Job Title : Data scientist
Location: Raleigh NC (Onsite)
Job Type : Contract
As a data scientist on our team you will work on new product development in a small team environment writing production code in both run-time and build-time environments. You will help propose and build data-driven solutions for high-value customer problems by discovering extracting and modeling knowledge from large-scale natural language datasets including matter and contract repository invoice/legal spend data and work management. You will prototype new ideas collaborating with other data scientists as well as product designers data engineers front-end developers and a team of expert legal data annotators. You will get the experience of working in a start-up culture with the large datasets and many other resources of an established company.
