To achieve this, we must understand what our customers are saying through different customer feedback sources including CS contacts, product reviews, return comments, and social media posts.

Do you enjoy working on challenging problems, and implementing/deploying your ideas at scale? Are you capable of building end-to-end solutions that deliver significant benefits to the business in a fast pace environment? Will you bring innovation and simplicity to the team? If so, you are invited to join the WWDE Science Team.

Major responsibilities:
* Understand business challenges as well as identify gaps and new opportunities by analyzing and extracting relevant information from large amounts of both structured and unstructured data
