Summary:

Davenport & Patil have written in the Harvard Business Review article entitled “Data Scientist:  The Sexiest Job of the 21st Century” that the role requires “a high-ranking professional with the training and curiosity to make discoveries in the world of big data.”

Pure Storage is looking for an experienced computer/data scientist with a strong programming background coupled with excellent analytical and communication skills to join us in building up a big data analytics practice.  Our charter is to partner with IT to create a marketing data warehouse on Pure Storage technology that enables the ingestion and blending of many disparate sources (both structured and unstructured) for predictive analytics and operational reporting.  This will be the platform for next-gen marketing decision support focusing on: the use of statistical techniques for new customer acquisition, propensity-to-buy prediction for program targeting, rules for cross/up-sell, segmentation/classification, real-time analytics and media mix optimization. 

 

What You Will Be Doing

The Data Scientist/Programmer & Modeler will join a growing data science community in Pure Storage and report directly to the Senior Director, Data Science as part of the marketing group. The data scientist will blend both structured and unstructured data and team with statisticians to use the latest datamining and data visualization techniques to craft actionable models and insight in order to provide a sustainable competitive advantage for Pure Storage.

The candidate must have a formal education in an area related to computer science, and be exceptionally interested in lifelong learning to keep pace with the latest techniques and technology related to big data analytics, while having the skill to manipulate large, disparate datasets from a wide range of sources.

The ability to identify, synthesize and communicate technical and analytical findings and business recommendations to a non-technical audience is critical.

 

What You Bring To The Team
