Your bags of tricks

You must prove to us that you:

• Possess thick full scale experience, proficiency and hands-on knowledge (from ideation to designing, collecting, cleaning, analyzing, interpreting, building and deploying developing solutions) about data science and statistics tools and methods, not limited to: AI, ML, NLP/NLU, predictive methods, computer vision, fraud, speech and harms detection, wrangling, cleaning, prep, classification, regression, clustering, visualization, dimensionality reduction, querying from relational databases, just to name a few.
• Have important familiarity with, not limited: SQL, PostgreSQL, Big Data concepts, tools, and architecture, Python, MATLAB and R.
• Have dug into data spaces and data lakes matters, covering edge to cloud continuum as well as decentralization and federation solutions.
• Consider your work as a Lego brick on top of which we’ll build our future (see modular, scalable, vendor-agnostic, easy interfaceable).
• Have excellent skills in making your work lean (no-value coding is a waste), fully explainable, transparent, easy to present, either within your coding (we will always have to be able to proof why algorithms have taken a certain decision) as well as by verbal and written communication skills so to be able to explain complex technical matters in an easy way to non-technical people (grandma, grandpa, kids… Customers and investors…). Solutions will have to be built fully traceable, trackable and according to the man-in the-loop concepts.
• Needless to say, innovation run, and you continuously and proactively strive not only to stay up-to-date on new tools and features, but dream and work to “ride the wave” and be always upfront in identifying viable and fit-for-purpose solutions for your work and your Company’s strategic targets!
• Proof of completion of academy courses and/or study paths on ethic and responsible AI are highly preferred.
• Knowledge and past experiences with Blockchain and DLT related are also extremely valued.

Also:

• You can and enjoy translating ideas and strategies into a reality!

• You are an extremely curious, passionate, famelic person, always hungry to learn new things, always pushing up the bar of your comfort zone and foolish to think & act WITHOUT the box, like Steve Jobs used to say!
• You are creative, understand strategic and high-level objectives and translate them into technicalities to create products and services that meet Company’s targets while engaging, exciting Customers!
• Yet, as the perfect data scientist, you cannot not be fit with strong detailed-oriented and analytical skills to analyze information accurately and make logical, data-driven, risk-based decisions that help in reaching targets while mitigating and / or eliminating the risks.
• This also means you must possess strong problem-solving skills and attitude to proactively act to minimize and prevent errors and ability to develop bug-fixing applications to ensure the smooth conduction of tasks.
• You possess the aptitude to design, plan, develop, implement, manage and continuously improve your work and projects (lean management, CD/CI mindset).
• You must possess and prove excellent (self and team) time management, with the ability to work on multiple tasks to meet the tight deadlines typical of fast-paced Startups, while ensuring proper (quantitative and qualitative) execution of your tasks.
• You are able and willing to take real ownership and accountability (and recognition) of your work and get your hands dirty because you own it and you love it!
• You are naturally pro-active, able to work and to perform either independently as well as a key team player.
• You are a strong believer in and a continuous supporter and advocate of the Sustainable Development Goals and Ethical and Responsible Innovation. You stay constantly up to date on the “Ethics, Privacy and Security by Design” regulations, directives and recommendations by EU as well as by the most renowned international Authorities, Academies and R&D Entities.
• Last, but definitely not least: if you are NOT a strong believer in integrity, honesty, humbleness, values-based attitude… We are NOT looking for you!
• You have collected between 5 to 10 years of experience as (Ethical) Data Scientist.
• You have been exposed to translate strategies and business targets into life.
• You come with a natural and strong sense of urgency and constant care with team management skills.
• Experience in working on Sustainability related will be a huge plus for your selection.
• Professional proficiency in English is a must and to have knowledge of Italian as an added advantage: they are the two official languages of our Company!
• You come along with a strong desire to learn more about and contribute to the improvement of the Logistics, Supply Chain, Mobility and Transport domains. Furthermore, if you possess basic knowledge of it, you’ll have a great plus for us (although, no worries: reading materials and guidance will also be provided along the job!).
• The ability to work following the Europe time zone will be strongly preferred.
• You have experience and enjoy (seek for) working remotely, making full use of relevant team and knowing how to set up and work with project management tools.
