JOIN OUR TEAM

Everstream Analytics is looking for a Data Scientist to join our Data Science team. This position will be a key member of the Everstream Data Science Team. As a member of Data Science, you will join a dynamic team of people focused on our next generation product. We have an exciting opportunity to help shape how we use data to build models and generate actionable insights to give our customers a risk aware supply chain which will advance outcomes for the business and the industry. This role will partner closely with Product Development, Product Management, Risk Intelligence, and Marketing.

POSITION OVERVIEW

In this role, your focus will be to develop Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Natural Language Understanding (NLU) models, algorithms, simulations, and experiments that bridge operational needs with strategic vision. In addition, you will be responsible for identifying, collecting, and validating data sets that are both open source (via web scraping) and proprietary. You will learn current processes, build data backed solutions, automate solutions, launch your work to production, and audit implementation.  In the simplest terms, we want candidates who have experience building models to solve real industry problems that have been deployed in a real production software environment and where the model performance was really important.

Principal Accountabilities

  • Initiate the efficient implementation of methods, tools, and algorithms for preliminary data exploration, data visualization and preparation, model training, and algorithm validation and verification using a comprehensive range of software packages and programming languages
  • Identify, retrieve, manipulate, relate and/or exploit multiple structured data and unstructured data sets from various sources
  • Interpret and evaluate the results of data science community's methods and models and/or algorithms, understanding the limitation and scope of the results
