Requirements

• Fluency in Python • Proven data science experience (primary or equal contributor to either a single large or multiple smaller data science analyses or products, working with a team / stakeholders) • Genuine comfort with the sorts of statistics and methods used in classification problems • Experience with image classification • Experience calling machine learning APIs via REST or client libraries • Real agile experience (worked with Kanban, Scrum, Extreme Programming) • Growth mindset • Willingness to learn our systems • Full-time availability • Demonstrated ability to work independently/autonomously • Ability to communicate effectively and work exclusively in English. • Experience with self-managed data science projects • Software development background • Clean Code, Unit Tests • Experience managing clients and client relationships • Equity Working at AE means receiving equity in some of our client projects and in the Skunkworks projects we incubate. • The equity granted is priced at a value of $0 when you receive it. • If it were otherwise, you'd be forced to pay taxes. • But to be clear, there are no free lunches, only the choice of who pays for your sandwich. • Offering this equity (by investing in Skunkworks or offering clients a lower rate) comes out of AE's margins. • Theoretically, we should be lowering salaries to compensate. • But we're competitive on that front as well. • Over the long-term, we believe AE employees

Benefits

• You will have the opportunity to work remotely and/or from our office in Florianópolis. • We have a highly skilled team of developers building products to increase human agency using the most recent technologies. • We have an awesome work environment and a highly productive process. • We are looking for someone with strong problem-solving skills and self-management skills. • We invest millions annually in Skunkworks projects - paying our employees to build technology for which no client pays a bill. • We receive equity from certain clients, which means we accept less in terms of our billable rate. • Sure it's priced at $0 on day 1 - a call option on a stock trading at $100 with a strike price of $100 is priced at $0 today for tax purposes, but you'd want to receive that option. • If you left AE on good terms, you can retain 20% of your equity if you continue to send leads our way, share our core values, etc. • If you left AE for your own AE-incubated Skunkworks project (or someone else's), you retain 100% of your equity. • Folks create exponentially more value here in their 3rd and 4th years than their 1st or 2nd - we want folks who think long-term like we do.
