Intern Data Scientist: Nowcasting Inflation

QuantCube analyses billions of alternative data points in real time, using artificial intelligence and big data analytics to deliver insights ahead of the market – giving users an edge in their investment strategies.

Today we are the global leader in macroeconomic intelligence nowcasting and in pinpointing macro regime change. Our vision is to become the standard point of reference for macroeconomic, sector, corporate and environmental intelligence. By delivering timely, comprehensive and actionable economic insights we empower users within financial institutions, corporates and public bodies to reach their financial performance and sustainability goals.

Headquartered in Paris, QuantCube employs a diverse international team of economists, quant analysts and data scientists with expertise in multilingual NLP, deep learning and machine learning techniques. The company’s shareholders include Moody’s and Caisse des Dépôts and its R&D in computer vision has been partially funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and French government space agency CNES.

QuantCube Technology’s Inflation product consists in providing real-time indicators of inflation to different economic actors, whether it be private investors like hedge funds or banks or public institutions. These indexes are even more important as inflation is one of the key macroeconomic variables to monitor since it impacts interest rates, economic growth but also social stability. The Macro Team is therefore looking for an intern with econometric and machine learning skills with a strong interest in economics.
