This role is responsible for developing industrialized optimisation and machine learning models as part of a full-stack product squad that delivers operations decision-support software
Role
The Data Scientist has full-stack accountabilities across the full value chain of building an industrialized data-science software product:
o Understanding a business problem and its component processes end to end, and identifying opportunities to make decisions more optimally leveraging decision-support tooling
o Efficiently conducting analyses and visualizations to identify valuable opportunities for decision support and to determine trade-offs between different potential feature implementations
o Prototyping advanced machine learning and optimization models to prove the value of a use case and approach (in Python)
o Delivering features to industrialize machine learning and optimization models in Python using best-practice software principles (eg, strict typing, classes, testing)
o Build automated, robust data cleaning pipelines that follow software best-practices (in Python) o Implementing integrations between the core algorithm (machine-learning or optimization) and a workflow orchestration paradigm such as Dagster
o Implementing software in a cloud-based deployment pipeline with Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) principles
o Building logging, error handling, and automated tests (eg, unit tests, regression tests) to ensure the robustness of operationally critical decision-support products o Deliver features to harden an algorithm against edge cases in the operation and in data
o Conduct analysis to quantify the adoption and value-capture from a decision- support product
o Engage with business stakeholders to collect requirements and get feedback o Contribute to conversations on feature prioritisaion and roadmap, with an understanding of the trade-off between speed vs. long-term value
o Understand and integrate the product into existing business processes, and contribute to the development and adoption of new business processes leveraging a decision-support product
o Communicate feature and modeling approach, trade-offs, and results with the internal team and business stakeholders The Data Scientist is also accountable for ways of working fit for an Agile cross-functional development squad, including:
