* Develop a deep understanding of the Monocl product and how the data can be improved.
* Take responsibility for quality of solutions, testing and that best practices are being used.

We have a solid and mature Big Data architecture hosted in AWS Cloud and we work in an open source environment, primarily with Java, Spark and Scala.


Who you are:

* You possess statistical competence (such as regression modelling, significance testing etc).
* You are comfortable analysing large datasets with statistical rigor using tools such as Python, R or other programming languages.

* You have the technical competence to perform advanced analytics where coding skills (such as Python or Scala), experience with analytics tools and experience performing analysis with large datasets are needed.
* You are driven to deliver actionable insight quickly rather than constructing the most technically complex models.


Bonus qualifications that makes you stand out from the rest:


* Experience of working in Agile development teams
* Experience with data collection, refining training and validation data, data augmentation, data version control and data visualisation
