Lead Data Scientist

**ADP is hiring a Lead Data Scientist**
- Does the thought of working with one of the most comprehensive employment data sets excite you?
- Are you empathetic to client needs and inspired by transformation and impacting the lives of millions of people every day?
- Are you looking to join a dynamic, inclusive team environment with a culture of collaboration and belonging?

Well, this may be the role for you. Ready to design what's next?

No two days are the same. Everyday projects range from deep learning, research & development, algorithm development, natural language processing to deployment of ML models to production.

To thrive in this career as a Lead Data Scientist for the Core AI team, you have the skills to design and implement Machine Learning systems using languages, frameworks, and tooling such as Python, AWS and Databricks. You should have experience building models in the areas such as natural language processing, deep learning, classification algorithms or recommender systems. You'll mentor other team members and help them grow. Our best people in this role are independent thinkers and proactive problem solvers, and as a lead team member, you will be a role model for these behaviors.

You'll need to have some formal education in Computer Science or a related quantitative field and know design patterns and data structures. You have the skills to leverage existing models or create new models using the technologies above. But given the scale of our data sets and the complex problems we give you to solve, you will stay challenged and engaged with years of exciting projects ahead-all while growing your skills and progressing in a rewarding career.
