You don't need a manager: you just ship.- Low-ego, collaborative and eager to learn.- You have a track record of success through personal projects, professional projects or in academia.- Proven work with timeseries modeling and transformers models applied to time-series: forecasting, anomaly/changepoint detection, irregular sampling, multivariate and hierarchical series.
It would be great if you
- Hold a PhD / master in a relevant field (e.g., Mathematics, Physics, Machine Learning), but if you're an exceptional candidate from a different background, you should apply.- Have contributed to a large codebase used by many (open source or in the industry).- Have a track record of publications in top academic journals or conferences.- Love improving existing code by fixing typing issues, adding tests and improving CI pipelines.
