You will also work with world-class scientists and engineers to deliver prototypes and production systems for our end users. The functional domains include: time series prediction, anomaly detection, automatic attribution, supervised and unsupervised learning, etc. This role requires the use of sophisticated distributed systems, the processing and visualization of Big Data and application of advanced statistical techniques.
