The Data Science group’s vision at GitHub is to supercharge our platform and services by leveraging our data in order to improve the software engineering workflow. We seek to enable more people to engage in the creation, collaboration and consumption of code while having an active hand in the participation of the future development of the software supply chain. To that end, we both produce features powered by data science/machine learning techniques, as well as build products to enable data/data science collaboration.

The Data Science Foundation team’s role in this overarching vision is to empower scientists and engineers to collaborate on novel and creative data products by bringing data science / machine learning workflows into parity with modern software development and infrastructure management. Pragmatically, this looks like serving internal and external data scientists and researchers with improved workflows - building actions to automate pipelines, improving notebook collaboration, and leading the vision for what data collaboration products will look like on the GitHub platform.

Given the broad scope of how Data Science at GitHub interacts with both our platform and business, the leader we're searching for must be able to review, assess and help articulate fit-for-purpose products, services, and infrastructure in what is a very fast moving field, while simultaneously helping to guide and mentor the team using a well reasoned and pragmatic approach to data science collaboration product creation and delivery.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain scalable internal and external data science collaboration services
• Build products, tools, and systems that empathetically and pragmatically meet real collaboration needs of GitHub users, with an emphasis on Data Scientists and Researchers
• Drive infrastructure requirements to support data science collaboration products
• Use data to understand the availability, reliability, and sustainability of our product, services and infrastructure
• Cultivate the open source projects developed & contributed to by GitHub and build things you are proud to share
• Work closely with other teams from across the organization

Minimum Qualifications:

• Excitement about building, operating and maintaining resilient, scalable services
• Demonstrated understanding of container networking and security
• Exposure (either directly or through team) to Data Science and Machine Learning workflows
• A track record of developing and managing a network of cross functional partnerships across engineering and product organizations
• Strong written and verbal communication skills that crystallize and distill complex topics into action

Preferred Qualifications:

• Professional data science ecosystem experience
• Deep expertise in data science (inclusive of Machine & Deep Learning) theory, methods and their practical application
• Experience building highly available services at scale
• Experience with Kubernetes or other container orchestration systems
• Experience with Azure and Azure Machine Learning products
• Technical writing skills
• History of success in a remote work environment
• A passion for GitHub's brand, platform and product and a desire to improve it via novel data science products
