Data Scientist

Join us to do the best work of your life. 

At frog we are united by our shared passion for outcomes that transform the human experience. We accomplish these outcomes by taking on complex challenges, big asks, and things that have never been done before. We look beyond point solutions and apply design to the creation of new strategies, systems, and—in some cases—entirely new businesses. We know that takes all types of people. We believe that diverse backgrounds and experiences creates a stronger frog.

Our work is transformational because our people are extraordinary. frogs are analytical and artistic, conservative and unconventional, technical and whimsical. We look for hybrid talents and build teams around divergent expertise, which allows us to solve problems and uncover opportunities in unique ways. frogs are some of the best talent in the world, and together we advance the human experience through design.  

The Position:

The Data Scientist is a multi-disciplinary specialist. The scientist has rich experience with algorithmic development, statistical analysis, machine learning and some experience with database architecture. The role is part scientist, part strategist, part engineer and part designer. The scientist is a hands-on consultant, and an organizer of experiments, proofs, simulations and models that bridge the gap between creative design and empirical data. The scientist leads efforts to identify and analyze current models, patterns and trends within our client’s data. They perform in-depth investigation and experimentation with emerging platforms and frameworks, and identify new opportunities and business value for data innovation and differentiation with technology enablers like machine learning, applied AI and statistical analysis. You provide relevant subject matter expertise across domains in the form of algorithm development, system best practices, and data integration support to help ensure the client’s system successfully realizes their vision.

You Are:  

Someone who is driven, curious, and dedicated. You’re looking for a company where you can seize the opportunity to pursue your interests across functions and geographies.
