Senior Data Scientist

Logispin is looking for a passionate Data Scientist to join its team based in Lecce, Italy. The ideal candidate will join a rapidly growing team of data scientists applying machine learning algorithms to our big data pipelines, which handle thousands of data events every minute. With an emphasis on scalability, Logispin's data science team implements ML models trained on big data and provide predicted values to internal teams and external clients.

• Contribute new ML models to a REST API that provides on-demand predictions.
• Maintain and improve existing ML models and pipelines.
• Communicate with stakeholders from technical and non-technical areas.
• Delegate tasks, guide and provide support to less experienced data scientists in order to realise the successful completion of collaborative projects.
• Evaluate machine learning models with mathematical rigour translated to examples of real business cases.
