Data Scientist

 The role 

The main purpose of the role is to analyse and interpret large amounts of data from a range of sources, using algorithmic, data mining, artificial intelligence, machine learning and statistical tools, in order to make it accessible to our clients. Working in a global setup, your primary focus will be to apply data mining techniques, doing statistical analysis and building high quality prediction systems integrated with our clients’ application suite. 

As a Data Scientist, you will have to identify valuable data sources and automate collection processes, undertake preprocessing of structured and unstructured data, analyse large amounts of information to discover trends and patterns and build predictive models and machine-learning algorithms. You will work closely with our clients’ technical teams and our internal engineering teams to present information using data visualisation techniques and propose solutions and strategies to business challenges. 

 The successful Data Scientist will need to have highly analytical skills with a knack for analysis, math and statistic. Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are essential for this role. You will be the focal point for any Data Science related issues, therefore you will need to have an appetite for data science, machine learning and predictive modelling.
