Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath has opened applications for two senior-level roles - Senior Data Scientist and Senior Researcher - to work directly with him in Mumbai. This is not your average job post. Kamath seeks sharp minds with long-term vision, deep analysis, and independent insight.

Senior Researcher: Candidates should have 6–8+ years of experience, with deep expertise in sectors like energy, AI, media, or economics. The role involves thesis-level thinking and the ability to deliver original, long-form research.

Senior Data Scientist: Applicants need 5–8 years of experience, with strong proficiency in Python, SQL, Tableau/Power BI, and a knack for modeling, predictions, and risk evaluation.

Kamath emphasizes the need for first-principle thinkers who are comfortable with ambiguity and passionate about “high-conviction” investing. These roles are not just job switches - they’re strategic opportunities to work with one of India’s most unconventional and successful investors.

While compensation details aren’t disclosed, the chance to shape big investment bets from the inside makes this a rare and prestigious opportunity. Interested professionals can apply via LinkedIn.
