What is a Data Scientist at Koch Minerals & Trading?
At Koch Minerals & Trading, a Data Scientist does not work in a vacuum. You are placed at the intersection of global commodity markets, industrial operations, and advanced mathematical modeling. The models and insights you generate directly impact trading strategies, risk management, supply chain logistics, and asset optimization across a massive global footprint. Whether you are forecasting market trends, optimizing logistics, or analyzing industrial data, your work has immediate financial and operational consequences.
This role is unique because of the sheer variety of data and business problems you will encounter. Koch Minerals & Trading operates as a core part of the broader Koch Industries ecosystem, meaning you may collaborate with or build solutions for key subsidiaries such as EFT Analytics (focused on industrial analytics) and INVISTA (focused on chemical intermediates and polymers). To succeed, you must be comfortable translating highly complex, unstructured market and industrial data into clear, actionable trading signals and operational efficiencies.
This is a highly visible position where success is measured by the real-world value your models generate. If you are passionate about applying cutting-edge quantitative methods to physical and financial trading markets, this role offers an unparalleled platform to see your algorithms drive multi-million dollar business decisions.
