About Faraday

Faraday helps consumer brands find, convert, engage, and retain more customers using AI. Located in the historic Maltex Building in beautiful Burlington, Vermont, we’re a fast-growing venture-backed startup founded in 2012.

Our values

We believe in privacy and are committed to ending the widespread proliferation of consumer data. We believe in science and the power of statistically significant conclusions. We believe in equality and reject all forms of algorithmic prejudice. We believe in health and fun and encourage a positive work/life balance.

About our Data Science team

At the heart of the Faraday AI platform is a shared machine learning pipeline framework built from the ground up. Our data scientists work with clients and their Faraday account managers to carefully define one or more business goals for deployment on the platform. The pipeline uses these “outcome” definitions to perform ETL, training data formation, feature engineering, model building, validation, scoring, and deployment.

Your team is also responsible for curating the Faraday Identity Graph from upstream data sources, preparing interpretive analysis for clients, and nurturing Faraday’s quantitative culture.

● Being curious—there’s so much we don’t know in the world of data science, and our only guaranteed driver of innovation is the collaborative work of open minds.

You are a methodical, self-motivated individual, capable of keeping your eye on the finish line amidst competing priorities. You have good interpersonal abilities which you will employ regularly, including:

● Weekly team meetings

● Transparent project tracking
