like Scikit-learn and TensorFlow.
- Business Intelligence Reporting: Help build automated dashboards with Power BI or Tableau that deliver real-time business insights.
- Data Visualization: Using Matplotlib or Seaborn, create compelling data visualizations that clarify and deepen complex data stories.
- Cross-Functional Learning: Work alongside data engineers, analysts, and project leads to develop a comprehensive understanding of the data lifecycle.
- Documentation & Presentation: Contribute to well-documented codebases and present findings in regular team meetings.
An Environment Geared for Innovation and Growth
- Fully Remote Collaboration: Work from any location while connecting with global teams using tools like Slack, Zoom, and Jira.
- Culture of Curiosity: As you grow, you're encouraged to ask questions, challenge ideas, and explore new frameworks like PyTorch or XGBoost.
- Mentorship-Driven Learning: Receive 1-on-1 guidance from data leaders committed to helping you master concepts like feature engineering, model optimization, and A/B testing.
- Continuous Feedback Loop: Regular code reviews and project retrospectives ensure your learning evolves with every sprint.
- Real Impact, Early On: From your first week, you’ll contribute to real datasets that influence product development, marketing decisions, and customer experience strategies.
Tools & Technologies You’ll Explore
- Programming Languages: Python, R (basic exposure)
- Analytics Platforms: Jupyter Notebooks, Google Colab, Databricks
- Visualization Tools: Tableau, Power BI, Seaborn
- Data Engineering Basics: SQL querying, Git version control, API data integrations
- Machine Learning Frameworks: TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, Keras
- Cloud Exposure: Introduction to AWS (S3, Lambda), Google Cloud
Qualifications & Skillset
- A degree or current enrollment in Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Math, or a related field (bootcamp grads welcome).
- Demonstrated interest in data-driven problem solving via portfolio projects or academic work.
- Basic knowledge of statistics, probability, and linear algebra.
- Comfort with Python syntax and beginner libraries (Pandas, Matplotlib).
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Self-driven, detail-oriented, and eager to contribute to a high-performance data team.
- Ability to manage your time in a remote-first, asynchronous environment.
What Success Looks Like
In your first three months, you’ll go from learning project foundations to confidently owning tasks like exploratory data analysis (EDA) and model evaluation. By month six, expect to take the lead on independent contributions, identify optimization opportunities, and experiment with hyperparameter tuning and cross-validation techniques. Your growth will be measured in tasks completed and the insight and initiative you bring.
Why This Role Matters
- Scale Your Impact: Your work will support teams in finance, marketing, logistics, and user experience, with measurable outcomes for business performance.
- Accelerate Your Learning Curve: Apprentices in our past cohorts have landed full-time roles as junior data scientists and machine learning engineers within a year.
- Data-First Culture: Join a company where data models and actionable analytics support over 75% of strategic decisions.
Growth Opportunities After the Apprenticeship
- Transition to full-time Data Scientist or Data Analyst roles within the organization.
- Specialized tracks in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Deep Learning, or Data Engineering.
- Sponsored certifications in Google Cloud Data Engineering, TensorFlow, or Tableau.
- Access to exclusive datasets and beta technology trials that refine your skills ahead of industry trends.
Annual Compensation
USD 82,640 per year — competitive for apprenticeship-level roles and includes access to health stipends, learning reimbursements, and remote work equipment support.
