Senior Data Scientist

You

You are *not* a traditional data scientist. You sleep, eat, and breath Excel and R, but are tired of working task lists in a slow-moving corporation. You enjoy the process of discovering new data challenges, and want the freedom to create meaningful solutions in real-time. You are constantly learning, teaching yourself new disciplines, and you are obsessed with the potential uses of neural networks, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. You want the autonomy and responsibility that comes with being the company’s go-to resource for all-things data.

In this role, you will translate complex business challenges into data tasks – our managers and clients know what’s wrong, and it is up to you to investigate in the data, determine the cause, and devise an elegant solution. You will continually refine your models to learn from increasing amounts of available information. You will decide what data points should be silently corrected, vs. highlighted with intuitive suggestions. This suggestion engine will be the foundation of the company’s core product.

As the quality of data improve, your role will increasingly shift towards predictive analytics – using platform data to drive the high-level business strategies of our clients.
