Senior Data Scientist

The Data Scientists turns data into actionable insights using tools and models from statistics, AI and Machine Learning to enable better decision making. They collaborate with stakeholders to translate a business problem to a mathematical problem that can be solved using data and analytics. They gather, analyse, combine and aggregate the data sources required to solve the problem, then develop the appropriate solution and communicate its possibilities and limitations. They are responsible for the quality of the solution, for example prediction accuracy.

The team - who are we:

We are an ambitious team with the shared passion to use data, data science (DS), machine learning (ML) and engineering excellence to make a difference for our customers.
