1 week ago
Job type: Full-time
Hiring from: Colombia
Category: Data
We value well-tested, reusable code and expect our engineers and data scientists to be as good of practitioners as they are leaders and teachers.
About This Role
Very is a remote-first company, meaning we don’t have a physical office, and you can work from anywhere in Latin America. Your home, a co-working space, on the road, you name it. If you feel like moving, you don’t have to change jobs.
As a Senior Data Scientist at Very, you will work with our Software, Hardware, and Product Design teams to build full-service solutions for our clients. We focus on building end-to-end hardware and software solutions that meet our clients’ business needs, and reliable machine learning systems are often a part of our offering. An ideal candidate will display technical expertise in machine learning and data science, as well as strong communication skills, and the ability to present ideas and results to audiences ranging in technical depth. Candidates should also have experience translating business problems into analytical solutions, working in interdisciplinary teams, and building ML models for production systems.
What You’ll Be Working On
Very is first and foremost a software consultancy. We tackle hard problems for clients who need a targeted, senior team to come in and provide specific solutions. There is a never-ending supply of variety to the types of projects we work on. However, it is critical to note that almost all of these projects are production systems. As such, the only consistent research component of this position will revolve around establishing a pattern of delivery that allows the team to implement full-scale applications leveraging machine learning in a fast, predictable manner.
You’ll spend 80% of your time working on a product or platform for one of our clients, and the other 20% of your time will be spent improving Very’s Data Science Practice. This will involve:
* Working with other data scientists to continuously improve our delivery process for data science applications.
* Working with our marketing team to generate high-quality content (blog posts, conference presentations)
* Working with our sales team to close deals and build meaningful, well-scoped proposals for potential clients.
It is helpful to have familiarity with the following analytical approaches:
* predictive modeling and/or anomaly detection on multivariate time series data
* state classification and prediction for geospatial time series data
* regression and classification using a variety of deep learning and ensemble tree-based methods
* clustering / segmentation
* dimensionality reduction or latent space representation
Our Current Tooling
Our data science contracts typically involve building a greenfield API or greenfield product from the ground up. In the context of the data science and machine learning pipelines, we typically leverage:
* Jupyter notebooks for prototyping
* The standard SciPy Stack (Numpy, SciPy, Pandas, Scikit-Learn, Matplotlib)
* PyTorch
* AWS Lambda via the Serverless Framework
* AWS Sagemaker
* AWS Batch
* MLflow
* git (version control), CircleCI (CI/CD), pytest (TDD)
On our full-service builds, we often reach for the following tools:
* React & React Native
* Swift & Objective C
* Elixir, Phoenix, and Nerves
* Ruby on Rails
* Serverless or Terraform
Any familiarity with these tools is a plus. Our build teams operate with a very high degree of collaboration, so you will definitely have run-ins with these stacks throughout your time here.
How You’ll Be Compensated
We believe in a transparent, fair compensation structure and have developed our own open salary formula for Latin America-based employees.

Depending on your skill and experience, you can expect to make somewhere between $52,000 and $60,000 USD per year upon joining the company.
