We're looking for a Senior Data Scientist
- You will help us lay the foundation of our data science team. What machine learning algorithms should we be using? How should we train our models?
- You will work with a team of engineers focused on our data pipeline to organize our data and make it actionable.
- You will use Python, Jupyter, and a variety of database systems on a day-to-day basis and work with our engineers to build real-time APIs that work with your findings.
Your background
- You are a builder. You’ve done this kind of thing before, and you’re looking for the right opportunity to put your stamp on something and watch it grow.
- You have a proven background in machine learning, natural language processing, and recommendation systems--specifically with the use of collaborative filtering.
- You have proven experience in building your own tools and systems in Python and similar languages in the data sphere (R, Julia, etc.).
We’d love to have you aboard
The team members we’re looking to hire will work out of our office at 203 N La Salle, located in the beautiful city of Chicago. We offer health, dental, and vision insurance benefits, commuter benefits, 401(k), casual dress, catered lunch (Monday - Thursday) and cold brew coffee on tap.
What We Value
We’re revolutionizing tech recruitment. So we question everything, because the best answers sit just to the right of a question mark. That’s our heritage as a disruptive company — as a company whose future depends on our capacity to innovate with a sense of drive, purpose and urgency. If you join Built In, you will work from this set of values:
- Be Unreasonably Passionate. Our passion is borderline obsessive, and we’re ok with that. No one ever built anything great on a “meh.” We work with outsized passion to fulfill our mission.
Be Humble. You don’t have all the answers. Luckily, you don’t have to. Don’t worry about being right. Be humble instead.
Stay Curious. Curiosity is a springboard to the future. It can transform the wisp of an idea into a breakthrough. We ask “what if.” We work with wonder. It’s how we innovate.
Lead with Solutions. Question everything. But offer solutions as you do. Raise issues. But propose a few answers. For every hole you poke, offer a way to patch it up.
Own the Result. We have no time for blame or shame. When you stumble, own it, learn from it + get back to business.
Do More. Do more than your job description. Take initiative. Take charge. No job is beneath you, and no job is too big. Be a leader and do more — do whatever it takes.
