Novi is a VC backed company applying machine learning and automation to transform how innovative oil & gas operators invest billions of dollars to develop energy assets. Our industry knowledge combined with our experience building scalable, data driven applications enables us to deliver best-in-class solutions to our customers and positions us to lead this emerging technology space. As a Senior Data Scientist, you’ll be at the heart of our mission, working closely with our engineers and ETL teams to deliver innovative solutions that drive real-world impact. You’ll like it here if you never train on your eval data, always use f1 scores instead of accuracy, and sometimes laugh at memes about the Nobel Prize in physics. You won’t like it here if you don’t like small companies, distributed teams, or agile development.
What You’ll Do:
- Design and implement algorithmic and data-driven solutions to open-ended problems
- Own projects from the research stage through productizing to on-call support
- Write clean code in Python – we have nothing against R but this is not a pirate ship
- Collaborate with SMEs to translate business needs into product requirements
- Keep up with the latest advances in data science and machine learning
What We’re Looking For:
- 5+ years of hands-on experience as a Data Scientist
- Hands-on as in you have labeled data and written estimators by hand
- Advanced degree in statistics or a quantitative research field
- You own copies of ESLII and ML Design Patterns and have read at least one of them
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly
- Proven track record of delivering business value instead of tinkering with hyperparameters
- Enough time spent with Pandas that you know when to use NumPy instead
- Usage of typical dev tools like bash, git, Docker, debuggers, and profilers
- Experience working for a company of less than 100 total employees
Bonus Skills:
- Knowledge of the energy sector and its unique data challenges
- Background with GIS, geospatial data formats, and spatial statistics
- Facility with time series data, forecasting problems, and a strong aversion to time travel
- Enough time in AWS that you know which of EKR, EKS, ECS, and ECR are real services
- Experience creating or contributing to open source projects

- Be part of an innovative team solving critical problems in the energy sector
- Easy line of sight to how your work impacts the company and our customers
- Opportunities for growth as we scale our product offerings
- Competitive salary, equity options, and benefits
