The Role
As a Data Scientist on the Veeva Data Cloud team, you will own the design of data science features that power Veeva’s Patient, Prescriber, and Projected Data Products.
You are excited about statistics and data science at scale on big data and taking billions of records to build algorithms in a computationally efficient and statistically effective manner while being able to keep the business problems we are working to solve in mind. You’ll work closely with Product Managers, Data Analysts, and Engineering teams to design and deliver features, including performance measurement, anomaly detection, and quality monitoring.
This is a great opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation and help us solve some of the most challenging problems in healthcare data and analytics.
What You’ll Do
- Apply statistical, machine learning, and data mining techniques to large health data sets to build new products and methodologies
- Collaborate closely with a team of Data Scientists, Product Managers, Software Engineers, and Data Engineers to discover and deliver product offerings from prototype to scale, then iterate and enhance
- Explore and find meaning in high volumes of data, identify signals and patterns to identify relationships to infer the universe from imperfect data. Important skills include querying, data cleansing, experiment design, solution assessment, identifying scaling challenges.
- Rapidly build prototype product solutions, communicate findings, and iterate
- Draw from prior experience and technical expertise to identify product improvements and inform testing plans; break overall objectives down into underlying problems that can be prioritized and solved
Requirements
- 3+ years of hands-on data science and statistics experience, demonstrating increasing responsibility and impact over time, including experience as the point person projects
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Applied Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Machine Learning or another quantitative discipline
- Highly proficient in Python (packages: scikit-learn, pandas, TensorFlow, statsmodels) and SQL; experience working with AWS preferred
- Experience working with large quantities of data to develop models that work in a stable, production approach with live data
- Advanced knowledge of statistical analysis and data mining techniques (regression, semi-supervised learning, forecasting, decision trees, clustering, A/B testing, etc.)
- Experience working with engineering to productionalize models including scaling, monitoring, and documentation
- Comfortable (and excited!) about ambiguity and breaking goals down into tangible and actionable work plans
- Strong communication skills and ability to work across internal teams
Nice to Have
