We are honu.ai, a venture backed startup building the next generation platform to give small business owners superhuman decision making capabilities. We are currently in stealth mode and are backed by Europe’s top investors (early backers of TransferWise, Tide, Coinbase, CityMapper, Cazoo, Nested, Habito, Cleo, King, Snyk, etc…) The technology we are building is novel and we will be pushing the boundaries of what has been done in this space.

Honu is the name of the hawaiian green sea turtle, it is known to be an excellent navigator and symbolizes good luck, endurance and long life. Honu can also show up as a person’s guardian spirit, known as "Aumakua". We are the most loved, trusted and intelligent platform for small business owners that will help them navigate to success.

We are looking for a highly versatile, polymath, research scientist with strong foundations in numerical methods, ML, and statistical techniques. You will be the first data science hire in the company and be part of the core team of 5 people building the first iteration of a unique product.

We’re taking a unique approach to the tech we are building, and people who bring diversity of experience and a track record of creative solutions are particularly welcome.

Our initial stack is in Go and Python for the back-end, and React/Typescript on the front-end. We have a pragmatic, non dogmatic approach and will refine the tech stack and find the right tools for the job, as the product evolves. Scientific computing will be mostly implemented in Python, for now.

$50,000 — $150,000/year
