- Perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) to uncover trends and patterns
- Build data exploration tools and dashboards for technical stakeholders
- Develop, deploy and monitor machine learning models in production environments
- Design and implement data quality checks and monitoring systems
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to address business problems with data-driven solutions
- Effectively communicate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating complex data concepts into understandable insights and recommendations
- Work collaboratively with the Data Science team on technical design and architectural decisions while engaging directly with users to understand needs and iterate on solutions
- Take ownership of code and algorithms, ensuring thorough documentation and knowledge sharing to eliminate single points of ownership
- Conduct code reviews to maintain code quality, share knowledge, and uphold data science standards across the team
- Identify opportunities to eliminate manual workflows through automation and improved tooling
- Write clean, well-tested, production-ready code with comprehensive documentation following engineering best practices
Minimum Qualifications:
- Master's degree in a related field (Data Science, Mathematics, Computer Science) or equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years of professional Data Science experience building and maintaining production-grade machine learning models, data pipelines, dashboards, and analytical tools
- Proficiency in a statistical programming language (e.g., Python) with demonstrated ability to write clean, maintainable code
- Experience with data manipulation libraries (e.g., Pandas, NumPy)
- Proficiency in SQL and other database systems for data extraction and aggregation
- Experience with machine learning frameworks (e.g., Scikit-Learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch)
- Knowledge of ETL/ELT processes, data pipeline design, and data modeling best practices
- Experience with version control systems (Git), automated testing, and CI/CD practices
- Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, or Azure) and their data services
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with ability to present findings to non-technical stakeholders and collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams
- A strong desire to learn and adapt in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
Above and Beyond Qualifications:
- Experience in aviation, aerospace, engineering, or manufacturing, with contextual domain knowledge related to the components of BETA Technologies
- Experience with data pipeline orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow)
- Experience with dashboard and visualization tools (e.g., Grafana, Tableau, PowerBI)
- Experience with DBT Core to build, test, and maintain data models
- Familiarity with large-scale data processing tools (e.g., Spark, Hadoop)
- Experience with knowledge graphs and graph databases (e.g., Neo4j, Amazon Neptune)
- Familiarity with containerization technologies (Docker)
- Experience deploying and using monitoring and alerting tools (e.g., Cloudwatch, Grafana)
