Junior Data Scientist
Summary
Junior Data Scientist on Allegro's Marketplace team in Warsaw, using SQL, Python, and classical ML to analyze marketplace data, improve product mapping and reporting, and help build agentic AI trend-detection workflows on GCP (BigQuery, VertexAI, Airflow, PySpark).
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.
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.
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 , 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.
