• Utilize statistical analysis techniques and data visualization to generate actionable insights and reports on infrastructure costs, trends, resource usage, and cost-saving initiatives.
• Build processes and solutions to improve the quality, rigor and agility of analyses.
• Build a roster of high-impact analytical opportunities and engage with your team to deliver high-quality analyses to steer and drive action.

What we’re looking for:

• 10+ years of industry experience with proven ability to apply scientific methods to solve real-world problems on web-scale data.
• 3+ years experience managing, mentoring and up-leveling other data scientists.
• Infrastructure experience and working knowledge of a major public cloud environment (e.g., AWS) or large private cloud preferred.
• Demonstrated execution and impact on cross-functional initiatives, strong communication skills, and a track record of influencing leaders and peers using data.
