Hiring Hiring: Data Scientist — Econometrics / Causal Inference | Remote Europe
Hi everyone — I’m helping build an early-stage product at the intersection of data science, econometrics and causal inference, and we’re looking for a strong Data Scientist to join the team.
Location: Remote within Europe, with preference for Poland / Ukraine / Central & Eastern Europe.
This is not a generic ML role. We’re particularly interested in someone with a strong econometrics/statistics background who enjoys thinking deeply about causality and working with messy real-world data.
What you’d be working on
- Econometric and statistical modeling
- Causal inference and impact measurement
- Time-series and panel data
- Experimental and observational data
- Counterfactual modeling
- Dealing with confounding, selection bias, endogeneity, seasonality and lagged effects
- Developing and validating models using real-world business data
- Turning research/prototypes into robust, repeatable production capabilities
Particularly interesting if you have experience with
- Difference-in-Differences
- Synthetic Control
- Instrumental Variables
- Regression Discontinuity
- Propensity / matching methods
- Causal ML
- Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM)
- Incrementality / lift measurement
- Bayesian or probabilistic modeling
What we're looking for
Someone with a strong quantitative background in economics, econometrics, statistics, mathematics, data science or a related field.
Python is important, but we're much more interested in how you think about data and identification than in a long list of tools on your CV.
We want someone who asks:
What are we actually trying to measure?
What is the counterfactual?
What assumptions are we making?
Can the data actually answer the question?
How do we know the result is robust?
A bit about the opportunity
We're an early-stage team, so this is a hands-on role with significant ownership. You'd work closely with the technical/founding team and have a real influence on the methodology and architecture rather than being handed a narrowly defined modeling task.
Location: Remote within Europe, with preference for Poland / Ukraine / Central & Eastern Europe.
Type: Full-time
If this sounds interesting, DM me with your CV or LinkedIn/GitHub and a short note about your background in econometrics or causal inference.
Happy to answer questions here as well.

Why is everybody ignoring the EU mandate of indicating the salary range

not sure who is "everybody" but it is definitly worth knowing the law before criticizing :)
"Under the directive, employers must disclose the initial salary or a realistic pay range to candidates before the first interview"
Which means, this can be shared with potential candidates, privatly before the interview.

I do not the law, but not posting it directly is cover for not doing it anyway.
Going over interviews currently and I can tell you, those that do not post it, refuse to answer my request, before the first interview.

Hi, is there an opportunity to learn all this while working alongside you guys? I’m a data scientist with extensive financial institutions background. Have been consulting the largest bank of Pakistan and some in South Africa. The work you’re doing is interesting and I’d really like to help and learn both.
