Responsibilities The Sr. Design Technologist is an exciting new role aimed at speeding up data science innovation. This person will partner with data scientists to help them translate their results into a data visualization or UI that business stakeholders and analysts will then use. Example projects might include Tableau dashboards for a newly developed metric, interactive visualization of merchandise clusters in D3, or a Javascript-based UI for interacting with a new predictive model. The aim of most projects will be to gain user adoption, begin influencing key business decisions, and then 'graduate' the code to an engineering team to be further built out. The successful applicant will have super strong design sensibilities and be excited about the field of data science. Must Haves Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field; Advanced Degree preferred. Experience with data visualization technologies, including Tableau and D3. Broad knowledge of data visualization approaches. Portfolio of work that demonstrates detailed attention to organization of information, typography, and color. Experience creating UI mocks and doing rapid full-stack prototyping of those mocks. Experience coding UIs in JavaScript. Ideally you know AngularJS. Follower of the data visualization community (e.g. Eyeo conference). Willingness to become a participant in that community if not already. Strong interest in learning more about data science and machine learning. Willingness to pitch in on any design or UX activity that might pop up. Skill Set
