About this role

Hi Mike,I saw your post on Hacker News and I'd like to apply for the Software Engineer & Data Scientist role at Telescope.
I'm a Data Scientist and Data/ML Engineer based in São Paulo with 5+ years in data. A few things that map to what your tech team does:
- Decisions under uncertainty: I built and ran, solo, a real-time Bayesian forecast of the 2026 Brazilian presidential election (urna-aberta.app.br). With 1% of ballots counted it projected 51.6% (80% interval 50.8–52.4); the final result was 51.79%.
- Production tools: at Nomos I built a low-latency inference API with drift monitoring and automated retraining, and a data quality layer that cut incidents from 4 per week to zero.
- Financial data: I wrote b3quant, an open-source Python library for Brazilian stock-exchange data with options pricing (github.com/renves/b3quant).
I haven't shipped agents in production yet, but the parts that make them useful (reliable data access, APIs, monitoring, automated workflows) are what I build every day, and it's where I want to grow next.
I'm at GMT-3, so I overlap with most of the SF working day. Résumé attached. Would you be open to a short call?
Best,
Renan Alves da…
