- You previously worked at a VC firm or hedge fund in a data facing role
- Proficient in TypeScript or Python
- An avid learner constantly exploring new technologies and tinkering with LLMs & vector databases
- You have a big interest in building systems that handle millions of data records
- You don't shy away from making data come to life working on the back- or if necessary also the frontend (i.e. retool)
- A brilliant communicator - you are not afraid to tell if something is going in the wrong direction and you want to correct early on
- You have an existing passion for or an interest in the worlds of startup investing and professional sport
- Bonus: You know your way around Firebase and GCP
What the job involves
- A world-class team is looking for a world-class full-time Data Scientist to help us build and improve our data tools to make better investment decisions
- Implementing tools that surface trends in the investment world
- Strengthen our data-driven methods of identifying startups
- Improve our data driven platform Senna
- We are here to win - not just to take part. Just like our clients who operate at the elite level of sport, we understand that in order to win; we need to put in the work
- This means going the extra mile, being willing to do what others will not and holding ourselves to a higher standard. Some companies play to not lose, we play to win. We are proactive, decisive and have the courage to take risks
- We pay it forward - we are always helpful. To customers, to partners and most importantly to each other. Not because it will ‘pay back’, because it’s the right thing to do
- We are adaptable - we understand in a world that is changing faster than ever before - the only constant is change. The average lifespan of a Fortune 100 company in 1958 was 61 years, now it is 18 years. We adapt to a changing world, constantly iterating, moving forward and staying relevant
- Impossible is an opinion - we are on a mission to build something which has never been done before from the ground up. It will be a hard journey full of challenges which are currently unsolved. Our culture is defined by the fact that when we are confronted with challenges, we work from the assumption that it is possible to overcome them
- We are transparent - we challenge each other. Regardless of title, seniority or reporting lines. We give feedback and we are hungry to receive it. We value honest feedback delivered with kindness, and we value people who ask questions
- We always trust, respect and care for each other - it’s no easy feat working in a startup, let alone one with goals as ambitious as ours. At sequel we believe no one is ever too busy to support fellow team members and that we should always be helpful, inclusive and selfless in the way we work
- Diversity of background and thought is celebrated as we respect and appreciate what makes us all different. We don’t tolerate free riders, egos or workplace politics
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Sequel represents a community comprising some of the world's most accomplished athletes who are actively investing in startups that are driving positive change. The company's focus lies in catering exclusively to professional athletes and a singular asset class: startups.
The potential for growth within its marketplace is substantial on multiple fronts. Over the past several years, venture capital has consistently outperformed virtually every major asset class. Furthermore, on the client side, while the top 17 professional leagues boast a comparatively limited number of individual athletes, their collective annual salaries are huge.
Sequel's founding team boasts an impressive track record with three successful exits from prior ventures, and the company has already garnered substantial investment interest. With its distinctive approach and a seasoned team, the company is poised for significant success in this promising niche.
