Hedge Funds Data Science Projects

Hi, 

I'm hoping to better understand the role that data analysts / scientists have in hedge funds (or private equity) firms. I'm aware of the typical systematic HFs but it would be helpful to understand how other alternative investment funds leverage their data. I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone could provide some colour on the day to day and any project examples. 

Thanks a lot!
