Job Description:
With 100s of millions of weekly data points, collected from our clients, the ways that we can generate value by creatively looking at data are vast. The Data Scientist role is an integral member of this team and you will be involved in hands-on research and development of data-driven solutions to real world problems. The work will encompass both improvements to existing products through innovative use advanced techniques as well as development of completely new offerings using Big Data tools.

At dunnhumby you won't be only a data scientist. You'll be part of a culture that welcomes participation and discussion at all levels. You'll be able to see your impact in what we deliver day-to-day to our clients.

Key Responsibilities

-Research new data modelling, machine learning and data mining techniques for application across functions such as recommender systems, optimisation, pricing , time series forecasting, uplift evaluation, AB testing, Natural Language processing, computer vision, clustering and segmentation.

-Research and evaluate new datasets (like clickstream, geo-location and market research) – undertaking data discovery and exploration to improve results.

-Leverage state-of-the-art Big Data tools (such as Hadoop, Spark, Python, R) and techniques to build innovative solutions using appropriate modelling techniques and data sets with a focus on implementation.

-Develop and embed improvements to data science processes, in particular around building, deploying and monitoring.

-Explore different ways for data visualisation with tools like d3.js or tableau.

-Look creatively at our data challenges and map out the best approaches to tackle them using the state of art machine learning.
