Data Scientist

Key Skills

.NET, C# Programming, C++, Java Programming, Linux Operating system, Python Programming, REST API, Ruby on Rails, SoapUI

Job Description

Develop machine learning, data mining, statistical and graph-based algorithms to analyze and make sense of datasets. Prototype or consider several algorithms and decide upon final model based on suitable performance metrics. Build models or develop experiments to generate data when training or example datasets are unavailable. Generate reports and visualizations that summarize datasets and provide data-driven insights to customers. Partner with subject matter experts to translate manual data analysis into automated analytics. Implement prototype algorithms within production frameworks for integration into analyst workflows.

Experience with software development, either an open-source enterprise software development stack (Java/Linux/Ruby/Python) or a Windows development stack (.NET, C#, C++). Experience with data transport and transformation APIs and technologies such as JSON, XML, XSLT, JDBC, SOAP and REST. Experience with Cloud-based data analysis. Experience with visual analytic tools and experience with entity extraction and machine learning, algorithm analysis, and data clustering.
