About the role
We're looking for a Data Scientist who thrives on solving complex B2B analytics challenges at scale. You'll build ML/AI systems that serve multiple industries simultaneously, tackling problems with sparse data patterns, irregular purchasing behavior, and high business stakes.
What you'll do
- Build and deploy ML models processing millions of transactions across 20+ enterprise customers
- Design recommendation engines handling catalogs of 500K+ products
- Develop predictive models for customer behavior with sparse, irregular interaction patterns
- Create churn prediction and cross-sell systems integrated with ERP systems
- Own complete lifecycle from problem definition to production deployment
- Build evaluation frameworks connecting model performance to business KPIs
- Build models that generate automated proposals and personalized communication templates using LLMs
- Combine classical ML (churn prediction, clustering) with LLMs for insight generation and sales enablement
What you'll need
- Strong background in machine learning fundamentals - you understand why algorithms work, not just how to use them
- Experience building production data powered products systems that handle real-world messiness
- Familiarity in distributed computing (Spark/PySpark) for processing large-scale data
- Solid software engineering practices - your code is tested, documented, and maintainable
- You approach problems from first principles rather than reaching for standard solutions
- Comfortable with ambiguity - you can define success metrics when requirements are vague
- Experience translating business problems into data science solutions
- Building ML systems that handle irregular patterns (time series with gaps, seasonal businesses, etc.)
Nice to have
- Experience in B2B analytics, e-commerce, or supply chain optimization
- Knowledge of recommendation systems, customer analytics, or revenue optimization
- Familiarity with modern data platforms (Databricks, Snowflake, etc.)
- Experience with MLOps practices and model lifecycle management
- Experience with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, or building LLM-augmented products
- Proficiency in German
What they offer
- Modern office in Berlin-Mitte with a collaborative team culture
- Small, elite team where everyone knows everyone
- Direct access to founders and customers - no bureaucracy
- Your work ships fast and impacts the business immediately
- High ownership, low process work environment
