As a digital business transformation partner of choice, we’ve spent nearly three decades utilizing the disruptive power of technology and ingenuity to help digitally enable our clients' business in their pursuit of next. We bring a startup mindset and agile methods to both established companies and the public sector to unlock value in ways that delight their customers and improve their operational effectiveness. Our approach to transformation is grounded in a view of both the company and the customers simultaneously, and a unique fusing of strategy and consulting, experience, and engineering with an enduring culture of problem-solving creativity.

As a Data Scientist on the Marcel team you will work closely with the Data, Product, Marketing, Experience, Development and Services teams. You will bring your expertise to the forefront as you work with product teams to introduce personalization models and provide actionable insights to influence the product direction. Day-to-day you will be working on hands on as part of feature development and refinement, to implement both knowledge mining algorithms and complex ML/AI models, to deliver and measure value.

You are a specialist, mentor and advocate. You have strong machine learning and deep learning background and are passionate about transforming data into ML models. You welcome the challenge of data science and are proficient in Python, Spark MLLib, Tensorflow, Keras, ML algorithms and Deep Neural Networks, Big Data.
You must be self-driven, take initiative and want to work in a dynamic, busy and innovative group. You will work with a distributed team (onshore and offshore) and work closely with a broadly talented team of delivery management, data/business analysts, visual designers, analytics, developers, and QA.
