Here the high level job description / desired skills and knowledge

- Spatiotemporal analysis of mobile data - The Client network generates billions of records per day from handheld devices, each one providing a data point in time and space.  Understanding the dynamics of this data through time series and spatial statistics helps Client better serve its customers, improve its network, and develop new products and services.

- Statistical computation – candidate should understand environments in developing high-performance statistical models and algorithms to leverage modern streaming and storage technologies. 

- Text mining - Client wants to be modeling free-form text from millions of customer surveys,  representative notes, and chats as one way to manage our business in real time. New methods are needed to keep up with the volume and complexity of this data.

- Data visualization - Client creates algorithms, systems, and techniques for visualizing new data sets at increasingly large scale. Client is especially interested in interactive visualization of very large geospatial and temporal data. 

- Database management and data quality – Client plans to eventually building high-performance and low latency systems to manage high velocity data streams. These systems are critical for accurate processing and analysis of data from the Client mobile network. Analyzing the data to identify glitches, and cleaning the data to minimize distortion while preserving maximal underlying variation, are essential to ensure meaningful big data analytics.

- Predictive Modeling – We estimate models to predict customer behavior and sentiment, service disruptions, and event impacts.  Models serve to both target, and to gain insight into variable relationships.  Our rich customer and network data allows analysts to positively affect business outcomes and to pursue methodological research (comparing machine learning algorithms, for example). 

Qualifications:

- Inventive Scientist candidates shall have a Degreed/Masters or equivalent in a data science field, including these most commonly:  Statistics, Computer Science, Machine Learning, Operations Research, Computer Engineering, and Mathematics. 

- Data Science candidates shall have a Degreed/Master’s or PhD in a data science field. 

- Experience and passion for finding solutions to real world, applied problems. In addition for Inventive Scientists, established excellence in applied research through publications, new research techniques, open source contributions, and patents.

- Expertise working with large industrial scale data sets, and the ability to use software to manipulate data, prototype new tools, and extract actionable insights from that data.

- Capable of presenting outcomes of analytic solutions in a format easily understood by a non-technical audience.

- Expert-level skills and abilities within field of knowledge, and demonstrated ability to develop new ideas from inception to prototype. 

- Accomplished programmer, and experience coding with other languages such as C/C++, Python, and Java. 

- Experience/understanding with modern data management systems like Hadoop, NoSQL, and Spark. 

- Experience with BI tools and development on tool like Tableau.
