About your new role

  • Work as an interface between Product Management, (ML-)Engineers and Analysts in a cross-functional team on idealo's search to provide our customers with the best possible search experience.

  • You analyze large volumes of search data to uncover patterns, trends, and opportunities – from customer segmentation to identifying and cleaning issues such as bot traffic. Based on your findings, you drive solution design and business impact assessments collaboratively with the team.

  • You elaborate requirements for data-driven solutions, identify dependencies, and lead their development in close collaboration with your teammates. Your work includes the evaluation and implementation of advanced technologies such as knowledge graphs, vector search or ranking algorithms.

  • You contribute to continuous improvement of off- and online evaluation metrics for search relevance and apply deep statistical methods as well as ML evaluation techniques, including LLM applicability.

  • You deliver robust, measurable solutions, if needed as services or APIs, including dashboards and KPIs to monitor impact and quality. Together with Analysts, you define hypotheses and use A/B testing to interpret causal effects.

  • You recognize the potential of existing data and proactively identify missing elements to improve the completeness and impact of your solutions.

Skills & Requirements

  • At least 5 years of professional experience as a Data Scientist with a track record of completed projects. You have a Ph.D., M.Sc. or equivalent in areas like Deep Learning, NLP or Statistics and an excellent understanding of applying best practices.

  • You enjoy systematically and independently digging into complex data and machine learning tasks. You can set your own goals and produce quantitative results in a goal-oriented manner which you can present in a comprehensible way.

  • You are proficient in SQL and Python's scientific computing packages (NumPy, SciPy, pandas, et.al.) and can produce concise visualizations that support your results.

  • You can apply causal inference analyses and experiments to evaluate new ideas and guide decision-making.

  • You have good experience with Python's Machine Learning packages beyond scikit-learn and have a good grasp of classification and regression models, as well as object embeddings.

  • Excellent communication skills in English, both oral and written.
    Intermediate communication skills in German are a plus.

You don't tick all the boxes? Don't worry, we are looking for employees who convince us with their personality and are motivated to go on full power with their team!
