Who You Are

You are a researcher with a strong mathematics and/or statistics background. You have extensive knowledge of various statistical methods and also know how those are implemented in code. You can draw insights from data as needed, but you also enjoy developing new statistical methods. You stay informed about the emerging trends in the statistics and data science fields and have a solid understanding of the more traditional and classical aspects of the fields. You enjoy thinking about novel ways to use existing methods to solve new problems and optimal ways to present statistical and data analytic results to empower more people to find insights from data. You enjoy coding up your ideas to use as proof-of-concept demonstrations.

What You Will Do

You will join a community where code is created by developers working in concert with colleagues from several professions – other developers and testers, of course, but equally important user experience designers and technical communicators, as well as project and product managers. In addition, customers visit, and data scientists drop by. You will enjoy the pleasure of doing engineering in a rich context, surrounded by several kinds of expertise. We consider software development a communal art of discovery: Spotfire keeps evolving in our modern office is located in central Gothenburg. Here, you will design and develop new analytics capabilities for the Spotfire product suite with close attention to robustness, scalability and performance.

You will be the “in-house” Math/Statistics expert for the algorithms development team. You will formulate solutions for product ideas using mathematical and statistical building blocks and provide subject matter expertise to the Development, QA, Support, and Product Management teams. You will ensure that the right statistical and machine-learning algorithms are being implemented in a scalable and performant manner to assist our users with they data discovery journey.
