Data Scientist
What you can expect from us
Alpha Leap is a small, employee-owned AI studio.
We’re not a traditional consultancy and not a big corporate machine. We’re building products, new ventures, and meaningful AI solutions together with ambitious companies — and we’re building the company itself at the same time.
Here, you won’t be “a resource on a project”.
You’ll:
become a co-owner of the company
shape how we work, not just what we build
work directly with clients and real problems (no middle layers)
have real autonomy and trust from day one
influence culture, processes, and decisions
grow fast — technically, professionally, and personally
We care deeply about:
kindness, curiosity, craft, and ownership.
Small team = big impact.
Your voice actually matters here.
What we expect from you
You’re not just a Data Scientist. You’re a builder.
You enjoy moving between:
messy business problems
sharp technical work
and clear communication
You like thinking with clients, not just delivering to them.
You’re comfortable figuring things out when there’s no playbook yet — and you probably get a bit bored when everything is already defined.
Most importantly:
You take responsibility like it’s your own company.
Because here, it is.
What you’ll likely bring
(We care more about mindset and experience than checkboxes — but this is the kind of background that usually works well.)
Strong experience applying AI/ML to real-world problems
Solid Python skills (data, modeling, experimentation)
Comfortable working with messy datasets and SQL
Good intuition for statistics and modeling trade-offs
Experience talking to stakeholders or clients
Ability to explain complex things simply
You’ve probably done this for several years already — but we care more about what you’ve built than exactly how long you’ve worked. Right now, we're looking for senior people but this will change going forward.
Research shows women apply only when they meet 100% of the requirements. You do not need that. Apply or get in touch with us anyway.
What makes someone thrive here
You might be a great fit if you:
take ownership without waiting for instructions
think in systems, not just tasks
enjoy collaborating closely with others
communicate clearly and kindly
care about craft and quality
stay curious and keep learning
want to help build a company, not just join one
What this is not
Alpha Leap is still early.
We don’t have:
rigid structures
fixed career ladders
predefined roles
layers of management
If you prefer clear instructions and predictable paths, this might feel frustrating.
If you get excited about shaping things from the ground up — you’ll probably love it.
A quick note: We’ve automated parts of our selection process. This means that if you don’t meet the must-have requirements, you won’t be able to apply or will be automatically deselected. We’re doing this to make the process smoother and fairer for everyone. Make sure to connect with us if you'd like to stay in touch for the future!
