Job Description
We are seeking an exceptional Data Scientist Researcher to join our advanced analytics team. This role will focus on cutting-edge machine learning techniques with particular emphasis on dimension reduction, feature selection, and signal detection. Working within our Databricks environment, you will research, develop, and implement sophisticated algorithms that extract meaningful patterns from complex, high-dimensional data. The ideal candidate combines strong theoretical knowledge with practical implementation skills to solve challenging real-world problems.
Key Responsibilities
Lead research initiatives focused on dimension reduction and feature selection methodologies
Develop novel approaches for variable importance ranking and optimal feature subset identification
Design and implement signal detection algorithms to identify patterns in noisy data
Conduct experiments to evaluate and benchmark different feature selection techniques
Create reproducible research workflows in Databricks using notebooks and ML pipelines
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate research findings into production solutions
Stay current with the latest academic research in dimension reduction and feature selection
Author technical documentation, white papers, and potentially academic publications
Mentor junior data scientists and share knowledge across the organization
Present research findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Technical Skills
Programming Languages: Python (advanced), R, SQL
ML/AI Frameworks: scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras
Big Data Technologies: Apache Spark, Databricks, Delta Lake
Dimension Reduction: PCA, t-SNE, UMAP, LDA, autoencoders
Feature Selection: Recursive feature elimination, LASSO, tree-based methods, mutual information
Signal Processing: Fourier analysis, wavelets, filtering techniques
Statistical Analysis: Hypothesis testing, experimental design, Bayesian methods
Version Control: Git, GitHub
Visualization: Matplotlib, Seaborn, Plotly
Compensation:
$60/hr to $70/hr
Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.
Benefit packages for this role will start on the 31st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401K retirement account access with employer matching. Employees in this role are also entitled to paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law.
