Your role in the team

  • As Senior Data Scientist, you will be a key contributor within our global Data Science organization, shaping AI and machine learning systems that sit at the core of our marketplace platforms across Europe and Canada.
  • You design, build, and operate machine learning and GenAI systems that run in production and matter to the business.
  • You work on complex, ambiguous problems, exercise strong technical judgment, and take responsibility for outcomes - not just models.
  • While this is a hands-on role, you are also expected to influence technical direction, raise the bar for engineering practices, and enable other data scientists and engineers to succeed.
  • Own ML and GenAI systems end-to-end in production, including problem framing, system design, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
  • Make sound architectural and methodological decisions for ML systems on AWS, balancing robustness, observability, cost, and long-term maintainability.
  • Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Business leaders to turn ambiguous problems into ML-enabled product solutions with clear outcomes.
  • Operate and evolve ML systems deployed across multiple countries and markets, accounting for differences in data distributions, regulations, and constraints.
  • Mentor other data scientists through hands-on technical guidance, design reviews, and shared ownership of systems.

Our expectations of you

Education

  • Advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a comparable field.

Qualifications

  • Strong hands-on expertise in Python and modern ML frameworks, with the ability to ship, operate, and evolve ML systems in production.
  • Ability to influence technical decisions through clear judgment and collaboration, not formal authority.
  • Strong sense of ownership and accountability for outcomes, with a pragmatic approach to trade-offs and delivery.

Experience

  • 5+ years of experience building and owning production ML systems end-to-end in a real-world environment.
  • Solid experience with AWS and MLOps practices, including deployment, monitoring, and operating ML systems at scale.
  • Practical experience applying GenAI / LLMs in applied or production contexts, with a clear understanding of trade-offs and limitations.
