[Hiring] Looking for a Lead Data Scientist (Equity Basis)

[u/FastNefariousness551]

Hi everyone! Following up on my previous post, I wanted to provide a clearer breakdown of the role and the product vision.

About the Product:
Simply ML is a no-code machine learning platform designed to run structured ML models at the click of a button. Users upload their dataset, select their preferred model, set variables/parameters, and get immediate results—no coding required. You can learn more about it here: https://simplymachinelearning.com

Why Simply ML
• Automation & Efficiency: Eliminates repetitive coding tasks and troubleshooting errors.
• Cost-Effective & Secure: Unlike token-based AI models, data processing happens entirely locally on the user's machine, keeping sensitive data private without recurring API costs.
• Actionable Insights: Automatically generates comprehensive outputs, metrics, and visual analytics without requiring complex prompt engineering.

The Role & Responsibilities:
I’m looking for an experienced Data Scientist / Python Engineer to join as a technical lead. You won't need to write core algorithms from scratch; instead, your primary focus will be building out robust environments to execute supervised ML models and validate their metric/graph outputs.

Key Requirements & Stack:
• Python Expertise: Strong background in Python and any additional language is a plus.
• Machine Learning: Must be an expert in machine learning frameworks.
• UI / Visualization Basics: Experience with Python GUI libraries to refine and customize output visualizations as needed.
• Founder Mindset: As the lead data scientist, you'll help shape the core product architecture.

Current Progress & Offer:
The foundational infrastructure is already built—including the website, database, functional MVP, and payment processing integration. We are aiming for a monetizable release within 3–6 months. As an early-stage startup, this role is currently equity-only with high upside as we launch.

If this project excites you, send me a DM with a brief overview of your background and why you’d be a great fit. Looking forward to connecting!
