Take complex data models and turn them into compelling narratives. Lead the development of AI Agents that can surface insights to managers in real-time. Ensure the \"People Data Stack\" is secure, GDPR/privacy-compliant, and acts as a \"Single Source of Truth\" across all People related offerings, products and services.\n“Effectiveness at Work” Strategy: Identify opportunities to leverage “High Tech” solutions in our People offerings, and free up more time for “High Touch”, human involvement, thereby maximizing human value.\nWhat we are looking for in you\nBackground in data science, mathematics, or engineering, skilled in advanced statistics, data wrangling/science, databases (SQL, etc.) or software engineering.\nStrength in coding/scripting languages (Python, R, JavaScript, etc.), software engineering, visualization (e.g. Superset, Tableau), and automation.\nAbility to translate business questions to key research objectives.\nAbility to identify the best methodology to execute research, synthesize and analyze findings.\nProven ability to lead and drive others to execute against well planned roadmaps, with a strong mentor/coaching mindset. \nWillingness to examine the status quo and be resilient in the face of challenges.\nAmbition to build tomorrow's AI/Data stack in open source.\nAn exceptional academic track record from high school and university.\nBusiness level written and spoken English.\nSincere personal motivation aligned with our mission.\nInternational travel 2-4 times a year for company events up to two weeks long.\nIn addition we expect that you will match our values, by being:\nPrecise, taking care to deliver correctness and clarity.\nReliable, delivering high quality work that builds trust and confidence.\nAccessible, collaborating to build products and systems that are usable.\nAdroit, blending enthusiasm, knowledge, adaptability, style and character.\nNice-to-have skills\nExperience with dbt (Data Build Tool), Airbyte, Ranger, Superset, Temporal, or Trino\nBasic understanding of containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes\nAgentic Engineering\nProduct management\nUser experience and design\nWhat we offer colleagues\nWe consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide.
