Companies Data Science is building a Python library that enables data scientists and engineers to:

1. analyze experiments with state-of-art statistical inferencing built-in,
2. fetch data from up-to-date sources of truth,
3. build deeper insights on top of companies data, and
4. centralize, standardize, and socialize repeatable analyses and data science tasks.

We are just getting started and seek to expand the set of features in this library, improve performance and throughput, and develop a community of Snoo contributors. To realize this vision of a collaborative data science library, we are looking for a full-time Python developer with strong technical and interpersonal skills and a sense of ownership.
