Knowledgeable in Python, R (or Matlab) and SQL. Advanced in being able to analyze/attack large (and sometimes unstructured) data sets, knowledgeable of big data platforms (i.e. Hadoop) and what it takes to scale analysis to large real-time data sets (e.g. using Spark/Storm). 

We like to see that you have sharp analytical skills and a “can do” attitude dealing with fast changes and a high pace. You strive to have the right balance between speed and theory and also have high ambition - always beating expectations. A true team player with strong communication skills.
