Senior Data Scientist

Who are we? At Edge, we believe that by simplifying employee data, large corporations will be able to resolve suboptimal talent management issues. After the pandemic, the necessity of managing a remote workforce has elevated the importance of this information. We have spent the last eight years gaining an understanding of the IT and BFSI workforces. This employee data was used to develop a sophisticated intelligence. EdGE graphTM is the brain behind our AI-based products. The graph was constructed using 11 million job descriptions and over 30 million profiles. Our products, such as Pathfinder, Recruit, and Mobility, are used by IT companies such as Wipro, HCL, UST Global, etc. to upskill, invest in, and retain their current workforce. It has enabled businesses to enhance their workforce availability, billing, and allocations, and to generate direct bottom-line impacts. The new order of talent decisions enables us to define, identify, and plan for a workforce that is prepared for the future. We provide organisations with end-to-end talent management solutions so that they have a 360-degree view of their talent supply chain. This allows them to make intelligent talent decisions and construct an intelligent workforce. Edge Networks was founded in 2012 in a Bangalore apartment with support from the National Skill Development Corporation of India (NSDC). We are a member of the NASSCOM Product Council and have been recognised as an innovative tech HR startup by Gartner, Deloitte, Equidam, NVIDIA, and Amazon. At Edge, we recognise that companies whose operations are centred on their employees and supported by data will have a productive organisation. This is how Edge uses technology for good.
