About the role

As a Data Scientist, you will be an integral part of the team that builds data products such as our Product Matching solution. Your main job is to analyze data and find insights that improve the matching experience. Your insights will help improve machine learning models, the Matching Tool app, and the data models that enable matches.

In this role, you will have the unique opportunity to work with vast volumes of data, such as our 12-billion-row price/promo table, allowing you to hone your skills in analysing large-scale datasets. You will gain exposure to state-of-the-art machine learning models being utilised in production and collaborate with talented Data Scientists and (ML) Engineers to tackle an incredibly challenging and fascinating problem in the retail data space. This position offers a chance to dive deep into various types of data, including product data, location data, pricing data, and price promo data, primarily in text format, but also incorporating images and numerical data.

You will be reporting to the CTO.

• Perform data analysis to uncover insights and trends.

• Collaborate with the Data Platform team to work on various projects, including spikes, proofs-of-concept, and research-oriented questions.

• Contribute to the improvement of the matching experience by providing data-driven insights and recommendations through data analysis.
