I’m currently hiring for an AI & Data company in Japan that works with major banks, securities firms, and other financial institutions on advanced Data Science and AI projects.

As a Senior Data Scientist, you will lead projects from problem definition and modeling through implementation and MLOps, with a strong focus on real business impact.
