A software team will partner with you to transform prototypes into production. \n- Take the lead on large projects that require both business and technical domain expertise, delivering significant benefit to the business. \n- Influence multiple teams and build consensus across business, science, and engineering stakeholders; advise senior managers and directors on data-driven security decisions.\n- Mentor and develop other scientists; perform data science technical assessments and participate in science and data-engineering code reviews. \n- Create, enhance, and maintain technical documentation, and present findings to other scientists and business leaders, keeping teams current on relevant scientific advancements.\nBasic qualifications\n- 5+ years of data querying languages (e.g. SQL), scripting languages (e.g. Python) or statistical/mathematical software (e.g. R, SAS, Matlab, etc.) experience\n- 4+ years of data scientist experience\n- Experience with statistical models e.g. multinomial logistic regression\nPreferred qualifications\n- 2+ years of data visualization using AWS QuickSight, Tableau, R Shiny, etc. experience\n- Experience managing data pipelines\n- Experience as a leader and mentor on a data science team\nAmazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status.\nOur inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers.
