Almedia is a place where those who want to push harder can accelerate their careers faster than anywhere else. We’re aiming to become Germany’s second bootstrapped unicorn. Almedia is already Europe’s #3 fastest-growing company in 2025 (FT1000).\nWe are building the future of marketing by rewarding our community of over 80 million users for engaging with our advertisers’ products. We are offering a new way to acquire users for the biggest companies in the world.\nFounding Data Scientist\nWe're looking for a Founding Data Scientist to work directly with leadership on zero-to-one measurement and growth problems. This is not a role for maintaining existing systems - it's for someone who can take an ambiguous, high-stakes question and build the data infrastructure to answer it reliably, then own what comes next.\nWe value people who combine measurement rigour with builder instincts: someone equally comfortable designing a causal experiment and shipping the pipeline that operationalises its output.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn incrementality testing across marketing, product, and rewards - proving its value from hypothesis to business impact.\n\nBuild the data pipelines and measurement stack behind it, tying experiments to real shifts in user behaviour, monetisation, and multi-touch attribution.\n\nDrive experimentation strategy across growth and product: design, run, and interpret tests with a sharp focus on causal validity - not just p-values.\n\nOwn data products end-to-end: scoping, architecture, implementation, rollout.\n\nPartner with C-level, engineering, and business stakeholders to turn measurement into live operational decisions.\n\nSet the frameworks and practices the team can scale on.\n\nWhat You Need\nDeep expertise applying causal inference and experimental design in practice, in real business contexts.\n\nHands-on experience building and operationalising attribution models in a real business context - not just running models, but making them useful.\n\nProven zero-to-one experience: ambiguous problem, built the infrastructure, shipped something production-ready.\n\nProficiency in Python and SQL; GCP preferred; comfortable with modern data stack tools (dbt).\n\nExperience with programmatic advertising, ML pricing, or mobile measurement - MMPs, probabilistic attribution, or similar is a strong plus.\n\nFamiliarity with AI and LLM tooling is a plus - whether that's integrating language models into data workflows, using AI-assisted analysis to move faster, or exploring how generative and predictive AI can sharpen measurement and personalisation at scale. We're an AI-native team and expect this role to grow alongside those capabilities.\n\nYou Are\nA builder with a strong ownership mindset - you don't wait for a spec.\n\nRigorous but pragmatic: the stats matter, but the business question matters more.\n\nSomeone who, if they have to debug something twice, automates it.\n\nA clear communicator - you can translate model outputs into decisions that non-technical stakeholders can act on.\n\nWhy Almedia?\nOwn Our Growth: Competitive package with meaningful equity.\n\nHigh Impact: Work on company-defining projects, not tickets in a queue.\n\nScale With Almedia: Join a profitable, high-growth startup early.\n\nGreat Environment: Central Berlin office, transport subsidy, breakfasts and lunches, language learning, Urban Sports Club, and more.\n\nWe believe in fostering talent, evaluating all skill levels during the hiring process, and providing a clear path for growth. Almedia is an equal opportunity employer. We embrace and celebrate diversity, and encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3637,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Sales & Marketing","Loyalty Programs"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-05T18:00:43Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":88,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.877,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":39,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/almedia-founding-data-scientist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/almedia-founding-data-scientist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T14:42:28Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23165,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3704},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3704"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Falmedia-founding-data-scientist"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Falmedia-founding-data-scientist"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Falmedia-founding-data-scientist"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/almedia-founding-data-scientist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Falmedia-founding-data-scientist"}]}
