Together you will build and maintain robust pipelines that apply these methodologies. With this, the team supports the advanced analytics needs of Nielsen's audience measurement products that provide value for clients. The team collaborates cross functionally with colleagues from product, data engineering, DevOps and other data science teams to develop joint solutions.
In this role your focus in the team will be on methodology development, although you will also take part in the other team tasks, such as data engineering, developing and maintaining production pipelines, and various analytics tasks.
