Overview


Are you passionate about changing the world through machine learning and location intelligence? If yes, then it’s the right time to join our team because we are about to do so!

With the IoT revolution (30 billion sensors by 2020), the consumerization of mapping, and location data growing exponentially day after day, location is becoming extremely important to more and more people. We want to enable organizations and businesses to go beyond basic visualization and analytics of such massive data, to the realm of being two or three steps ahead of the game by extracting advanced levels of intelligence from it, predicting important events, and automating significant proportions of their work through AI and machine learning.

We are looking for an entrepreneurial, collaborative person with strong hands-on experience and solid track record with statistical analysis, machine learning, predictive analytics, software engineering, and passion for location to help us on our mission to build world class predictive location analytics solutions for our customers in 160+ countries.

Responsibilities:
Build high-quality prediction systems that solve our customers' business problems by applying data mining and machine learning techniques; doing statistical analysis; and exploring, interpreting, and analyzing datasets for patterns of interest
Work closely with different teams on understanding our customers’ needs to craft and pitch machine learning use cases to them
Model business problems to machine learning ones, mapping business data to dependent and independent features, doing proper feature engineering, iterating with different predictive models, conducting hyper parameter optimization to yield highest prediction accuracy, and deploying the model to production
Help build the data science and machine learning capability inside Esri: develop best practices and patterns for geospatial machine learning, develop reusable technical components for demos and POCs, and identify and help establish needed technology stack and infrastructure
