• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent time management skills with a proven ability to meet deadlines.
• Ability to function well in a high-paced environment.
• Familiarity with machine learning concepts, neural networks, and algorithm design.
• Proficiency in Python and common data science libraries (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn; experience with PyTorch/TensorFlow is a plus)
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to break down complex problems into structured steps.
• Exposure to financial modeling, predictive analytics, or time-series forecasting is a bonus.
• Ability to communicate technical results clearly and collaborate in a cross-functional environment.
• Self-motivated with a strong desire to learn and contribute to impactful real-world projects.

Education and Experience:

• Pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Econometrics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
• Prior internship in Data Science, Software Engineering, or Data Engineering is a plus.
• Personal or academic projects demonstrating hands-on experience with Python, machine learning models, neural networks, or applied analytics are strongly preferred.

Physical Requirements (Office Example – modify as necessary):

• Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
