Bring your individual strengths, knowledge, and interests to bear on the problems we tackle. Propose new ideas. Pursue some of them.

Responsibilities:

• Identify high impact opportunities where a model or data-related solution can provide large leverage. Then design, build, validate, implement, monitor, and improve that data science solution.
• Identify new data sources, new technologies, new techniques, and new insights that will create value for our customers and lines of business.
• Promote best practices for model development and software design.
• Communicate and collaborate with cross-functional partners.
• Work with third-party vendor partners to evaluate data and products and integrate those that that show promise into our data science practices and platforms.
• Develop testing & control procedures to ensure execution accuracy and effective post-implementation monitoring.
• Independently complete analyses, draw conclusions, and present results to influence business & strategy decisions.
• Unlock insights from non-traditional data sources such as information from other industries, tax data, deposit data, demographic data, and digital data.

Requirements:

• Proven experience with data analysis and coding equivalent to 4+ years of experience working as a data scientist
• Applied experience with a variety of modeling techniques like regression, boosted decision trees, deep learning, NLP, and so forth
• Strong software development skills covering design, algorithms, optimization, testing, and source control
• Hands-on experience with building self-contained solutions with clear interfaces
• Demonstrable mathematical and algorithmic aptitude

• Outstanding communication skills with the comfort to interact with all levels with clarity and at an appropriate level of detail
• Ability to identify and convey the essential information in every communication
• Ability to understand the business intent behind every project and tell the story around it
• Willingness to propose and defend ideas

• Experience working in cross-functional teams across a large, multi-stakeholder organization
• Ability to work with a high degree of autonomy: can resolve or escalate issues appropriately; can fill in the gaps when requirements are incomplete
• Ability to work with teams of diverse individuals focused on several disparate projects simultaneously

• Can foresee risks and potential points of failure in a data science system and appropriately mitigate or manage them
  • Anticipate weaknesses in models, software, and systems
  • Use defensive practices to build robust products (e.g. testing, code review)
  • Minimize surface area for failure (develop around clear interfaces, use well-understood tools, minimize external dependencies)
  • Prepare for the unexpected (fail fast with clear error messages, develop failure contingency plans)
  • Understand the importance of monitoring production systems and setting up clear alert systems
• Appropriately balance the tradeoffs between the use of cutting-edge enterprise systems vs. simple and familiar tooling
