About the role
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.
Data Scientist
Berlin, On-site
You'll join a small team of people who have built and shipped ML systems at scale. You'll work on real problems from week one with the support to solve them. Show us you can own more, and we'll give you more.
What You'll Do
- Build and ship models that predict user value, engagement, and reward behaviour. See them live in production.
- Design and run A/B tests on offers, rewards, and ranking. Work out what actually caused the result through causal reasoning.
- Build data infrastructure and measurement systems that let you reason rigorously about impact.
- Own undefined product problems from first idea to production. No playbook. You own it all.
What You'll Bring 💡
- Strong Python and SQL. You use AI tools to move faster, and you still verify the output.
- Research or academic background with proof of depth: published work, thesis, strong coursework, or competition results.
- 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.
- You think in causation and testable hypotheses. You debug rigorously when things break.
- Bonus: Kaggle competition results, published papers, thesis work, or a system you built and hardened yourself.
Why Almedia
- A small, selective team of very sharp people. We keep it small on purpose, so every hire raises the bar
- Equity in Almedia. Every Berlin-based employee gets a stake, so you share in what you help build
- Top-of-market pay as the baseline. Outlier impact gets paid accordingly
