Data Scientist - VerAI

**NOTE: Location: Home based, remote-only (At this time only seeking Colorado residents)***

MUST BE US CITIZEN- CANNOT OFFER SPONSORSHIP

Our Mission:

VerAI is committed to accelerating the global zero-carbon transformation by discovering the minerals essential for our sustainable future. In the last two decades, the mineral exploration industry underperformed with a very low rate of discovery success, failing to supply the massive demand for these critical commodities. We are disrupting Mineral Exploration by deploying a revolutionary Artificial Intelligence Targeting Platform that detects mineral deposits in underexplored, covered terrain. The world awaits a revolutionary change, and the unique conditions we have created for success allow VerAI to lead a vital paradigm shift in the way mineral discoveries are made.

We are well funded by strong financial and strategic investors, including T Rowe Price, Orion Resources, Chrysalix Capital, which specializes in transformation industrial innovation, mining and its direct contribution to the global Clean Energy transition; and Blumberg Capital, which brings extensive experience in successfully applying AI solutions to different verticals and industries. www.ver-ai.com
