Restarting remote data science job postings

The remote-work-world is undergoing a gigantic shift right now and I figured it was time to dust off this project. With the likes of Facebook, Twitter, Square, and Shopify all announcing permanent plans to move towards a remote workforce, it’s only a mater of time till other companies follow. My plan is to do a semi-regular mailing of remote job offerings that I find interesting, to help you find a shiny new remote job doing data science or machine learning related work.

To get started, here’s a few recent ones:

• Wikimedia Foundation, VP of Data Science and Engineering
• Duck Duck Go, Senior Fraud Prevention Engineering
• Shopify, Data Science Manager - Shop app (EMEA)
• Shopify, Senior Data Scientist - Multiple Roles

More to come later. Keep up the good work.
