Senior Data Scientist

About the company: 

The mining industry has steadily become worse at finding new ore deposits, requiring >10X more capital to make discoveries compared to 30 years ago. The easy-to-find, near-surface deposits have largely been found, and the industry has chronically under-invested in new exploration technology, relying on the manual techniques of yesteryear – even as demand accelerates for copper, lithium, and other metals to build electric vehicles, renewable energy, and data centers.

Technical skills, including extensive experience with:

• Python’s data science packages and general software engineering practices.

• Cloud computing resources.
• Building predictive models, applying them to different problems, and evaluating and interpreting the results.
