CFRA is looking for a Data Scientist to join our equity research technology team in India. This role sits at the intersection of quantitative finance and data science, applying statistical modeling, machine learning, and financial domain expertise to build tools that power CFRA's independent equity research and investment analytics platforms.

The ideal candidate combines strong data science and programming skills with a genuine grounding in financial markets and equity analysis — someone who can translate raw financial data into research-grade signals, models, and insights that analysts and clients rely on. A CFA charter (or progress toward one) and hands-on equity research experience are strongly preferred, as this role requires close collaboration with research analysts and a working understanding of financial statement analysis, valuation, and investment methodology.

Key Responsibilities

-
Design, build, and maintain quantitative models and machine learning pipelines that support equity research, stock screening, and investment analytics

-




Partner with equity research analysts to translate research methodologies (valuation, financial statement analysis, earnings quality, sector-specific frameworks) into scalable, data-driven models

-
Source, clean, and engineer features from structured and unstructured financial data, including fundamentals, market data, earnings transcripts, and alternative data sets

-
Develop and validate predictive models (e.g., earnings forecasts, factor models, risk scoring) and communicate results to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

-
Build and maintain data pipelines and automated workflows for ongoing model refresh and monitoring

-
Collaborate with software engineering teams to productionize models within CFRA's research and analytics applications

-
Perform exploratory data analysis to identify recent signals, themes, or anomalies relevant to equity research

-
Document methodologies, assumptions, and model limitations
