Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha, is hiring for his personal investment team in Mumbai and is looking for smart, forward-thinking people.
Kamath recently posted on LinkedIn that he is looking for two senior positions: Senior Data Scientist and Senior Researcher. Those hired will work closely with Kamath and his core team, helping them make important investment decisions.
“These positions are not for shallow thinkers,” Kamath wrote. He seeks people who can think deeply and contribute original ideas, not just repeat the same analyses.
For the Senior Researcher position, Kamath is looking for people with 6-8 years of in-depth research experience in specific industries. A background in economics, business, or social sciences is required. The job involves analyzing and compiling information from a variety of sources, developing robust insights on industries such as energy, AI, and media, and cross-referencing them with experts and researchers. This position requires people who can think clearly and explain complex topics simply.
The Senior Data Scientist position is aimed at individuals with 5-8 years of experience in data analysis. They should be familiar with Python, SQL, and tools such as Tableau or Power BI. This individual will create data models to help make smart investment decisions, detect performance issues, and predict future revenue and risk. This position requires someone with a good command of numbers but also an understanding of the business side.
Both positions are for individuals who are comfortable with uncertainty, can analyze in detail, and want to help make bold investment decisions.
Kamath hasn’t shared salary details, but working directly with one of India’s leading investors will undoubtedly attract top talent. Kamath is known for his innovative investments and long-term vision, so he seeks people who bring innovative ideas and in-depth analysis.
