• Analyze query performance to ensure calculation efficiency.
• Write tests for the implementation of machine learning models.
• Collaborate with back-end engineers to understand the raw data being collected.
• Collaborate with front-end engineers to create data visualizations for both external and internal customers.
• Conduct ad-hoc data analysis based on requests from the Sales, CSM or Contents team.
• Present results of various data analysis.

Experience We Are Looking For

• Master's degree or above in mathematics, statistics, or computer science.
• 3+ years applied experience in business intelligence, data mining, analytics, or statistical modeling in technology or mobile industries OR 2+ years applied experience in data science in mobile market intelligence.
• Ability to write code that is ready for production (Python and Ruby preferred).
• Experience with adjusting data for bias.
• Substantial experience with databases, querying data, and data structure manipulation.
• Ability to communicate effectively with technical developers and non-technical marketing business partners.
• Ability to produce rough timelines for deliveries plus solid understanding of steps necessary to complete a project.
• Ability to come up with a rough project structure from scratch.
• Ability to critically analyse given data, ask probing questions, and perform own research.
• Substantial knowledge of statistical modeling techniques.
• Mastery of one or more statistical visualization or graphing toolkits such as Excel, Jupyter Notebooks, or Google Spreadsheets.
