IPSOS SCIENCE CENTER

The Ipsos Science Center (ISC) is a uniquely positioned group within Ipsos. We perform analyses and develop software tools both for clients and internal teams, respond to advanced analytic requests, and consult on a broad range of statistical and behavior science best practices. Working in a collaborative and supportive environment, we seek to expand what is possible in market research with data science.

We’re looking for a highly capable, data-literate person. We need someone who is a better statistician than most programmers and a better programmer than most statisticians. We are looking for someone with the communication skills to suggest analysis appropriate for a problem, develop a prototype, polish it if it works, stand up an API if it’s worth distributing, build visuals on top as needed, and work through the challenges along the way. We’re looking for a detail-oriented developer who has the flexibility, capability, and curiosity to collaboratively work across the process. In short, we’re looking for a full-stack engineer for the analytic stack.
