We are building a centralised data function supporting quantitative research and development teams.

- Translate modelling work into production‑grade components
- Own models end‑to‑end, including monitoring and iteration
Who Thrives Here
- Strong foundations in statistics, probability, and applied machine learning
- Fluent Python with experience writing production‑quality, testable code
- Hands‑on experience with large, noisy datasets
- Demonstrated impact through shipped models, production systems, or original work
Relevant Experience (one or more)
- Commodities, energy, or asset‑level datasets
- Alternative or unstructured data used in modelling or forecasting (e.g. transactions, text, imagery, sensor data)
- Fully guaranteed, competitive compensation
- Education allowance for dependent children
- 30 working days of annual leave
- Comprehensive healthcare for employee and family
- Business class relocation flights
- Joining and departure allowances
The role is on‑site in Abu Dhabi. Short‑term remote work during the peak summer months is supported, along with generous leave and public holidays. The working model is designed for long‑term sustainability and family life.
