Data Scientist

The Data Scientist’s role is to harness vast amounts of data to develop and implement state-of-the-art machine learning models for use cases related to multiple lines of business. The data scientist will exhibit excellent knowledge of data science, data engineering, and data analysis tools and techniques, including experience working with large datasets. The data scientist will collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance our products and services, driving innovation and providing actionable intelligence to meet business goals.

What You Will Do:

• Define Problem Statements - Work closely with cross-functional teams, including analysts, product managers and domain experts to understand business requirements, formulate problem statements, and deliver relevant data science solutions.
• Machine Learning Model Development - Develop and optimize machine learning models by processing, analyzing and extracting data from varying internal and external data sources.
• Data Preprocessing – Own and manage complex ETL pipelines to clean, preprocess and transform large datasets.
• Feature Engineering - Identify and engineer relevant features to enhance model performance and accuracy.
• Model Deployment and Evaluation – Design and implement robust evaluation metrics and frameworks to assess and monitor the performance of machine learning models.
• Operational Management - Develop algorithms and predictive models to solve critical business problems. Develop tools and libraries that will help analytics team members more efficiently interface with large amounts of data. Analyze large, noisy datasets and identify meaningful patterns that provide actionable results. Understand and recommend the best technology and/or tools to execute a data science/machine learning task in development and production. Create informative visualizations that intuitively display large amounts of data and/or complex relationships. Provide and apply quality assurance best practices for data science services across the organization. Develop, implement, and maintain version control and testing processes for modifications to algorithms and data analytics.
