Data Scientist

Are you insatiably curious? A lover of research, statistics, and programming? Do you enjoy a formidable business challenge? If so, then we share a lot in common and would love to get to know you better.

What is Gradient Metrics?

We’re a new breed of market researchers and data scientists that apply statistical models to make difficult decisions easier. We create actionable intelligence from data of any kind. We investigate deeply and iteratively to solve problems, not symptoms. Above all else, we are never satisfied with the first layer of understanding.

We help a diverse array of clients from Series A startups to Fortune 100 companies precisely evaluate their marketing campaigns, calculate customer lifetime value, assess brand equity and experiment with new product design. And that’s just an appetizer.

There is no “standard” day at Gradient — we like to push the norm by exploring new methodologies and technologies. We can do this because we are lean, flexible, and efficient. This makes us a little different than our peers and we’re looking for someone with a healthy dose of curiosity, brilliance, and (a bit of) grit to join us. Head over to our website and our latest newsletters to find out more about who we are and what we do.

What We’re Looking for: Data Scientist

We are looking for a data scientist who is highly proficient in R (actually, lives and breaths R) and wants to be a part of a research team that helps clients make difficult decisions and automate our research capabilities.

This role consists of three primary domains:

  1. Building, improving and maintaining our internal R infrastructure, which currently includes 10+ packages that are always under active development
  2. Executing and interpreting data analyses (using the functions and packages that you’ve built yourself!) to advise our research managers
    1. Includes (survey) data processing, tidying, reshaping and visualising
  3. Developing and building new research models, grounded in statistical best practices, along with being able to explain them to members of our research team

The skill set for this role should include:

Employment conditions

Based anywhere, working hours in EU or North American time zones (ET +- 6 hours).

Why we think we’re special

Gradient is a truly unique company, and we intend to keep it that way. We value both independence and collaboration — meaning you can do what you need to do to solve a problem, but you have all the tools and expertise at your disposal to get it done. You’ll be part of our growth and will help craft our legacy.

You’ll learn something new every single day by solving problems that rarely have a clear solution. And if you don’t know something, we’ll give you the resources you need to figure it out. We love books, classes, and workshops.We’ll take good care of you with a competitive salary, healthcare coverage, unlimited time off, and a flexible schedule that allows you to be a real person too.
