Job description

We are a uniquely designed talent agency focusing on the technology sector in the Boston, MA area. Our solution is built for engineers tired of the traditional recruiting experience looking for an Agent to represent them in their current search and/or throughout their career.

They search keywords. We know key people.

Job Description

We are working with a brand new travel startup a short walk from South Station to hire a Lead Data Scientist. Founded by travel industry veterans (KAYAK) they are creating a brand new platform to simplify and improve the travel booking experience.

If you’ve traveled recently you must have noticed that regardless of the site you visit you find yourself entering the same information over and over again? This is the tedious experience most modern booking sites provide and they are going to fix it.

The Lead Data Scientist will be responsible for real world implementations of Data Mining solutions able to discover patterns in large data sets at the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, and database systems. Machine Learning methods for solutions in the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a vital aspect of their success and they need someone capable of leading this charge.

The client offers 100% paid medical and dental insurance for both individuals and families. They provide a PPO plan as well so there is no need for referrals to any specialists. They also have a 401k match, give you the ability to choose your equipment (including iPhone 6S and an Apple Watch), and an unlimited vacation policy where you are actually encouraged to get away when needed.

For Engineers interested who have no desire to commute into and out of Boston daily, we do also have an office in Westford and you will be able to work from that space 2-3 days/week.

To be considered please submit your resume and why you think you are the right person to tackle this challenge along with any other experience (Kaggle competitions, etc) you feel relevant.
