Our data science team builds andoperatesmachine learning systems that powervehicle pricing and valuation across our marketplaces and dealer platforms. These systems influence how vehicles are priced traded and valued across multiple products and markets powering products used bymillions of usersacross our platforms.
As Senior Data Scientist Economics you will design build and evolve the machine learning systems behind these pricing and valuation capabilities. You will work on complex and often ambiguous problems exercising strong technical judgment to translate marketplace dynamics into reliable production systems.
This is a hands-on role where you design build andoperatemachine learning econometric and GenAI systems that run in production and matter to the business. At the same time you will influence technical direction raise the bar for engineering practices and enable other data scientists and engineers to succeed.
You will collaborate closely withProduct Engineering and business stakeholdersacross AutoScout24AutoProffLeasingMarkt and Trader to turn marketplace challenges into scalable ML-driven products.
This role is based in Munich and is part of a global team collaborating across Europe and Canada.
