Are you a Data Science student? Spring 24

We’re looking for a data science-student with an interest in financial mathematical tools and financial data and a desire to join us on our mission to optimise our users' savings over time. You’ll be joining a small startup on a mission. We want to ensure ordinary people make the most of their hard earned salaries. We understand our customers, we understand their pain, and we are passionate about helping them. 

We are looking for a student, who would like to join a ML/AI project where given user input data, calculated data as well as output from our user we aim to test and prototype various clustering and classification algorithms (for instance k-means for clustering and k-nearest neighbors and random forest for classification) to better predict user behavior and streamline the user journey. This would initially be built and tested using Scikit-Learn and then later implemented as a web service. The goal of this web API is to support several use cases, i.e. targeted emailing of users as well as specific front end elements targeting the specific user groups for a more tailored experience.
