The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong statistical thinking, a solid grasp of machine learning principles, and the ability to apply core methodologies such as predictive modeling, econometric analysis, and time series forecasting.

  • Apply techniques such as time series forecasting, clustering, regression analysis, predictive modeling, and core machine learning algorithms (e.g., decision trees, random forests, gradient boosting, support vector machines, k-means clustering) to identify trends and predict future workforce changes.
  • Build and maintain pipelines for data and models to ensure scalable and efficient delivery of solutions, requiring strong engineering skills and an understanding of data infrastructure (e.g., using tools like Apache Airflow, Luigi, or Sagemaker Pipelines for orchestration and MLflow for model tracking and deployment).
  • Work cross-functionally to define problem statements, collect data, integrate models into products and translate technical insights into actionable recommendations for internal and external stakeholders.

  • Proficiency in Python, SQL, and machine learning frameworks (e.g., Scikit-Learn, PyTorch). Strong programming skills are essential, with the ability to write clean, scalable code and independently build prototypes for new ideas.
  • Practical knowledge across various machine learning techniques, such as classification, regression, and time-series forecasting.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS) and the ability to manage and streamline large datasets efficiently (e.g., using tools like Apache Airflow)
  • Keen statistical thinking ability and excels at turning data into strategic insights
  • Excellent interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills, with particular ability to convey technical information to a variety of technical and non-technical audiences


Preferred Skills:
  • Experience working with large datasets related to labor markets, such as government labor statistics, survey data, or other relevant sources.
