Unsure about hiring data analysts from Indonesia? Read on to see my thoughts on why this is an untapped market you shouldn’t miss out.
Pooling the country’s data science talents
Supertype was started in Indonesia as a social organization that bands the country’s best data analysts, data scientists, AI practitioners, machine learning engineers and software developers together. It is a purpose-driven initiative started deep in the Covid-19 pandemic, to offer a place of support, companionship, and above all, to facilitate a high degree of knowledge transfer in the data science and artificial intelligence domains among Indonesia’s frontrunners.
Many of the members in this Collective are highly skilled researchers, and we operate in Units. From computer vision Units, to natural language processing (NLP) Units; from generic deep learning research Units, to marketing analytics and business intelligence Units, the Collective program gathers these data scientists in a team of 5, and develop them in a mentorship program supervised by experienced data science professionals and industry veterans.
We’ve also partnered with Indonesia’s leading data science education center, Algoritma, who prides itself on its rigorous 140-hour curriculum (offered in English through Ngee Ann Polytechnic in Singapore, and Bahasa Indonesia in Indonesia) to provide additional supervisory and oversight to our Development program.
Why work with Supertype?
Companies around the world are gearing up to embrace the fourth industrial revolution, accelerated by key breakthroughs in technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and data science. By hiring data analysts and data scientists on a distributed, extended-team model, companies have access to the most qualified data talent, unrestricted by his or her geographical locations.
Large organizations such as GitLab has 1,000 employees in 54 countries, and serve 100,000 organization clients from around the world. WordPress’s parent organization say its employees, 1,273 of them, hail from every continent and 36 countries around the world.
