Who this fits

From the employer
Our bar is high, and this is the best place for ambitious builders.
Bootstrapped and profitable from day one, Almedia is Germany’s fastest-growing company (FT1000). Join us as we build the global leader in rewards, at a $1bn+ revenue run rate and climbing fast.
Berlin, On-site
€60K – €85K + Equity
Most Junior Data Scientists spend their first years building dashboards and reporting on what already happened. Here, you'll work on models that run in production and shape what millions of users see every day.
You'll join a small team of people who have built and shipped ML systems at scale, and learn from them directly. You get real problems from week one, and the support to solve them. Show us you can own more, and we'll give you more.
What You'll Do 🎯
Build models that predict user value, engagement and reward behaviour, and see them live in our product
Run A/B tests on offers, rewards and ranking, and work out what actually caused the result
Build and fix the data pipelines your models depend on
Take on new problems with no playbook yet, from first idea to production
What You'll Bring 💡
Strong Python and SQL. You use AI tools to move faster, and you still check the output
You get going on a vague problem without waiting for a spec, and you take it further than you were asked
You quickly see which number matters and which question to answer first
Proof that you aim high: a project, result or choice where you went past "good enough" when nobody asked you to
Bonus: a strong result in a Kaggle challenge, hackathon or competition, or a system you built and fixed yourself when it broke
