Data Scientist

About The Role

YipitData turns billions of alternative-data points into signals that institutional investors and Fortune 500 customers depend on for high-stakes decisions. The data science team owns the methods behind those signals. We do causal inference on panel data, predictive modeling against earnings outcomes, and the white papers customers read.

This role pairs applied data science with AI-native tooling. You will own substantive analytical projects end-to-end. You will use LLM coding assistants as a primary collaborator across every phase of the work: exploratory analysis, production code, written deliverables. You will also help shape how the team builds with AI-native workflows, including tool selection, guardrails, and evaluation patterns.

As a Data Scientist, you will:

• Translate ambiguous customer questions into well-scoped data science projects spanning panel data, time series, and causal inference
• Engineer features from large alternative-data panels (transaction-level, invoice-level, web-scraped) using Spark
• Build, validate, and interpret causal and predictive models that link alternative-data signals to financial outcomes such as revenue, earnings surprise, and KPI inflections
• Author technical white papers and customer analyses for institutional investors and Fortune 500 readers, including figures, equations, and narrative framing for sophisticated readers
• Use LLM coding assistants and agents as a primary collaborator: prototype faster, write higher-quality code, audit your own work, and ship deliverables in compressed timelines
• Build internal LLM-driven tooling
