Junior Data Scientist

You will be responsible for developing highly scalable machine learning models, synthesize requirements from stakeholders and create a product roadmap in collaboration with data engineers, DevOps engineers, product managers, and technical partner teams. You can expect to be given ambitious but achievable technology development goals, built in short iterations with lots of experimentation.  

EXPERIENCE 

• At least 1 year of experience in the application of artificial intelligence, data mining, machine learning, or pattern recognition techniques to very large and diverse datasets. 

• Experience building and deploying machine learning solutions on Amazon Web Services (e.g. S3, EC2, EMR, Spark). 

• Expertise in R, Python, Spark and their associated machine learning libraries. 

• Expertise in SQL query writing and optimization. 

• Preferably familiar with data visualization techniques using one or more packages such Tableau or D3 visualisation. 

• Expert use of SQL, experience with non-relational databases is a plus 

• Experience in Big Data technologies (Hadoop, Spark, Hive, Drill, Impala, Elasticsearch) is a plus 

• Deep skills in machine learning/data science, experience with deep learning 

• Solid UNIX or Linux experience. 

• Knowledge of professional software engineering practices & best practices for the full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations. 

• Experience coaching junior machine learning engineers to improve their skills, and make them more effective, machine learning engineers. 

• Familiarity with the FinTech industry. 

• perform data analysis for different financial goals 

• Experience in any of the following areas is a plus: credit risk management, financial analysis, marketing, fraud detection, consumer analytic, signal processing, computer vision 

ATTRIBUTES 

• You are always looking for opportunities to test new machine learning tools and frameworks. 

• You enjoy taking products that delight their users and making them better. 

• You are obsessed with software quality, consistency, maintainability, scalability, performance, security and all the other things that make great software great.  

• You are an advocate of true scientific development methodology. 

• You are obsessed with user experience. 

• You pay excruciating attention to detail but couple that with an ability to think abstractly. 

EDUCATION
