We are seeking an Early Career Data Scientist to join our engineering team and help solve complex, real-world problems using data, mathematics, and machine learning.

At Syncrowin, you will work with large-scale datasets to develop uncover operational patterns, and support intelligent decision-making across energy, manufacturing, mining, and critical infrastructure.

You will work closely with experienced AI engineers, data scientists, and domain experts, gaining hands-on exposure to the entire machine learning lifecycle, from data exploration and experimentation to model validation and deployment.

This role is ideal for a recent graduate or early-career professional with strong analytical foundations, intellectual curiosity, and a genuine interest in applying data science to challenging real-world problems.

We value demonstrated ability, initiative, and a willingness to learn over years of experience.

What you will do
  • Explore, clean, analyse, and interpret large-scale industrial and operational datasets
  • Develop and evaluate statistical and machine learning models for forecasting, anomaly detection, and optimisation
  • Perform exploratory data analysis and identify meaningful patterns in complex datasets
  • Build data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation pipelines
  • Work with time-series, sensor, and operational data from real industrial environments
  • Design experiments, test hypotheses, and communicate findings clearly
  • Collaborate with AI engineers to improve model accuracy, robustness, and generalisation
  • Contribute to research, prototyping, and the development of new AI capabilities
  • Document methodologies, experiments, and model performance
What you will need
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, Physics, or a related quantitative discipline
  • 0–3 years of relevant experience, including internships, academic research, or substantial personal projects
  • Strong Python programming skills
  • Sound understanding of statistics, probability, linear algebra, and machine learning fundamentals
  • Experience using SQL to query and manipulate data
  • Ability to structure analytical problems and draw meaningful conclusions from data
  • Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to experimentation
  • Curiosity, initiative, and willingness to learn new technical concepts quickly
  • Ability to communicate technical findings clearly
Good to have
  • Academic or project experience with forecasting, deep learning, or optimisation
  • Familiarity with PyTorch or TensorFlow
  • Exposure to cloud platforms, particularly Azure
  • Experience with sensor data, IoT, energy systems, or industrial datasets
  • Participation in research projects, Kaggle competitions, or open-source contributions
  • Understanding of MLOps, model deployment, or data engineering fundamentals
  • Experience with mathematical modelling, operations research, or applied optimisation
Why join
  • Work on real industrial datasets and problems with measurable operational impact
  • Gain hands-on experience building AI solutions beyond academic exercises
  • Learn directly from experienced engineers and technical founders
  • Contribute to projects across energy, manufacturing, mining, and critical infrastructure
  • Develop your skills across applied machine learning, data engineering, and production AI
  • Take ownership of meaningful technical work early in your career
What we offer
  • Competitive compensation
  • Opportunity to participate in an Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP)
  • Mentorship and direct collaboration with experienced AI engineers
  • Hands-on exposure to the full AI development lifecycle
  • Small, sharp team with no unnecessary layers or bureaucracy
  • Opportunities for technical growth, research, and increasing ownership
Sounds like you?

Tell us about a data science project you're proud of, what problem you solved, how you approached it, and what you learned.

We welcome applications from recent graduates and early-career candidates with strong technical potential.
