Data Scientist
Our mission
Climate change is causing deep uncertainty at all levels of society, with climate volatility reducing the security of all land-based assets and posing a multi-level security threat for the functioning of enterprises, societies, and governments.
Mitiga Solutions is a spinoff of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, which hosts MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe.
Mitiga Solutions' mission is firmly rooted in employing cutting-edge science and technology to mitigate the multifaceted risks posed by climate-driven perils. Our approach spans a spectrum of temporal scales, from real-time and annual forecasts to projections spanning the next century. This comprehensive perspective on risk, coupled with our capacity to transfer risks to capital markets via catastrophe bonds, positions us to significantly contribute to enhanced climate mitigation, resilience, and equity.
And we need you.
Who you are
We are looking for a Data Scientist to join our dynamic team. This role involves working with large-scale scientific datasets, applying machine learning techniques, and contributing to the development of innovative products such as dashboards, digital twins, and interactive visualizations. You will collaborate closely with data engineers and scientists to turn complex climate data into actionable insights.
What you'll do
- Analyze and process large datasets using advanced algorithms and statistical methods.
- Develop and refine models for climate risk assessment and predictive analytics.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to design and deploy scalable data pipelines and applications.
- Support integration of scientific requirements into analytical workflows and ensure model validation.
- Contribute to Research & Innovation projects and the creation of new climate-related products.
What we're looking for
- PhD (mandatory) in computer science, engineering, mathematics, physics, climate/earth system science, or a related field.
- Strong programming skills in Python and familiarity with libraries like xarray, pandas, or similar.
- Solid understanding of software engineering principles and version control (Git/GitHub).
- Experience in data analysis, machine learning, or climate science.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in an agile environment.
- Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
Nice to have
- Experience with geospatial tools (e.g., QGIS) and visualization techniques.
- Experience handling large, multi-dimensional datasets (e.g., netCDF, TIFF/GeoTIFF).
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS) for large-scale data processing.
- Background in remote sensing or risk modeling.
