- Data Analysis Skills: Proficiency in manipulating, analyzing, and interpreting large data sets and experience presenting the findings and recommendations.
- Programming Proficiency: Experienced programming in Python, an ideal candidate has already implemented Statistical methods like outlier validation. Experience programming efficiently to process large amounts of data, optimally using the PySpark package. Optionally, experience in SQL and working with queries.
- Communication and Collaboration: Strong communication, writing, and collaboration skills. Experience or interest in supporting cross-functional stakeholders in production deployment
- Continuous Learning: Eagerness to adopt and develop evolving technologies and tools.
Nice to Have
- Statistical Expertise: Strong statistical and logical skills, with experience in data cleaning, outlier validation, sampling, bias reduction, indirect estimation, and data aggregation techniques.
- Software Engineering Skills: Knowledge in software engineering, including experience designing and developing software
- Technology Skills: Familiarity with technology stacks for cloud computing (AzureAI, Databricks, Snowflake), experience with version control systems GitHub or Bitbucket
