• 10+ years experience in data science, data analytics
• 5+ years experience in leading high performing data teams
• Strong background in data engineering, data science, and analytics with hands-on experience in SQL, Python/R, ETL processes, and cloud-based data solutions (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) and machine learning models.

We're a small team with a lot of things to learn and do. We're building a company, a culture and a product with global ambitions. Culture fit is really important to us here at Nory, and team work is the name of the game – we are looking for someone who shares our values. Dublin, Ireland is where our core team is based, but we’re adapting our processes to the realities of 2024 and beyond so we are remote first where desired.
We're big on research and communication, and we will expect the same from you. No matter the role spec, you'll do great if you think customer-first and are willing to learn about the industry we operate in. You'll speak with customers, build a shared understanding of the problems at hand and, perhaps even identify some unmet needs that deserve to be explored further. Why? Because it takes a variety of skill sets and experiences to build a world-class product. We want you to contribute to the team's knowledge rather than just write code or push pixels whilst siloed away.
We like to think we’re well taken care of. Here's what's on offer on top of our competitive salary:

• Stock Options Own a part of what you help build, and share in the success.
• Flexible working culture We’re not going to tell you what time to start or finish your work. Or where to do it from. You know best.
• Home office setup Because nobody wants their equipment to stop them from doing the work of their lives
• 35 days holidays per year We work hard, chill harder.
• Annual personal development budget – and a free Kindle loaded with books! There’s just so much to learn..!
• Pension and private health insurance It’s really simple – your well-being is important to us.
• Regular workshops, presentations and learning sessions From interview techniques, effective project management to giving actionable feedback and slicing engineering work, our amazing team is always up for sharing what they know. We invite other experts, too.
• Regular events and team offsite Remote never stopped anyone here!
