Job Description
We want to expand our Data Science function further within our well-established strong data-driven Centralised Analytical department. Our Data Science mission is to build machine models in the production environment relative to Marketing, Customer Insights, and Safer Gambling and establish a strong culture of data-driven decision-making in our organisation's strategy.
We are looking for a well-established Data Scientist at all levels who wants new challenges. As a Senior Data Scientist, you will work using data engineering, statistical, and ML/AI approaches to uncover data patterns and build models. We use Microsoft tech stack, including Azure Databricks (Pyspark, python), and we are expanding our data science capabilities.
To be successful in the role, you will need to have extensive experience in data science projects and have built the professional skill to understand when an approach to a project is not working, to pause and change approach.
The Data Science department is currently a smaller team, with an ambition to grow, with a mix of Data Scientists and ML engineers. Therefore, it is an excellent opportunity to grow, contribute and challenge yourself.
