We zoeken een medior of senior projectleider om data science projecten te definiëren en ze samen met het team van data science engineers te realizeren. Voor deze job is kennis van zowel het Nederlands als Engels een vereiste.

We are looking for a Dutch speaking medior / senior Data Science Project Lead to complement our data science team working on our projects. The job consists of a more or less equal combination of hands-on data science in various fields and on all kinds of data (structured & unstructured data, texts...), and project definition/management as well as contact with customers.
 
You will get the opportunity to use various ML / AI / data science libraries and work on a variety of applications. You will have the opportunity to look behind the scenes of our many industrial customers from various sectors, including (petro-) chemical, paper and pulp, automotive, metallurgy and food-and-beverage.
 
Here’s a selection of some projects where we’ve built software solutions for our customers:

• AI-based biometric signature verification for a mobile payment platform
• Automatic sorting of onions based on computer vision and AI
• Predictive modelling of prices and probability of winning second-hand cars in an online auction using AI
• Predictive modelling of failures in production processes using AI
• Vision-based detection of assembly mistakes in aluminum profiles
• Optimizing and controlling in real-time the use of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants based on predictions of the evolution of electricity prices to help maintain the balance on the electric grid
• Detecting anomalies in a variety of industrial processes: chemical processes, assembly lines, combined heat and power (CHP) plants, paper machines,… using unsupervised AI algorithms
  

What are your responsibilities?
In this job, you will use and extend a broad set of data science skills as well as interpersonal and management skills. You will mostly work together with one or more team members on projects and your day job typically consists of:

• Help defining and scoping projects together with customers and other senior Yazzoom team members
• After some time, write and budget projects and prepare and present offers to customers (with the guidance of senior Yazzoom team members)
• Project management of the projects: follow up on deliverables and milestones, monitor timing, budget and deadlines, handle change requests, …
• Act as a sparring partner / second pair of eyes for the people doing the data science work
• Apply and sometimes (co-)invent and implement AI/ML algorithms for processing various types of data (timeseries, tabular, …)
• Development of computer models and doing predictive and prescriptive analytics for various applications
• Build Proof of Concepts in notebooks, but also Integrate these algorithms into the operational flow of the customer, train the users and give support

 
What’s your profile?
You tick the following boxes:

• You speak and write English and Dutch fluently
• You are fluent in Python and its data science stack (pandas/scikit-learn/jupyter/luigi …)
• You love to define and manage projects.
• Knowledge of and hands-on experience with data mining and machine learning is a must. Experience with optimization algorithms is a plus.
• Are strong in communication, both written and oral. You can deliver both good and bad news with the right tone and have an eye for the sensibilities of the other people at the table.
• Have a Master or PhD in pure or applied Computer Science/informatics, mathematics, physics or engineering.
• Are looking for a job with a lot of variation: next to the theoretical-scientific side of the job, you also love to learn new technologies, software libraries and frameworks and want to apply them to solving real-world problems. And you love to interact with people, both colleagues and customers.
• A driver’s license type B is a plus, as is the flexibility to occasionally travel to our customers in Belgium and internationally.

What do we offer?

• Yazzoom is an innovative high-tech software and engineering company that helps its customers to push the boundaries of what is possible in terms of data analysis, machine learning and optimization algorithms. With us, you enter a growing company active in the world of constant innovation.
• We provide the opportunity for training and cooperation with both junior and experienced colleagues. However, we expect you to hit the ground running and start managing projects and coding from the first weeks.
• In this job, you will never get bored. This is a job with a lot of variety. We offer the opportunity to grow with the company if you want and fit the requirements.
• We promote communication and permanent learning in an informal, constructive, and no-nonsense corporate culture. Your colleagues are top notch and up to speed with the latest technological trends so you can learn with them and from them.
• No rigid organizational structures and decision-making processes, but direct access to the company management and flexible working hours.
• We give a lot of confidence to our employees and expect them to use it wisely. Therefore, we greatly appreciate taking initiative, passion for the work without neglecting the rest of your life, intelligence, teamwork and integrity.
• We work hard but we also take time to celebrate success and have fun.
• You will get to work in a winning team of smart professionals with diverse backgrounds (not only computer science) on a variety of challenging projects.
• Your motivation, initiative and dedication are rewarded with a competitive remuneration package, with extras such as a company car or free public transport, a wage bonus, contributions to your retirement fund, a large training budget and an attractive travel allowance.

Where are we located?
The main location and base for this job is our office in Sint-Denijs-Westrem near Ghent (or from home while this is required by the corona regulations, and optionally one day per week afterwards). About 10 minutes from the Sint-Pieters train station by tram or by bike, and a few minutes from the E40 motorway. Occasional travel to our (local or international) customers is required. Usually half or one day visits, and occasionally several days in a row.
