Job Description

You will lead a small, high-impact ML squad embedded directly in client product teams. Your mission: turn complex business problems into shippable models — whether that means forecasting demand, extracting insight from images, or processing tons of text documents. This is an equal-parts leadership and hands-on role: you set the vision, manage the team, and dive into code whenever required.

Job Responsibility

  • Lead and grow a small, high-performing team of data scientists
  • Collaborate with the customers and engineering teams to understand business needs and translate them into technical solutions
  • Participate in presale activities, providing technical insights and helping to shape project proposals
  • Maintain a hands-on approach when necessary, rolling up your sleeves and driving excellence through individual contributions while leading the team

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in at least one ML field
  • 2+ years of experience in a technical leadership role, e.g., Architect
  • 2+ years of experience managing/supervising teams
  • Familiarity with Generative AI, time series forecasting, natural language processing, and computer vision
  • Ability to lead meetings, clarify requirements, and explain technical trade-offs confidently
  • English B2+

What we offer

  • Projects in different domains: Healthcare, manufacturing, e-commerce, fintech, etc.
  • Projects for every taste: Startup products, enterprise solutions, research & development projects, and projects at the crossroads of SAP and the latest web technologies
  • Global clients based in Europe and the US, including Fortune 500 companies
  • Employment security: We hire for our team, not just a specific project. If your project ends, we will find you a new one
  • Healthy work atmosphere: On average, our employees stay in the company for 4+ years
  • Market-based compensation and regular performance reviews
  • Internal expert communities and courses
  • Perks to support your growth and well-being
