Cloud Data Scientist / ML engineer (AWS, remote) (вакансія неактивна)

ABOUT CLEARSCALE

ClearScale LLC (headquartered in San Francisco, California, USA) — AWS Premier Consulting Partner has been offering a full range of professional cloud computing services for over 10 years, including architecture design, DevOps automation, refactoring and cloud-native applications development, integration, migration, solving all sorts of security issues (from just a security check to preventing cyber-attacks) and 24/7 technical support using the best advanced technologies.

The list of our customers is diverse: from government companies (ClearScale is an official cloud partner of the state of California) and educational institutions (University of California, San Francisco) to well-known global brands (IBM, Samsung, GoPro, HP, Conde Nast, Carl Zeiss, etc.) The number of satisfied customers has been well over 850, some of which can be found on the company’s website in the Case Studies section.

Since the very foundation of the company, we work 100% remotely from various cities and countries. We work on a high trust basis within the company, therefore we do not monitor work being done via taking screen captures, webcams or log keyboard typing, as many other companies do. The professional standing of the engineers in our community is invaluable.

About the role

ClearScale is looking for an individual who performs a Machine Learning Developer or Data Scientist role. The successful candidate should demonstrate the ability to build, train, tune, and deploy machine learning (ML) models.

About the project

ClearScale is running various projects closely related to Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Internet Of Things.
One of the projects is aiming at creation of valuable insights and forecasts for stock market investors and traders based on companies fundamentals, contracts data, news feed sentiment. It requires strong expertize in neural networks, NLP and various ML algorithms.
Others include recommendation engines for e-commerce companies as well as for public/private educational organizations.
These projects either startups started from the scratch either bring completely new techniques to the mature businesses.

• Create data repositories for machine learning
• Identify and implement a data-ingestion solution
• Identify and implement a data-transformation solution
• Sanitize and prepare data for modeling
• Perform feature engineering (missing and unbalanced data, outliers)
• Analyze and visualize data for machine learning
• Train machine learning models
• Perform model tuning (learning rate, regularization techniques), hyperparameter optimization
• Evaluate machine learning models
• Deploy and operationalize machine learning solutions

Requirements

• Bachelor or Specialist/Masters in Computer Science, Statistics, Informatics, Information Systems or another quantitative field
