London, United Kingdom Vitol Full time
Job Description

The Data Scientist at Vitol has impact across the full workflow of data science: from working with business stakeholders to help define the project, to data collation and processing, exploratory analysis, model selection and tuning, and implementation of production models or custom visualizations. We extract value from data in many different ways, and experience exploring and extracting insights from data is just as important as the ability to build complex models. When driving business outcomes with data, a good visualization is often just as important as a small MAE. The data we work with is often complex and messy, and a successful Data Scientist at Vitol is always willing to roll up their sleeves and delve into the data in order to achieve results.

The data scientist will regularly engage directly with traders, brokers, analysts, and researchers across nearly all aspects of Vitol in order to understand the data that goes into internal models and the business problems that need to be solved, but the day to day collaboration will be within the small and highly agile Data Science team. 

Responsibilities include:

  • Being an energetic and enthusiastic member of a team uniquely positioned to bring the power of data to bear on the inner workings of the energy industry
  • Exploring new datasets, extracting insights, and visualizing the results
  • Standardizing and structuring data in clear, extensible, easily understandable ways
  • Applying machine learning models in novel ways to heterogeneous data sets to help optimize Vitol’s diverse businesses
  • Helping review the code and experimental design of other Data Scientists to ensure a high level of production quality
  • Building data expertise with domain experts in specific aspects of Vitol’s operations
  • Aiding in the implementation of the above models and custom visualizations to help drive business value
     

Qualifications

Essential Qualifications

  • Degree in a STEM subject with a solid understanding of coding best practices
  • 3-5+ years in industry working as a data scientist with machine learning models applied to real-world data 
  • Extensive experience presenting complex data visually to a wide audience (plotly, bokeh, etc.)
  • Extensive experience exploring and extracting insights from heterogeneous multi-dimensional data sets
  • Fluency in Python (3) with the ability to write clean, modular, well-documented code in a collaborative development setting
  • Advanced coursework in math, statistics, and machine learning preferred
  • Demonstrable attention to detail

Desired Experience

  • Time series modelling (both machine-learning and econometric approaches)
  • Application of a wide range of machine learning methodologies to real life applications 
  • Enterprise software development (code design, code review, version control, etc.)
  • Cloud-based data science workflows (esp. AWS) and understanding of AWS services
  • Experience in building ETL pipelines in Python and on AWS
  • Awareness of continuous integration and delivery concepts/technologies  
  • Experience with MLOps, NLP and deep-learning are considered a plus


Additional Information

Personal Characteristics

  • A self-motivated individual who thrives on seeing the results of their work make an impact in the business 
  • Strong communication skills, both verbally and in writing - passionate about using data to help tell a story
  • A keen sense for the art of the possible
  • Proven ability to be flexible and work hard, both independently collaboratively
  • Methodical and organized - in general, in experimental design, and in code
  • Attention to detail with strong analytical, mathematical, and problem-solving skills
  • An interest in learning about the commodities space
  • Resourceful and able to think creatively and adapt in a dynamic and energetic environment
  • Team player, with an open non-political style and a high level of personal integrity
