We address some of the most difficult and strategic issues in the automotive industry such as how to launch electric vehicles, and how social media will change car ownership. We are profitable, doubling each year, compensate well, and have great benefits -- including beer on tap. Our culture is important to us. We make decisions on three simple values: == Brand: Make our customers, employees and partners love us. We bring start-up enthusiasm, speed, and innovation to the enterprise. We solve hard problems, we are agile, we keep it simple, and we over-deliver. Growth: Doubling each year is hard, but interesting--we have to completely change the problems we are tackling and how we approach them. Growth is the challenge that excites us to come into work and allows us to hire and retain the best people. Fun. Life is too short to hate your job. We have the luxury of picking what we work on, and we choose what motivates us. Work will sometimes be work, but we try to minimize suck. We have a relaxed, collaborative environment. We celebrate our successes, and sometimes, we just celebrate. Responsibilities: == Data Management Guru Responsibilities: Our business is built on understanding our customers' data more deeply than they do. We have a broad range of web, behavioral, descriptive, financial, and operational data on consumers, companies, and dealers in the automotive industry. Nearly every Oceanus project involves integrating heterogeneous, unstructured data, making sense of it with little help, mining it for insights, and applying it in novel ways to solve business problems. As our business doubles every year, the complexity of our data warehouse grows even faster. We need you to make data management an ever-greater differentiator for Oceanus by: Maintaining our dozens of data sources and import schedules and processes to deliver 100% reliability and integrity, even in the face of poor-quality source data Applying innovation, intelligence, and heuristic approaches to our ETL rather than standard, fixed brute-force rules Continuously enhancing our technology platform and toolsets as new problems arise: building and buying when appropriate Becoming a subject matter expert in the data itself, to apply better semantic checks and structure the data more intelligently than anyone else could Building an agile version management and production release process for data Ensuring our data warehouse scales appropriately as our data sets grow Working with our customers to help them develop more agile internal data management processes We use a range of tools and technologies: SQL Server, Oracle, bash, Perl, Python, SQL, Informatica, etc. We are looking for someone who has a deep understanding of ETL concepts but is not just a DBA or ETL developer, who is not wedded to any particular toolkit, and who is comfortable with programming, algorithmic thinking, automated testing, and pushing the envelope on agile database development and process automation. This position is perfect for a data junkie with a development bent. == Data Management Guru Requirements: Bachelor's degree in CS, or equivalent experience. At least 2 years of work history managing complex data sets with novel, fault-tolerant approaches. (Significantly more compensation is available for those with deeper experience.) Track record of success in using diverse technologies and approaches to manage data in an extremely dynamic environment. Comfort with and commitment to being our technology lead in a critical area of our business. == Data Scientist Responsibilities: Our Data Scientists do everything from data prep to data mining and statistical analysis to business presentation. They are pivotal to our projects from start to finish, developing the entire path from business problem statement to data-driven solution recommendation. Data scientists need to be good at both asking the right questions and finding creative, technically rigorous answers. Oceanus Data scientists work with detailed data that describes the inner workings of the automotive industry: consumer web-browsing and purchase information, customer demographics and psychographics, vehicle production and delivery specs and schedules, vehicle sales performance and history, incentives, repair information, dealership operations, etc. They dream up and answer big questions: What makes some dealerships more successful than others? How much sales lift comes from incentives? What kind of marketing is effective? What mix of product packages and features should be manufactured? How many will sell? Who is likely to buy an electric car? We don't specialize in particular algorithms or modeling approaches -- we are always learning and looking for the best approach to the problem at hand. The best candidates will have both exceptional technical/statistical skills and strong business acumen, and be interested in fast-paced work and varied responsibilities. They will be knowledgeable and capable enough to find a way to leverage data to answer nearly any automotive business question, choosing their own analytical approaches and owning project results. (Though there is an opportunity to transition less complex work to offshore teams.) They'll be excited to present results that could change the way businesses operate, and able to present those simply and clearly, in terms that businesspeople understand. == Data Scientist Requirements: Graduate degree or equivalent in CS, statistics, econometrics, operations research, math, or a related field. Deep knowledge of at least one statistical analysis tool (preferably R or SPSS) and Microsoft Office for presentation. At least 2 years of work history in data analysis, with a track record of successful application of diverse analytical approaches (including but not limited to regression modeling, time series analysis, and decision trees.) Programming skills, including ability for sophisticated automated data prep through SQL and at least one other language, and ability to build reusable analytical tools from scratch. Ability and drive to work quickly and deliver new insights and incremental results on a daily basis. For a good example of the pragmatic work style and approach to problem solving that we value, see Jeremy Howard’s video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwt6XEh7U3g For more information or next steps, see the posting at http://oceanus.jobscore.com/list or reach out to me directly.
