Head of Data Science

Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in Kathmandu, Bagmati Province and two nearshore delivery centres. Karmacharya Software employs 830 people across engineering hubs in Kathmandu and three other locations, building ERP software for mid-market manufacturers. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

We're looking for a Head of Data Science to join our team. This is a remote role. This hire will own our demand forecasting models and the process for keeping them accurate as conditions change. Remote position. Most of the team is in Kathmandu, but nobody is required to come in. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.
