"A day in the life of a data scientist"

There are no “typical” days for a data scientist in WBAA. On any given day I wear many hats. I might start my day reviewing a merge request, ahead of our Scrum meeting. Following which I will rush off to a meeting with a business expert to discuss a recent analysis I prepared, that might even involve walking them through the python notebook I prepared with a subsample of data. In the afternoon, I’ll sit with colleagues to discuss cutting-edge machine learning methodologies, that might involve helping each other through some difficult math on a white board. Perhaps the only thing “typical” or “standard” in my day is making sure to take out after lunch for a quick game of ping pong with the team.

As a Data Scientist KYC you are passionate about your field of work: Data Science. You look to not only develop predictive algorithms, but also to actually deliver them as a working product to end-users and incorporate their feedback in the product. You know how to apply machine learning algorithms, but more importantly, you know how they work under the hood.

You want to work with key developments in the Data Science area. Experimenting with new algorithms and technology.

Our ambition is to “Catch the bad guys!”, those trying to launder money using ING and the banking system. We want ING to become the most trustworthy bank in the world! For this we are building a real-time anti-money-laundering product. We are bringing together domain expertise, top-notch user-experience, massive amounts of data (internal and external), cutting edge data science, robust software engineering and strong product management. Your team will work together with an existing team in Amsterdam, with as much agility as possible, on the continuous cycle of discovery and delivery and will own key features of the product. Where needed we will partner with ING colleagues, academia, vendors, start-ups and other banks to get the job done.
 

The Wholesale Banking Advanced Analytics team is a team of 100 people (and growing rapidly) that has the mission to make Wholesale Banking in ING data driven. We do this by combining Big Data technology with Data Science to deliver high value solutions and products for our organization. We work in a fun and creative environment and we’re dedicated to bringing out the best in both each other and our projects. We have offices in Amsterdam, Katowice, Warsaw, London and Romania.

Besides this, you will build and improve predictive models using statistical and machine learning techniques. You will work in one of the finest engineering teams of the world, to implement the algorithms and visualizations you’ve helped to build as prototypes. You will design, analyse and interpret business hypothesis and explore datasets through using available tools and recommend ideas to business when data/results is available through good visualizations / predictive algorithms. Last but not least, you assist users to understand the data science principles and when needed provide an explanation for the model behavior and possible correcting actions.
