Job Description

CARTO is looking for a knowledgable, motivated and independent Data Scientist to join our Data Science team in our Madrid office. With over 120 employees in NYC, DC, Madrid and London, CARTO helps clients like Vodafone, Mastercard, DPD and BBVA to turn their location data into business outcomes.

You will work with CARTO's Data Science, Product and Strategic Solutions teams to research, test and implement custom statistical / machine learning models and algorithms that will become key part of the tools we build for customers. These models may help to predict revenues for retail sites with transaction data; enable field sales teams to balance their territories or cities to predict crashes with historical traffic data.

You will also work closely with our Strategic Solutions department to understand the needs of our clients and with our NYC-based Head of Data Science to scope out solutions that answer these needs, liaising with our product team to turn research into API’s that can be consumed by multiple front-end applications (such as Reveal or SalesQuest).

What you’ll do

Define models that solve spatial data problems with our Data Science team.
Help our Product and Engineering teams to implement these models in our live products.
Collaborate with our Strategic Solutions team to gain a deep understanding of our client’s business problems and how we can use Location Intelligence through our applications to address them.

You feel comfortable working with databases (especially PostgreSQL).
You know how to communicate complex ideas to a non-technical audience.
You are able to speak in English even in deeply technical conversations.
You feel at home operating independently in a dynamic work environment.
You are a self-starter with bias for action and plenty of ideas to propose and put in motion.

Good to haves

You’re used to working with Spatial Data.
You’re versed in Spark, Hadoop or other similar platforms.
You can use visualization tools like D3, matplotlib or R Shiny.
You know some JavaScript.
You’ve built APIs before.
You’ve worked in one of the following use cases: Site Planning, Territory Management or Logistics Optimization.
You have experience working in a sector such as Retail, Real Estate, Transport or Logistics.

Benefits

We offer

Competitive, results-based compensation.

Flexible work hours in a focused but casual environment at the center of Madrid.
A bright, comfortable office, stocked with snacks, good coffee, and even a ping-pong table, a self-built arcade and cinema :)
