Junior Data Scientist

About the job:

We are looking for a Data Scientist with a strong analytical and business mindset - someone who enjoys decoding market mechanisms, tracking emerging product trends, and applying statistical models to solve complex platform puzzles.

Our team drives the logic that powers a trustworthy and competitive marketplace. As part of the Marketplace organization dedicated to delivering the best experiences for our buyers and sellers, we specialize in data-driven solutions focused on driving their growth - particularly through identifying market-relevant products, monitoring and optimizing product mapping quality for internal processes, and building robust reporting to extract actionable insights for business teams.

Moreover, we are actively leveraging cutting-edge AI to build agentic workflows that capture emerging trends and feed critical intelligence back into partner-support processes. We work in close collaboration with developers and product teams across the entire project lifecycle, from ideation to implementation.

Important things for you:

• Flexible working hours in the hybrid model (4/1) - working hours start between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. We also have 30 days of occasional remote work.
• The salary range for this position depending on the skill set is as follows (contract of employment, tax-deductible cost):
  • PLN 11 200 - 15 250
  • Annual bonus based on your annual performance and company results.
• Our team is based in Warsaw.

What will your job involve?

• Creating data science projects at each stage - from concept to productization - to deliver models solving complex business problems.
• Developing ML models to monitor and continuously improve the quality of product mappings for key internal processes.
• Working with diverse data modalities, including tabular data, natural language text, product metadata, and time series.
• Building and experimenting with AI Agents designed to detect market trends and feed actionable intelligence directly into partner-support workflows.
• Identifying and building curated lists of market-relevant products crucial for buyers and platform competitiveness.
• Developing advanced data science solutions and predictive insights to empower business teams and drive strategic decision-making.
• Working hand-in-hand with Data Engineers who support data pipeline heavy-lifting on GCP.
• Cooperating closely with cross-functional stakeholders: business teams, product managers, data engineers, and analysts.

Why should you work with us?

• Data Science plays a key role in the operation of Allegro - through your models, trend insights, and mapping tools, you will directly influence business decisions and partner growth.
• You will participate in cutting-edge projects, including building Agentic AI systems and automated trend detection in a large-scale e-commerce ecosystem.
• Support of experienced Data Scientists - there is always someone to exchange ideas with, as we have top specialists and experts on board.
• Access to huge data sets and state-of-the-art data processing technologies in GCP (BigQuery, VertexAI, Cloud Composer, Dataflow, Airflow, PySpark, Gemini/GPT models).
• Opportunity to learn best software engineering, code quality, and MLOps practices in practice.
• We share knowledge at industry conferences, host internal meetups, and actively co-create the DS/ML community in Poland and globally.

Our offer is addressed to people who:

• Have foundational experience or academic background in building classical ML/DS solutions (such as regression, classification, clustering, time series) and data analysis using SQL.
• Understand classical ML algorithms, their strengths, weaknesses, and basic hyperparameter tuning techniques.
• Know how to evaluate model performance using statistical metrics and diagnose basic data & mapping quality issues.
• Can explore data effectively by writing cost-efficient SQL queries, aggregating data, and creating clear reports or visualizations to deliver actionable business insights.
• Are capable of ingesting, validating, and transforming tabular data and product metadata into features ready for modeling.
• Can map business challenges (e.g. product relevance, mapping accuracy, trend detection) into analytical/modeling problems.
• Write readable, clean Python code following standards and best practices, with awareness of basic testing (e.g. unit tests) and cloud cost optimization basics.
• Possess practical and theoretical knowledge of Generative AI & Agentic AI principles (prompting, validation, agent workflows) and enthusiastically leverage AI-assisted coding tools (e.g. Copilot) to accelerate daily work.
• Communicate clearly and proactively, presenting findings and insights effectively to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Speak English and Polish at a B2+ level or higher.
• Graduated with a degree in Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, Physics (or similar quantitative field) or have early-career experience in Data Science / Data Analytics positions.

What's in it for you:

• Well-located offices (with e.g. fully equipped kitchens, bicycle parking, terraces full of greenery) and excellent work tools (e.g., raised desks, ergonomic chairs, interactive conference rooms).
• A 16" or 14" MacBook Pro or corresponding Dell with Windows (if you don't like Macs) and all the necessary accessories.
• A wide selection of fringe benefits in a cafeteria plan - you choose what you like (e.g., medical, sports or lunch packages, insurance, purchase vouchers).
• English classes that we pay for related to the specific nature of your job.
• A training budget, inter-team tourism (see more here), hackathons, and an internal learning platform where you will find multiple trainings.
• An additional day off for volunteering, which you can use alone, with a team, or with a larger group of people connected by a common goal.
• Social events for Allegro people - Spin Kilometers, Family Day, Fat Thursday, Advent of Code, and many other occasions we enjoy.
