Position: Senior Data Scientist
Job Location: 702 SW 8th Street, Bentonville, AR 72716
Duties: Develop custom data models to drive innovative business solutions. Build complex data sets from multiple data sources, both internally and externally. Conduct advanced statistical analysis to determine trends and significant data relationships. Build learning systems to analyze and filter continuous data flows and offline data analysis. Train algorithms to apply models to new data sets. Validate models and algorithmic techniques. Scale new algorithms to large data sets. Combine data features to determine search models. Research new techniques and best practices within the industry. Utilize system tools including (MySQL, Hadoop, Weka, R, MATLAB, ILog). Responsible for analyzing large data sets to develop custom models and algorithms to drive business solutions. Work on project teams in order to provide analytical support to projects (for example, email targeting, business optimization, consumer recommendations) for Walmart eCommerce. Responsible for building large data sets from multiple sources in order to build algorithms for predicting future data characteristics. Those algorithms will be tested, validated, and applied to large data sets. Responsible for training the algorithms so they can be applied to future data sets and provide the appropriate search results. Responsible for researching new trends in the industry and utilizing up-to-date technology (for example, HBase, MapReduce, LAPack, Gurobi) and analytical skills to support their assigned project. Work with cross-functional partners across the business.
