About ION and Our Research Mission
At ION, research is not separate from product — it is the engine of innovation.
Our mission is to transform the world of financial and economic intelligence through rigorous, data-driven research embedded directly in product development.
ION’s Core Banking and Analytics platforms provide access to one of the most comprehensive data ecosystems in the financial sector — spanning transactional, accounting, behavioral, textual, and unstructured data from across multiple banking institutions.
Our team drives the scientific and technological development of ION’s core financial products — including credit risk scoring, early warning systems, portfolio monitoring, and digital finance analytics — while advancing the global state of knowledge through collaborations and participation in top-tier conferences.
About the Role
We are seeking a Junior Research & Data/AI Engineer to join our multidisciplinary research and engineering team.
This hybrid role combines quantitative research and data engineering skills to design, implement, and deploy innovative models and data-driven solutions that power ION’s financial products.
You will work in an environment where academic rigor meets applied innovation, contributing to model development, data pipelines, and machine learning workflows.
This position offers opportunities to collaborate with ION Labs hosted at Bocconi University, HEC Paris, and leading U.S. institutions, and to learn from senior experts through joint projects and internal training.
