OpenAI is hiring a senior machine learning data scientist into its Strategic Finance data science group, as a founding member of a new Forecasting pillar.

The posting asks for an MS or PhD, seven-plus years in applied data science, time-series expertise, Python and SQL, and production model maintenance. Hybrid, three days a week in San Francisco.
