About the role
The Data Scientist employs big data technologies and analytics techniques to process and analyze large amounts of data to derive insights and predictions that help improve business decisions. In order to do this, the Data Scientist must be able to organize data, cleanse and normalize raw data, process data for statistical modeling using computers, and identify relationships and trends in data. The Data Scientist must demonstrate strong programming skills and be able to develop, test, and deploy solutions that address different business problems. The Data Scientist must also have a strong educational foundation in data analytics, statistical modeling, advanced machine learning, artificial intelligence, database technology, computer programming, and software engineering. The Data Scientist must be able to think analytically, and must be detail oriented. Also, the Data Scientist should be able to effectively communicate with supervisors and business leaders who may not have strong data analytics or statistical background. The Data Scientist will usually work independently with guidance provided by the senior team members.
