Job Description:
We're looking for someone who is passionate about data science and enjoys working in a collaborative environment. The ideal candidate must have a proven record of building innovative data-driven solutions. This role is expected to help beef up the R&D roadmap for data science at MFour. The role will be responsible for converting large amounts of raw data into measurable end-to-end analytical solutions. This position requires demonstrated expertise in stochastic models, classification, predictive models, pattern mining and anomaly detection. This role requires broad knowledge of existing algorithms with the ability to create new approaches when required. The data science team at MFour partners closely with engineering for deploying models in production. However, you are expected to write your own production code. The ideal candidate will have an advanced degree in a quantitative science field. Your responsibilities will include but not be limited to: RESPONSIBILITIES:
Additional Info:
Our mission MFour is leading the $17B market research (MR) industry’s tectonic shift to mobile. The 14-year-old firm went all-mobile in 2012 and now has the industry’s highest rated survey app and panel. MFour’s head-start on all-mobile research has given it a wide lead in technology development that gives its Surveys on the Go® app uniquely smooth functionality, while harnessing the vast information/communication capabilities of smartphones. The technology enables and goes hand-in-hand with recruiting a loyal and engaged consumer research panel that numbers more than one million active members. The combination of an advanced, standard-setting native app and a reliably responsive, demographically diverse panel drives accurate data and telling insights for MFour’s clients. They include leading brands and market research firms, as well as data providers. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS:
