Data Scientist

As an Data Scientist, you will play a key role in developing end-to-end solutions for AI use cases. By taking up a use case right from the start you will help business define and scope the problem, pick the right ML solution and technology as well as ensure implementation, integration and deployment of your solution to production. You will do so while ensuring that our internal governance processes and best practices are respected. You will also collaborate with other team members in knowledge sharing as well as continuously improving our way of working.
