Data Scientist (Santa Monica, CA / FULL-TIME)

Ready to kick off your data science journey at the crossroads of finance and tech? This full-time, in-person role in Santa Monica places you at the heart of a top-tier investment firm that’s spent the last decade building a powerhouse in private equity and credit.

Why is this role a standout? You'll dive into proprietary financial data and partner closely with the people making billion-dollar calls.
