Data Scientist, Investment Research
HYBRID OFFICE | ENGINEERING | FULL-TIME
Erithmitic is a financial services platform reimagining Commercial Real Estate (CRE) lending. We are building a next-generation E2E CRE loan management and investment platform using modern technologies. Erithmitic's lending team can source, originate, and underwrite loans using the workflow suite directly within our ecosystem. Leveraging a variety of public and private data sources and machine learning techniques, the Company is able to generate new and useful insights in evaluating the unique risks and opportunities of each CRE transaction, allowing for better and more accurate pricing. Our team of experienced operators comes from a diverse set of backgrounds, from Microsoft to Goldman Sachs and Gusto. We just raised a $6M seed round, backed by two prominent venture firms: AlleyCorp and Tishman Speyer Ventures, and we're planning to grow!
The Team
Erithmitic's data engineering platform enables us to harness some of the industry's most complex and challenging content, as we structure and integrate datasets into our products. Erithmitic's data scientists are focused on exploring and evaluating new datasets; inventing and constructing features from these datasets; and building models from these features. We utilize a variety of modeling techniques to generate financially-relevant predictions feeding into Erithmitic's systematic investment management platform, measure the performance and impact of our predictions in a variety of settings, and further distill economic insights and thematic analyses from our data & observations. Erithmitic's entire tech organization is committed to learning and exploring; we routinely have seminars and emphasize cross-functional learning so that you can grow as our organization does.
