Data Scientist

We are a fast-growing auction and e-commerce company specializing in coins and precious metals, operating at high volume across multiple sales channels. We move quickly, make decisions off real data, and are building the systems to scale into a much larger operation.

Position Overview

We are looking for a high-impact Data Scientist who can turn messy, real-world data into clear insights and actionable dashboards. This is not a “sit back and analyze” role—you will be expected to build, automate, and drive decisions across the business.

You’ll work directly with leadership to identify problems, clean and structure data, and create tools that improve how we buy, price, sell, and operate.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain dashboards to track key business metrics (sales, margins, inventory, performance)
• Clean, structure, and unify data from multiple sources (CSV exports, APIs, internal systems)
• Automate recurring workflows (reporting, pricing updates, inventory tracking, alerts)
• Analyze large datasets to identify trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities
• Partner with operations, sales, and leadership to drive data-backed decisions
• Create simple, scalable tools that non-technical team members can use
• Work on ad hoc, high-priority problems with shifting requirements
• Continuously improve data pipelines and reporting accuracy

Who We’re Looking For

• A go-getter who takes ownership and figures things out without needing constant direction
• Comfortable in a startup environment where priorities change quickly
• Strong problem solver who can move from messy data → clear insight → action
• Able to balance speed and accuracy in a high-growth environment
• Strong communicator who can explain data to non-technical stakeholders

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or similar role
• Strong proficiency in Python (pandas, numpy, data processing)
• Strong SQL skills for querying and transforming data
• Experience building dashboards (Tableau, Power BI, Looker, or similar)
• Experience working with messy, unstructured data
• Familiarity with APIs and data integration
• Experience automating workflows and processes

Preferred Skills

• Experience in e-commerce, marketplaces, or high-volume transaction environments
• Familiarity with forecasting, pricing models, or optimization problems
• Experience with cloud platforms (especially Microsoft Azure)
• Experience with scripting/automation (cron jobs, pipelines, etc.)
