JOB DESCRIPTION

At Tivlon Technologies, we aim to offer our clients the best insights, trends and predictive models to help them make more informed and accurate decisions for their investments in commodities. With over 10 years of consulting and industry experience, we know what are the unique challenges faced by commodity traders and which direction to take when analyzing the market. This makes supply and purchase agreements inherently risky. Past price forecasts were often hit-or-miss. They relied on general trends, together with fundamental analysis "feeling" and technical analysis of price charts. Results were often undependable. Now, new technologies of big data collection and management with big data analytics allow forecasts to be significantly more accurate. Tivlon Technologies brings together detailed commodity market knowledge and deep big data analytics expertise. We help you see further into the short and medium-term future and make decisions based on analytics, not just opinion.

JOB RESPONSIBILITY

Degree in a quantitative discipline (degree examples include computer science, statistics, data science, economics, mathematics)

Enthusiasm in dealing with data challenges: from large-scale (requiring big data and parallelization techniques), to sparse, or poor quality (requiring data engineering)

We welcome students who are currently in their academic career and are able to commit 20 hours per week of time to apply.
