Hey, you look like you might be our new ย Senior Data Scientist, Forecasting
Analytics & Data Science
Berlin, Germanyย ยท Remote
Full-time
Data Scientists at Wolt are working with machine learning for the most important processes and parts of Woltโs online delivery platform and business operations that affect all the 23 countries we operate in. The work consists of owning machine learning use cases as part of a product or business team; starting from identifying opportunities, to developing and prototyping a solution, all the way to deploying, maintaining, and improving a production-ready solution inside of the embedded product team. We use a variety of technologies and tools including Python, SQL, Spark, Docker and K8s, Snowflake, Looker, Flyte, Seldon Core, Airflow, MLflow and Kafka to get the job done, and constantly looking for ways to improve how our data scientists work. ๐ช๐ช
We are looking for a data scientist to be embedded into our cross-functional Supply & Demand team, working together with engineers, product and analytics people, focusing on improving our forecasting capabilities. The team is responsible for forecasting both supply (availability of couriers) and demand (orders), and building applications, like supply planning, on top of those. The team also works on developing approaches to cope with imbalance situations, where customer and courier experience starts to deteriorate. As an expert on forecasting, youโll help to raise the bar and impact of forecasting across the whole organization.
