Description

Have you ever wanted to solve a mystery or be part of solving a case? Are you fascinated by detective stories or crime shows on TV? Do you love to catch bad actors, build ML models and solve complex problems. If so, working on the WWOS Tech team as an Applied Scientist is the place for you!

This individual will be given responsibility on their first day to own those business challenges and the autonomy to think strategically and make data driven decisions.
