At Scribd (pronounced “scribbed”), we believe reading is more important than ever. Join our cast of characters as we work to change the way the world reads by building the world’s largest and most fascinating digital library: giving subscribers access to a growing collection of ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, documents, Scribd Originals, and more. In addition to works from major publishers and top authors, our community includes over 1.5M subscribers in nearly every country worldwide.
The Explainable ML team is part of the Machine Learning & Discovery organization, which creates AI/ML powered experiences that help our subscribers discover content they love.
About the team:
• We design, develop and experiment with new kinds of data visualizations that power the “unblackboxing” of our ML models.
• We collaborate with Data Scientists and Machine Learning Engineers to improve model explainability and discover novel views into our data.
• We build custom visual tools that give Product Managers the insights they need to make sound, data-driven decisions and deliver world-class ML-based user experiences.
About you:
You have a technical background in frontend web development with a specialty in data visualization. You have a knack for creative communication and visual storytelling, a facility with exploratory data analysis, a solid design sense, and a user-focused mindset. You are a great team player, and you thrive in an environment of fast paced development and collaboration.
What you'll do:
• Work through all phases of the data visualization lifecycle, from exploratory data analysis and hypothesis generation through solution design and implementation.
• Develop and deliver highly interactive analytical dashboards and data visualizations that generate more than just the expected insights.
You have:
• 1-2 years of experience building web-based interactive analytical dashboards and visualizations.
• Demonstrated technical skills in web development (esp. React.js, Node.js, Rails) and data visualization libraries (e.g. D3.js, Semiotic, Recharts, React-viz)
• An intuitive sense for effective visual communication combined with the technical acumen to bring your ideas to life.
• A knack for creative problem solving and a willingness to learn new technologies and skills.
• Familiarity with the fundamentals of machine learning and its applications a plus.
