Employer: Audible, Inc. Title: Data Scientist II Location: 1 Washington Street, Newark, NJ 07102
Duties: Independently own, design, and implement scalable and reliable solutions to support or automate decision making throughout the business. Apply a range of data science techniques and tools combined with subject matter expertise to solve difficult business problems and cases in which the approach is unclear. Acquire data by building the necessary SQL/ETL queries. Import processes through various company specific interfaces for accessing RedShift, and S3/edX storage systems. Deliver artifacts on medium size projects that affect important business decisions. Build relationships with stakeholders and counterparts, and communicate model outputs, observations, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to the management to develop sustainable and consumable products and product features. Explore and analyze data by inspecting univariate distributions and multivariate interactions, constructing appropriate transformations, and tracking down the source and meaning of anomalies. Build production-ready models using statistical modeling, mathematical modeling, econometric modeling, machine learning algorithms, network modeling, social network modeling, natural language processing, large language models and/or genetic algorithms. Validate models against alternative approaches, expected and observed outcome, and other business defined key performance indicators.
