Job Description:

Placed, the market leader in location-driven insights and mobile ad intelligence, is looking for a Data Scientist (NLP) to join our Inference team. You will have the opportunity to research, design, and implement (in Python) models that pull signal from a variety of data sets with varying attributes. The quality of data will vary from robust and broad to sparse and accurate. Alone these data sets have very little value, but when stitched together they act as a tuning fork that finds precision in a swarm of noise.
You'll find an exciting greenfield opportunity to apply both your professional experience and advanced education to solve complex problems in the mobile location space, working with disparate data sources to stitch together precise results that will directly benefit our customers.
As a Data Scientist at Placed, you will:

• Lead development and deployment of textual information processing algorithms
  
• Procure and integrate heterogeneous, multilingual data sets
  
• Build key metrics to measure data health and quality
  
• Manage in-house and crowd-sourced ground truth generation
  
• Develop internal tools for monitoring and investigation purposes

• Experience with large scale data processing (e.g. Hadoop and Spark) and NoSQL databases (e.g. MongoDB) a plus
  
• 3+ years in an industrial production environment a plus
