What you'll be doing:As a Lead Data Scientist within Frontier, you will lead the datascience work on project teams that are configuring our productFrontier for our customers. Each deployment of Frontier requires acomputational twin, essentially an AI-powered digital twin, to bebuilt, and it is primarily the responsibility of our datascientists to both design and then build these computational twins.Whilst doing this well is partly about building familiarity withFrontier’s development interfaces, it’s mainly about doing thingsthat are critical in any applied data science role; namely deeplyunderstanding the core customer problem in order to ensure that thetechnical solution can drive value. In terms of more technicalactivities, the build of a computational twin involves a bunch oftasks common to all data science work such as EDA, model building,and model evaluation. In terms of other activities you’ll do in therole: - You’ll be a leader within a cross-functional delivery team,working closely with engineers, designers, and commercial roles todeliver value to customers. Working closely with the leads of theseother functions you’ll ultimately be responsible for the successfuldelivery. - You will help our excellent commercial team buildstrong relationships with clients, shaping the direction of bothcurrent and future projects. - You will play an important role inthe development of other data scientists at Faculty throughactivity management and potentially line management of others.
