Now Brewing ? Data Scientist! #tobeapartner
From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and rich tradition, but also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.
As a Data Scientist, you?ll support business decisions by partnering on a cross-functional team to understand complex data relationships and build core data science models. You?ll use data to create insights, develop repeatable pipelines, and deliver decision-ready outputs that can be adopted into real workflows.
As a Data Scientist, you will?
- Extract, shape, and validate data using SQL (and other frameworks as needed) to create analytically-ready datasets and dimensional/relational processes that support measurement and decision-making.
- Build and improve models and pipelines by developing basic data science models (or enhancing existing ones) and creating data pipelines for model training and outputs within shared codebases.
- Communicate insights clearly by explaining methodology choices, building dashboards/visualizations to validate outputs and monitor model performance, and translating results into implications and recommendations.
We?d love to hear from people with:
- 1+ year of experience in data science, applied analytics, or related work
- BA/BS or equivalent experience
- Proficiency with SQL and Python and/or R (data prep, pipelines, modeling)
- Working knowledge of common modeling techniques (e.g., regression, classification, decision trees, clustering, causal inference)
- Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, or similar)
- Strong communication skills and attention to detail
Preferred qualifications
- Degree concentration in a quantitative field (e.g., Statistics, Math, Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, Psychology, Quantitative Social Science, or similar)
- Advanced degree (MS or PhD) preferred.
- Experience working in shared analytics/engineering environments (version control, documentation, reproducible workflows)
- Experience supporting model measurement/monitoring through dashboards and performance reporting
