Senior Data Scientist

Project Description:

Emerging Tech Developers create rapid proofs of concept to test hypotheses about how emerging technologies can be applied to business use cases. We learn and explore at the forefront of Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Internet of Things, Robotics, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. The lab’s role is to generate prototypes, demos and learnings that our teams and clients can use when deciding how to apply and invest in emerging technologies.

The majority of the resources would be supporting the development of assets (e.g., plugins) to further drive our overall AI strategy across the firm. In addition to that, we have ongoing AI R&D initiatives that we’d look to leverage some of these roles to help us continue driving the initiatives
