Job Description
Zendesk is looking for a Data Scientist to join Enterprise Data & Analytics.
In the Decision Science group, you will be a member of a small but mighty team tasked with the most complicated and exciting problems facing the business.

Balance art and science: outstanding analysis as well as beautifully simple visualizations
Have mastered sql and can navigate wide variety of data sets and tools
Have an in-depth understanding of Python. Familiarity with software development standards, processes, and tooling, such as unit testing, git, and Docker. Experience building data pipelines a plus
