Data Scientists at Wolt build and deploy models to address business problems. Utilizing a spectrum of methodologies including statistical analysis, machine learning, and deep learning, they enhance critical processes within Wolt's online delivery platform and business operations. Their contributions significantly impact all 25 countries in which we operate.

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, Airflow, and Kafka to get the job done, and we have an internally developed machine learning platform (key components being Flyte, MLflow and Selcon Core), at our data scientists’ disposal. We are constantly looking for ways to improve how our data scientists work.

We are looking for a Data Scientist to be embedded into our cross-functional Merchant Catalog team, to work together with engineers, product, design and analytics people, on developing algorithms and solutions for improving our understanding of the different items, whether they are food or retail, that we sell. An example of this is creating product hierarchies and categorizations from item descriptions and images. The team owns the domain end to end, from developing approaches, to testing, and to understanding their impact and deploying and maintaining them.
