Responsibilities
- Design and implement key components for highly scalable, distributed data collection and analysis system built for handling petabytes of data in the cloud
- Work with technology teams from other divisions to onboard them onto the Data Platform and assist them in their journey to fully utilise the capabilities of the Data Platform
- Work with architects from other divisions contributing to this analytics system and mentor team members on best practices in backend infrastructure and distributed computing topics
- Analyse source data and data flows, working with structured and unstructured data
- Manipulate high-volume, high-dimensionality data from varying sources to highlight patterns, anomalies, relationships and trends
- Analyse and visualize diverse sources of data, interpret results in the business context and report results clearly and concisely
- Apply data mining, NLP, and machine learning (both supervised and unsupervised) to improve relevance and personalization algorithms
- Work side-by-side with product managers, software engineers, and designers in designing experiments and minimum viable products
- Build and optimize classifiers using machine learning techniques and enhance data collection procedures that is relevant for building analytic systems
- Discover data sources, get access to them, import them, clean them up, and make them "model-ready". You need to be willing and able to do your own ETL
- Create and refine features from the underlying data. You'll enjoy developing just enough subject matter expertise to have an intuition about what features might make your model perform better, and then you'll lather, rinse and repeat
- Run regular A/B tests, gather data, perform statistical analysis, draw conclusions on the impact of your optimizations and communicate results to peers and leaders
Requirements
- Experience in big data and machine learning
- The ability to work with loosely defined requirements and exercise your analytical skills to clarify questions, share your approach and build/test elegant solutions in weekly sprint/release cycles
- Strong experience in managing a mid and large-scale team (offshore and onshore)
- Development experience in Java/Scala and pride in producing clean, maintainable code
- Practical experience in clustering high dimensionality data using a variety of approaches
- Real world experience in solving business problems by deploying one or more machine learning techniques
- Experience creating pipelines to analyse data, extracted features and updated models in production
- Independence and self-reliance while being a pro-active team player with excellent communication skills
- Hands-on development with key technologies including Scala, Spark, and other relevant distributed computing languages, frameworks, and libraries
- Experience with distributed databases, such as Cassandra, and the key issues affecting their performance and reliability
- Experience using high-throughput, distributed message queueing systems such as Kafka
- Familiarity with operational technologies, including Docker (required), Chef, Puppet, ZooKeeper, Terraform, and Ansible (preferred)
- An ability to periodically deploy systems to on-prem environments.
- Mastery of key development tools such as GIT, and familiarity with collaboration tools such as Jira and Confluence or similar tools
- Experience with Teradata SQL, Exadata SQL, T-SQL
- Strong experience in graph and stream processing
