Data Scientist

About the project

Are you a seasoned Data Scientist ready to make a significant impact on one of the world's largest eCommerce platforms? Here, we implement projects based on a practical application of artificial intelligence and Data Science (e.g. search engine and recommendations, customer service automation, fraud detection) on a scale unprecedented in Poland.

In order to effectively implement ML solutions and automate existing processes, we need the support of inquisitive, experienced and data driven individuals. The ones willing to be up to date on newest SoTA algorithms and advancements in AI, from new deep learning architectures, explainable AI and GenAI but still grounded and aware of statistics and predictive modelling.

In Allegro you will work with solutions from prototypes to create stable, high-performance solutions (e.g. support for millions of RPS in the search engine) and combine these services with batch and stream processing analyzing real BigData (also in the public cloud). If you thrive on diverse challenges, continuous development, and multidisciplinary knowledge, this is the place for you!

Important things for you:

The salary range for this position depending on the skill set is as follows (contract of employment, tax-deductible cost):

- PLN 14 600 - 20 825

- Annual bonus based on your annual performance and company results.
