We are looking for an experienced Data Scientist who would be excited to work on a novel project delivering actionable insights from zero/first-party consumer data.

The ideal candidate would be involved in developing novel computational pipelines (using open-source programming environments), permitting Vault to determine the quality and veracity of its data repositories. This framework would provide an essential foundation for developing novel machine-learning algorithms, allowing Vault to gain rapid and informative insights into consumer behaviour.

Job Description

Vault Data is seeking to recruit a candidate for the role of Data Scientist with immediate effect. The individual must have direct project experience in either an industrial or academic setting. We will consider candidates educated to either BSc or MSc level depending upon their combined knowledge and experience.

A major objective for this pivotal position will be the development of quality control pipelines using objective statistical reporting metrics that can be applied towards the analysis of structured (in the first instance), semi-structured and unstructured data sources. The goal will be to integrate these statistical measurements into an overall quality assurance program that can be used to concisely report the company’s performance to both technical and non-technical personnel.

Vault requires that the Data Scientist is a team player, given that the candidate will be expected to work closely with a variety of specialities, including Cloud Engineers and machine learning/AI architects. Given the sensitivity of the personal data that will be collected and processed by the candidate, all activities pipelines must be integrated into an overall quality assurance programme (e.g. ISO27001).
