• Build scalable, automated pipelines for data analysis, model development, validation, and deployment
• Develop advanced ML solutions including regression, clustering, simulation, neural networks, and optimization algorithms
• Partner with cross-functional teams to implement data-driven strategies and measure impact
• Validate findings against alternative approaches and key performance indicators
• Build stakeholder relationships to drive improvements and prioritize customer needs

Basic Qualifications

• 2+ years of data scientist experience
• 3+ years of data querying languages (e.g. SQL), scripting languages (e.g. Python) or statistical/mathematical software (e.g. R, SAS, Matlab, etc.) experience
• 3+ years of machine learning/statistical modeling data analysis tools and techniques, and parameters that affect their performance experience
• Master's degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM), or experience working in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM)

Preferred Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM)
• Knowledge of machine learning concepts and their application to reasoning and problem-solving
• Experience in Python, Perl, or another scripting language
• Experience in a ML or data scientist role with a large technology company
• Experience in defining and creating benchmarks for assessing GenAI model performance
• Experience working on multi-team, cross-disciplinary projects
• Experience applying quantitative analysis to solve business problems and making data-driven business decisions
• Experience effectively communicating complex concepts through written and verbal communication
