Data Scientist

The Opportunity

This is an exciting time at Enigma. We’re on the cusp of releasing our next generation of small business intelligence products built on years of learnings in the space. We are seeking an  experienced Data Scientist to join our Entity Resolution team and help shape the trajectory of these products. Your work will directly impact the accuracy, scalability, and predictive capabilities of our data platform, influencing key business decisions for our customers.

The Role

Data is at the core of Enigma’s product, which makes data science the beating heart of what we ship.  As a Data Scientist on the Entity Resolution Team, you will work in a cross-functional team alongside other data scientists, engineers, and business stakeholders. You will own problems end to end–from raw source data, through models and scalable pipelines, to the customer interface. Your impact will be measured by the contributions you make with your team to improve the accuracy of our data and the value of our product to our customers.

What You’ll Do

• Translate customer goals into working solutions, using large-scale data transformation, sound statistics, and high-quality code. Most of our work is in Databricks (both Spark SQL + PySpark), supported by statistical tooling, and by ML/AI where the problem calls for it.
• Set a high standard for rigorous analysis and model development, grounded in sound statistical practice, so that results are high-quality and reproducible.
• Treat data as a reflection of the real world, and develop repeatable strategies for validating results against ground truth.
• Develop techniques to detect gaps in our data, find the source, and close them in a way that improves the product.
• Apply a data-focused, first-principles approach to problem solving. We value people who bias toward simple and elegant solutions, but who can implement state-of-the-art models and techniques when the problem requires it

What Makes This Role Exciting?

• Technical challenge: Enigma is solving some of the hardest problems in the world related to entity resolution. You will be critical to our success.
• Ownership and Impact: Data science at many companies supports product and business decisions.  At Enigma, data science is the product. You will work directly with customers and internal teams in an environment of high trust and responsibility.
• Learning: We’re tackling problems with exciting data that don’t have obvious solutions. Every day brings new opportunities to learn about data science and our world.
