ABOUT THE DATA SCIENTIST (REMOTE/US) POSITION
Are you fascinated at the prospect of unlocking the secrets held by a data set? Are you intrigued about machine learning, and artificial intelligence advances? In an increasingly connected world, massive amounts of structured and unstructured data open new opportunities. As a data scientist, you have an innate desire to turn these complex data sets into useful information to solve challenging problems.
We have an opportunity for you to use your analytical skills to help customers, like the FDA. You'll work closely with your customer to understand their questions and needs, and then dig into their data-rich environment to find the pieces of their information puzzle. You'll write scripts, build predictive analytics, and use the right combination of tools and frameworks to turn that set of disparate data points into objective answers to help make informed decisions. You'll provide your customer with a deep understanding of their data, what it all means, and how they can use it.
WHO YOU ARE
You are inquisitive by nature, detail oriented, creative, patient, a results-focused problem solver who enjoys collaboration with your team. You use critical reasoning, are open-minded and enjoy the steps involved when confronted with a complex challenge. You enjoy making an impact and favor projects that result in measurable business outcomes over research-based projects. You have a high standard of accountability and can influence customers by creating effective presentations that communicate complex analytics to non-technical senior management and executives.

Experience in data mining, machine-learning, statistics, and algorithms.
