Are you passionate about changing the world through machine learning and location intelligence? If yes, then it’s the right time to join our team because we are about to do so! With the IoT revolution and the consumerization of mapping and location data growing exponentially, location is becoming increasingly important. We want to help organizations and businesses go beyond basic visualization and analytics of massive data to extract advanced levels of intelligence, predict important events, and automate significant portions of their work through AI and machine learning.

We are looking for an entrepreneurial, collaborative person with strong hands-on experience and a solid track record in statistical analysis, machine learning, predictive analytics, software engineering, and a passion for location to assist us in building world-class predictive location analytics solutions for our customers in over 160 countries.

Responsibilities:

• Consult closely with customers to understand their needs.
• Develop and pitch data science solutions by mapping business problems to machine learning or other advanced analytics approaches.
• Build high-quality analytics systems that solve our customers' business problems using techniques from data mining, statistics, and machine learning.
• Write clean, collaborative, and version-controlled code to process big and streaming data from various sources and types.
• Perform feature engineering, model selection, and hyperparameter optimization to yield high predictive accuracy and deploy models to production in cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environments.
• Implement best practices and patterns for geospatial machine learning and develop reusable technical components for demonstrations and rapid prototyping.
• Stay up to date with the latest technology trends in machine and deep learning and incorporate them in project delivery.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience with Python in data science and deep learning.
• Experience in building and optimizing supervised and unsupervised machine learning models, including deep learning.
