What You Will Do

As Data Scientist, you will analyze massive data sets of technical and business data, identify aspects/areas to improve, define/implement measurement metrics, build models to predict issues and optimize operational-service, and work with various stakeholders to drive gradual improvements. You will work closely with internal teams to extract/mine information from our existing systems, in order to create new analyses, build analytical products, and drive BIE-related observations/mindset to the technical domains.

You will be the expert for this new domain, defining tools, methodology, and goals.
