Job Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or data-focused engineering roles.
- Strong proficiency in Python and common data-analysis libraries.
- Demonstrated experience transforming imperfect or unstructured data into reliable, usable datasets.
- Prior experience setting data standards, documentation practices, and quality-control processes.
- Experience managing or mentoring distributed or offshore technical teams.
- Comfort operating in early-stage or ambiguous environments with limited upfront specification.
Benefits
- Foundational responsibility: You will shape the data practices that future development depends on.
- Growth opportunity: The role is expected to expand as the initiative progresses into a full build phase.
