GET READY TO APPLY: Senior Data Scientist, Safety & Security Wikimedia Foundation Apply on their own site: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jobs/8210560 This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/wikimedia-foundation-senior-data-scientist-safety-security Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours. The application takes real work, by our reading. 1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK [ ] Fluency in R or Python, and common version control and command-line-based tools, for data analysis, statistical modeling, simulation, visualization, & reporting. [ ] Fluency in SQL and working with large scale data (we use tools like Hive, Presto, Druid, and Spark). 2. WHAT TO GET READY The listing does not say what it needs. When you open their page, write down everything it asks for before you start. 3. DATES - No closing date is stated. - Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. (our advice) A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
