data scientist position

[Klaas Bosteels]

Hi all,

Apologies for being a bit spammy, but we're looking for more data
scientists at Massive Media and I figured some of you might very well
be interested:

It's all about big data and quite likely the first time a belgian
company recruits using the up-and-coming "data scientist" job title,
so you'll better get back to me right away after pinching yourself a
couple of times to make sure this isn't a dream! :)

Hi Klaas,

This is obviously an attractive opening for anyone who calls himself a big data enthusiast, including myself ;)

I'm just not sure how to interpret the "(Junior)" in the job title. Would you accept someone with a lot of experience, but who is junior in data science?

Thanks,

Nicolas

Klaas,

Staat deze ook open voor freelancers? Deze lijkt mij wel zeer interessant voor mij, maar ik voel er weinig voor om terug als werknemer aan de slag te gaan.

Grtn,

Cedric

Hey Nicolas,

Not sure if you intended to reply to the whole list, but it's a great
question so I hope you don't mind me including everyone in my reply as
well... :)

The "(Junior)" is mostly there because we realize that people with
(highly) relevant experience might be very hard to find in Belgium.
We'd definitely consider people with experience too, we're just also
willing to focus more on potential and give promising candidates the
chance to learn and improve their skills along the way.

Cheers,
-Klaas
