Data Scientist

 

Voleon is a technology company that applies state-of-the-art AI and machine learning techniques to real-world problems in finance. For nearly two decades, we have led our industry and worked at the frontier of applying AI/ML to investment management. We have become a multibillion-dollar asset manager, and we have ambitious goals for the future.

 

Your colleagues will include internationally recognized experts in artificial intelligence and machine learning research as well as highly experienced finance and technology professionals.

 

In addition to our enriching and collegial working environment, we offer highly competitive compensation and benefits packages, technology talks by our experts, a beautiful modern office, daily catered lunches, and more.

The Voleon Group is growing its Feature Engineering team — a small, high-impact group responsible for turning the world's messy, complex datasets into predictive signals that power our machine learning models. As a Data Scientist on this team, you'll dig into raw data from diverse domains and, in collaboration with Research, assist in design and implementation of features that capture what is actually happening in the world. This is data storytelling at its most consequential: every feature you build has a direct path to our investment process.

We're looking for deeply curious people who get genuine satisfaction from wrestling with an unfamiliar dataset, understanding its structure and quirks, and emerging with something that encodes real information. You'll own the full arc from data sourcing and curation through feature construction, statistical validation, and integration into our production systems. We also expect you to actively experiment with AI-powered tools — LLM-based coding assistants, agentic workflows, and whatever comes next — to accelerate your day-to-day work and push the boundaries of what a small team can accomplish.
