Data Scientist

Contract: 12 Months+

The main function of the Data Scientist is to produce innovative solutions driven by exploratory data analysis from complex and high-dimensional datasets.

Job Responsibilities:

• Apply knowledge of statistics, machine learning, programming, data modeling, simulation, and advanced mathematics to recognize patterns, identify opportunities, pose business questions, and make valuable discoveries leading to prototype development and product improvement.
• Use a flexible, analytical approach to design, develop, and evaluate predictive models and advanced algorithms that lead to optimal value extraction from the data.
• Generate and test hypotheses and analyze and interpret the results of product experiments.
• Work with product engineers to translate prototypes into new products, services, and features and provide guidelines for large-scale implementation.
• Provide Business Intelligence (BI) and data visualization support, which includes, but limited to support for the online customer service dashboards and other ad-hoc requests requiring data analysis and visual support.

Skills:

• Experienced in either programming languages such as Python and SQL, big data tools such as Hadoop, or data visualization tools such as Tableau.

• Analysis - not building but working with data in storage and collecting new data- then communicating what they have found
• Wanting Data Engineer and Data Scientist combination
• Willing to bring insights and analysis.
• strong communication skills required for this role.

Top 3 must-have HARD skills:

Python

SQL - able to work in similar setting

strong XFN communication skills

Good to have skills:

30% of work is better for a data engineer- work will be a mixture of DE and DS

worked with Avatars, digital human.

Compelling Story & Candidate Value Proposition:

Avatars are brand new technology, the idea is to work with headsets- video conference- people will look 3D

Opportunity to work with top research scientist and engineers, mentors and learning
