Data Scientist

Latin America

Job Description

Factored was conceived in Palo Alto, California by Andrew Ng and a team of highly experienced AI researchers, educators, and engineers to help address the significant shortage of qualified AI & Machine-Learning engineers globally. We know that exceptional technical aptitude, intelligence, communication skills, and passion are equally distributed around the world, and we are very committed to testing, vetting, and nurturing the most talented engineers for our program and on behalf of our clients.

We are currently looking for an exceptionally talented Data Scientist to join our team. You will be responsible for extracting insights from complex data sets, developing recommender systems, and applying advanced analytical techniques to drive strategic decision-making and optimize business outcomes.

Functional Responsibilities:

Designing models with a user-centric output, such as recommender systems tailored for various applications including offer design, consumer behavior prediction for purchases, and churn prediction, among other functionalities.
Conduct exploratory data analysis to uncover hidden patterns and extract valuable insights that contribute to business growth and optimization.
Utilize predictive modeling and forecasting techniques to support decision-making processes and improve operational efficiency.
Continuously monitor model performance, assess data quality, and refine models to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Stay up to date with the latest advancements in data science and technology, and identify opportunities to apply emerging methodologies to enhance existing models and processes.

Qualifications:

Strong proficiency in programming languages such as SQL, Python and experience with relevant libraries and frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn).
Deep understanding of machine learning algorithms, statistical models, and data mining techniques.
Proficient in SQL and experience working with databases and data querying.
Problem solver: proactively implements solutions to improve business
Exceptional communication skills in English (B2-C2), including the ability to convey complex technical concepts, collaborate effectively in team environments, and deliver impactful presentations to diverse audiences.

At Factored, we believe that passionate, smart people expect honesty and transparency, as well as the freedom to do the best work of their lives while learning and growing as much as possible. Great people enjoy working with other passionate, smart people, so we believe in hiring right, and are very selective about who joins our team. Once we hire you, we will invest in you and support your career and professional growth in many meaningful ways. We hire people who are supremely intelligent and talented, but we recognize that intelligence is not enough. Perhaps more importantly, we look for those who are also passionate about our mission and are honest, diligent, collaborative, kind to others, and fun to be around. Life is too short to work with people who don’t inspire you.

We are a transparent workplace, where EVERYBODY has a voice in building OUR company, and where learning and growth are available to everyone based on their merits, not just on stamps on their resume. As impressive as some of the stamps on our resumes are, we recognize that human talent and passion exist everywhere, and come from many backgrounds, so stamps matter much less than results. All of us are dedicated doers and are highly energetic, focusing vehemently on execution because we know that the best learning happens by doing. We recognize that we are creating OUR COMPANY TOGETHER, which is not only a high-performing fast-growing business but is changing the way the world perceives the quality of technical talent in Latin America. We are fueled by the great positive impact we are making in the places where we do business and are committed to accelerating careers and investing in hundreds (and hopefully thousands) of highly talented data science engineers and data analysts.

In short, our business is about people, so we hire the best people and invest as much as possible in making them fall in love with their work, their learning, and their mission. When not nerding out on data science, we love to make music together, play sports, play games, dance salsa, cook delicious food, brew the best coffee, throw the best parties, and generally have a great time with each other.
