Your role in the team
- As a Senior Software Engineer (Data/ML) in the Pricing Platform department, you will be responsible for building cutting-edge algorithmic pricing solutions that are essential for optimising profit and managing the stock risk across all articles on the Zalando platform.
- You will make these products reliable in production.
- You will build the data, software, deployment, and monitoring foundations that allow models to move safely from experimentation into daily commercial use.
- This is an engineering role at the intersection of data platforms, machine learning, optimisation, and product development.
- You will work closely with Applied Scientists, Product Managers, Engineers, and commercial stakeholders to turn ambiguous problems into trusted, scalable systems.
- Build and operate production systems for data ingestion, optimisation, forecasting, and machine learning.
- Design scalable data and ML pipelines using Python, Databricks, Spark, and Airflow, with clear data contracts and reliable failure handling.
- Enable applied scientists to develop and evaluate models efficiently by providing reusable training, evaluation, deployment, and experiment-tracking capabilities.
- Productionise models: define dependable inputs and outputs, automate deployment, monitor quality and performance, and make model behaviour traceable in production.
- Develop and operate workloads in the appropriate execution environment: Databricks jobs for distributed data and ML processing, and Dockerised applications running as Kubernetes pods where that runtime is needed.
- Build operational dashboards, alerts, and runbooks so that users and engineers can understand system state, identify issues, and respond effectively.
- Work with product and commercial partners to convert business rules and decision requirements into maintainable software components.
- Raise the engineering bar through pragmatic standards for system design, testing, code review, CI/CD, observability, and operational ownership.

- Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools such as Co-pilot, Codex or Claude Code is welcome.
