Data science has grown massively as a discipline in recent years, in part due to how valuable the insights it yields are to businesses. These companies all need data scientists to help them further their enterprise ambitions.
Human existence has become increasingly digital. As such, we produce reams and reams of data with every tap of our phone screen or click of the mouse.
It is the job of the data scientist to collect this data and harness it in such a way that it can produce illuminating insights. These types of insights are ones that were for a long time out of the reach of enterprises. Now that the previously unthinkable has become true, almost every business is lining up to cash in on what is being dubbed ‘the new oil’.
Data science is a rigorous and rewarding career that demands a high level of skill but, in turn, commands a lucrative salary and attractive employee benefits. If you think you fit the bill, these companies are all hiring in data science right now.
