Data Scientist - Slate Technologies

Position Vacant: Senior Data Scientist

Company Profile

At Slate Technologies we are bringing fresh minds and tools to the world of Smart Buildings, Smart Infrastructure, Sustainability, architecture, and construction. With a credible team from world-renowned institutions, we are leading the way in transforming the way buildings and Infrastructure come to life.

Better decisions happen in construction when you have better context, without context stakeholders are unable to see the right information, at the right time to make confident and quick decisions. That's why we created Slate, a Virtual Digital Assistant that helps you identify and evaluate information in your business so that you can make better decisions, save time and money, and improve project outcomes.

Our mission at Slate is to help improve each construction professional impact on construction productivity by revealing the timely context that helps them make earlier and better decisions. Slate’s “Digital Assistant'' uses machine learning and AI to execute multi-dimensional analysis across internal and external data sources. This includes public data such as weather, labor, and traffic with the dark data locked in silos and non-integrated systems within their own and sub-contractor organizations. Want to join us on this incredible journey?

Slate India is a fully owned subsidiary of Slate Inc, aiming to be the Technology hub in the AEC space, from 3D digital twins, building design to logistics to collaboration tools. The team based out of Bangalore works on cutting edge technologies leveraging Generative AI, BIM, big data, analytics and sophisticated real time technologies to empower path breaking solutions in this space.
