Job Description:
This position requires in-scope poly, within 7 years. -
Programming Languages: Proficiency in programming languages such as
Python and R is crucial for data manipulation, analysis, and
implementing algorithms. Python is favored for its simplicity and
extensive libraries (like NumPy and pandas), while R is preferred
for statistical analysis and data visualization. - Statistical
Analysis: A strong foundation in statistics and probability is
necessary for analyzing data accurately and making informed
decisions. Understanding concepts like regression analysis,
hypothesis testing, and statistical distributions is essential. -
Machine Learning: Knowledge of machine learning algorithms and
frameworks (such as TensorFlow and Scikit-Learn) is vital for
building predictive models and automating decision-making
processes. - Data Wrangling: The ability to clean and organize
complex datasets is critical. Data wrangling involves transforming
raw data into a usable format, which is often time-consuming but

and Matplotlib) help communicate findings effectively. Creating
charts, graphs, and dashboards is crucial for making data
understandable to stakeholders. Bachelor's degree from an
accredited college or university in a quantitative discipline
(e.g., statistics, mathematics, operations research, engineering or
computer science). Five (5) years of experience analyzing datasets
and developing analytics, five (5) years of experience programming
with data analysis software such as R, Python, SAS, or MATLAB. An
additional four (4) years of experience in software development,
cloud development, analyzing datasets, or developing descriptive,
