Data Scientist

Headquartered in New York City, Dataiku was founded in Paris in 2013 and achieved unicorn status in 2019. Now, more than 900 employees work across the globe in our offices and remotely. Backed by a renowned set of investors and partners including CapitalG, Tiger Global, and ICONIQ Growth, we’ve set out to build the future of AI. 
Dataiku’s promise to our customers is to provide them with the software and support needed to accelerate their data science and machine learning maturity. Dataiku’s Data Science team is responsible for delivering on that promise. Internally, we call the team the DataFab — ask us about it!
The role of a Data Scientist at Dataiku is quite unique; our Data Scientists not only code up solutions to real-world problems, but also participate in client-facing endeavors throughout the customer journey: supporting their discovery of the platform, helping integrate DSS with other tools and technologies, training users, and co-developing data science projects from design to deployment.
Just as the non-technical skills are important, so too are the technical. Our Data Scientists work in the DSS platform every day. Aside from the visual tools of DSS, our team uses mostly python, with occasional work in other languages (e.g., R, SQL, pyspark, JavaScript, etc.). An ideal candidate is comfortable learning complex new technologies and modeling techniques while being able to explain their work to other data scientists and clients.

• Help users discover and master the Dataiku platform, DSS, via user trainings, office hours, and ongoing consultative support
• Provide data science expertise to customers and internally to Dataiku’s sales, marketing teams
• Develop custom python or R-based “plugins” in collaboration with R&D and product teams, to enhance DSS’s functionality

You may be a good fit for the role if you have:

• Curiosity and a desire to learn new topics and skills
• Empathy for others and an eagerness to share your knowledge and expertise with your colleagues, Dataiku’s customers, and the general public
• The ability to clearly explain complex topics to technical as well as non-technical audiences
• 1-3 years of experience with python or R
• 1-3 years of experience with machine learning
• Familiarity with data visualization in python, R, and/or JavaScript
