As a Data Visualization/HCI Scientist in our Decision Sciences Visualization team, you will create innovative visual analytics systems that reveal, explore and explain complex patterns and phenomena from Epsilon’s peta-scale and massively-dimensional digital marketing ecosystem.  You will reduce this complexity into sophisticated, interactive visual metaphors and stories that demonstrate the business value of Epsilon’s platform directly to our stakeholders and global customers (which includes some of the world’s largest brands). Our visualization challenges span hundreds of millions of highly detailed individual profiles across hundreds of millions of web sites and apps tied together by sophisticated real-time analytics that make near instantaneous decisions on messaging to those profiles trillions of times a day. This provides an incredibly rich environment of business questions and answers that are hidden within petabytes of data. 

You will be a key member of a highly talented and multi-disciplinary R&D team creating a full-stack visual analytics system that connects to big data platforms and machine learning systems to present complex enterprise-critical information in an engaging, intuitive and informative manner. This is a multi-faceted team effort involving an array of technologies such as D3.js, React, Python, Spark, SQL, Hadoop, Elastic Search, GPU clusters and more.  As a Visualization/HCI Scientist on this team we are looking for strong candidates with extensive experience in building interactive full-stack systems with sophisticated analytical and visual front ends.  You must have a passion for communication through elegant visual interfaces, and the hands-on knowledge to build that vision into reality.

Our team is highly agile and innovative.  In the last year+ we have moved from whiteboard to a robust production system that is widely used throughout the organization.  The team is strongly supported throughout the Epsilon organization and at the highest levels to continue with that innovation.  This is a golden opportunity to contribute to research-grade innovation with high impact in the real world.
