Knowledge Discovery Engineer (KDE) for NeoVista Software

Job Description
In this position, candidates will be responsible for the implementation and
technical success of business solutions through the application of NeoVista's
Decision Series or vertical software products. NeoVista puts business value of
customer solutions first. 

Candidates who will be strongly preferred are those with business deployment
experience in at least one, and preferably more, of the following analytic
techniques:  neural networks, decision trees (i.e. C5.0, CART or CHAID),  naove
Bayes, clustering or association rules.  Strong experience solving business
problems with modeling process, regression, statistics or other analytic numeric
methods is also relevant for this position.  

KDE's should to be proficient in programming and manipulating large data systems
as part of the analysis.  Analytic projects may involve 10-50 GB of data, and
may be contained in a half dozen tables to as many as 75 tables.  Strong
experience in either SQL or SAS is a core skill set.   Experience in Unix
scripting, Java, C++, or C can be helpful. 

Must have BA/BS or equivalent with 5+ years of experience in the computer
industry, although most of our KDE's have an MS or Ph.D.   One or more years of
experience with large scale data mining/knowledge discovery/pattern recognition
projects as an implementor is desirable.

Helpful experience includes analytic or business experience in our vertical
markets.  Our vertical markets include retail (supply chain optimization
problems), insurance, banking or telco (Customer Relationship Marketing problems
such as customer retention, segmentation or fraud).  Experience in targeted
marketing analytics or deployment is useful.  Candidates are not required to
have such vertical market experience. Other helpful experience includes: 
presentation, written and client communication skills, project management or
proposal writing.  Periodic travel may be required for project presentations, or
for on site analytic work.

This job description describes a "center" of the set of skills useful for this
position.  It may be to the advantage for candidates to send a cover letter
detailing specific experiences, strengths and weakness to fill a KDE role. 
Preferred locations for employment are:  Cupertino, CA, Dallas, Atlanta or other
major metropolitan areas.  NeoVista Software has an immediate need to hire
multiple KDE's.


Pre-Sales Knowledge Discovery Engineer (KDE) for NeoVista Software

Job Description
People in this position work with a sales executive to listen to prospects,
understand their business problems, and to propose compelling KDD solution. 
Giving presentations and or demos to small groups of business VP's and their
technical advisors is a common activity.  It is important to be able to
communicate effectively to business executives and individuals that may be
technical in either IT or analytic methods.  Travel for 1-3 day trips twice a
month may not be uncommon.

Once the pre-sales KDE proposes a solution, they may write for a proposal the
project plan, description of major tasks, project deliverables and possible
business deployment strategies.  They may also play an account management role
with regard to technical issues. 

The pre-sales KDE should be able to meet the majority of the requirements for a
KDE, however the distinction between KDE's and pre-sales KDE's occurs in
degrees.  Preferred locations for employment are:  Cupertino, CA, Dallas,
Atlanta or other major metropolitan areas.  NeoVista Software has immediate
openings for multiple pre-sales KDE's.


Application Directions:
Please email or fax a resume and a cover letter addressed to me.  I will be
