The role of a Data Scientist at Dataiku is quite unique.

Just as non-technical skills are important, so too are technical skills. Our Data Scientists work on the Dataiku platform every day. Aside from the visual tools, our team primarily uses Python and SQL, with occasional work in other languages (e.g., R, PySpark, JavaScript).
