Program Overview:

STEMBoard is seeking a senior data scientist with knowledge in programming for integrating complex models and using advanced software library frameworks to distribute large, clustered data sets. The data scientist will work with a team of data analysts and engineers that collect and arrange data in a form that is useful for analytics. A knowledge of machine learning is also desired to build efficient and accurate data pipelines to meet the needs for downstream users such as data scientists to create the models and analytics that produce insight.

Principal Duties and Responsibilities:

• Interpret and analyze data using mathematical and statistical techniques based on the scientific method.
• Coordinate research and analytic activities utilizing various data points (unstructured and structured) and employ programming to clean, massage, and organize the data
• Experiment against data points, provide information based on experiment results and provide previously undiscovered solutions to command data challenges.
• Coordinate with Data Engineers to build Data environments providing data identified by other data professionals
• Apply and develop scientific methodology, statistics, and algorithms to discover and frame relevant problems, hypotheses, and opportunities.
• Develop predictive and prescriptive modeling, natural language processing (NLP), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), text mining and processing, clustering, forecasting methods, and other advanced statistical techniques.
• Design and automate processes to facilitate the manipulation and analysis of data. Manage and integrate data across dissimilar data sets. Analyze large-scale structured and unstructured data.
• Use frameworks such as Spark and Hadoop to conduct large-scale data processing. Perform statistical modeling and create data visualizations using products like Tableau, Microsoft Power BI and R Shiny.
• Research, design, and implement algorithms to solve complex problems. Program using R, Python (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas) or similar analytical languages.
• Perform data engineering, data processing and modeling techniques using cloud-based data management, data science, and ML platforms such as Databricks, IBM Cloud Pak, Cloudera, and Snowflake.
• Communicate complex concepts and hypothesis to a non-technical audience through digital storytelling.
• Be capable of instructing others on the use of Data Science practices and capabilities.
