Job Title: Data Scientist

Job Summary: We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Data Scientist to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for analyzing complex datasets, developing predictive models, and extracting actionable insights to drive data-driven decision-making and business growth. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in statistics, machine learning, and programming, along with the ability to communicate findings effectively to stakeholders. If you’re a creative thinker with a passion for leveraging data to solve real-world problems, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities:

1. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify business problems, research questions, and opportunities for data-driven solutions.
2. Collect, clean, preprocess, and analyze large and complex datasets using statistical and machine learning techniques.
3. Develop predictive models, algorithms, and machine learning pipelines to solve business problems and optimize processes.
4. Conduct exploratory data analysis (EDA) to uncover patterns, trends, and insights from data and generate hypotheses for further investigation.
5. Design and implement experiments to test hypotheses, measure outcomes, and validate models using appropriate evaluation metrics.
6. Optimize model performance through feature engineering, hyperparameter tuning, and model selection techniques.
7. Interpret and communicate findings from data analyses and predictive models to stakeholders through reports, presentations, and visualizations.
8. Collaborate with software engineers and IT teams to deploy, integrate, and maintain data science solutions in production environments.
9. Stay updated on emerging trends, methodologies, and technologies in data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI).
10. Provide mentorship, guidance, and support to junior data scientists and analysts, sharing expertise and best practices.

Requirements:

1. Master’s or Ph.D. degree in computer science, statistics, mathematics, engineering, or a related field; relevant experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
2. Proven experience in data science roles, with a strong foundation in statistical analysis, machine learning, and predictive modeling.
3. Proficiency in programming languages used in data science and machine learning, such as Python, R, or Julia, along with libraries like NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.
4. Experience with data visualization tools and techniques, such as Matplotlib, Seaborn, ggplot2, or D3.js, to communicate insights effectively.
5. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manipulate and analyze large datasets and derive actionable insights.
6. Knowledge of database systems and query languages (e.g., SQL) for data retrieval, manipulation, and integration.
7. Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams and present complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
8. Creativity and curiosity to explore new methodologies, algorithms, and technologies in data science and machine learning.
9. Experience with cloud computing platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and big data technologies (e.g., Hadoop, Spark) is a plus.
10. High level of integrity, ethics, and professionalism, with a commitment to accuracy, quality, and continuous learning in the field of data science.
