The Data Scientist I plays a pivotal role, focused on supporting data science innovation within Dataworks, helping to define and build the Dataworks organization, and supporting more senior data scientists in the delivery of key business initiatives.
S/he acts as a “universal translator” between IT, business, software engineers and data engineers, collaborating with these multi-disciplinary teams.
The Data Scientist I will contribute to the adherence of technical standards for data science and machine learning, including the design and construction of reusable data assets.
S/he will learn to work with large data sets and solve difficult analytical problems, often applying advanced methods.
S/he will support the creation and implementation of solutions from concept to production, using current and emerging technologies to evaluate trends and develop actionable insights and recommendations.
Day-to-day, s/he will be involved in code development and the support of small-scale deployments.
Understanding at a high-level both the business and technical problems Dataworks aims to solve
Exploring data and crafting models to answer core business problems that may not have a common blueprint
Supporting the invention of new approaches and algorithms for tackling data intensive problems
Helping the team scale up from “laptop-scale” to “cluster scale” problems by contributing to efforts to standardize and industrialize solutions
Delivering tangible value rapidly, collaborating with diverse teams of varying backgrounds and disciplines
Interacting with peer technologists from the broader enterprise and outside of FedEx (partner ecosystems and customers) to create synergies and identify opportunities for improvement
Following best practices for future reuse in the form of accessible, reusable patterns, templates, and code bases
