scientists investigate extract and report meaningful insights into an organization s data they communicate these insights to non technical stakeholders and have a good understanding of machine learning workflows and how to tie them back to business applications they work almost exclusively with coding tools conduct analysis and often work with big data tools data scientists are the detectives of the data world responsible for unearthing and interpreting rich data sources managing large amounts of data and merging data points to identify trends they utilize their analytical statistical and programming skills to collect analyze and interpret large datasets they then use this information to develop data driven solutions to challenging business problems a part of these solutions is developing machine learning algorithms that generate new insights e g identifying customer segments automate business processes e g credit score prediction or provide customers with new found value e g recommender systems key skills strong knowledge of python r and sql understanding of machine learning and ai concepts proficiency in statistical analysis quantitative analytics and predictive modeling data visualization and reporting techniques effective communication and presentation skills essential tools data analysis tools e g pandas numpy machine learning libraries e g scikit learn data visualization tools e g matplotlib tableau big data frameworks e g airflow spark command line tools e g git bash machine learning engineer machine learning engineers are the architects of the ai world they design and deploy machine learning systems that make predictions from organizations data they also solve problems like predicting customer churn and lifetime value and are responsible for deploying models for the organization to use machine learning engineers usually work exclusively with coding based tools key skills deep knowledge of python java and scala
