In our Technology & Data business unit, we are responsible for the entire lifecycle of our data-driven products and the division Global Data Science is an essential part of it.

As Machine Learning Engineers, we are part of the Global Data Science division and focus on developing scalable and re-usable machine learning components and solutions at enterprise scale. And that's why we are looking for you - a passionate hands-on engineer who is greedy for coding in high-end data science ecosystems!

Our data science solutions are determined to be effective, highly efficient, high available, reliable, scalable, maintainable and of course, highly automated. Hence, you will play in the premier league of data science: at the intercept of computational statistics and state-of-the-art software development and DevOps culture.

Sounds challenging? Well… it is! But don't be afraid! Nobody knows everything! You will closely collaborate in agile cross-functional teams where you will learn from scientists, software engineers, big data engineers and infrastructure experts. Of course, it takes a steep learning curve to acquire knowledge and engineering skills in all fields of this multi-disciplinary environment but we will always take care of your personal development in order to make you a master in productizing data science.

Key Activities

• Design, develop and implement data science and machine learning models in proof-of-concepts and prototypes
• Develop, optimize, standardize and implement data science and machine learning solutions at scale in data pipelines and distributed systems (e.g. Hadoop/Spark/Kubernetes ecosystem)
• Engineer at scale using service-oriented architecture, containerized applications and functions as a service, especially in cloud service environments (i.e. IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, FaaS)
• Optimize data science and machine learning models using high performance computing (e.g. GPGPU) and real-time techniques (e.g. messaging/streaming services, reactive programming)
• Represent GfK's machine learning and data science expertise at workshops and conferences.
