About the Role

As a Senior Data Scientist (Global Search, Consumer), you will own the deep learning ranking models behind the search services that power every Delivery Hero platform. You will also lead our move to agentic ML research, using LLM coding agents to run hundreds of overnight experiments and turn the strongest signals into ranking gains in production. Your work will directly shape what millions of customers see every time they open the app, enhancing customer satisfaction and driving global growth and profitability.

Responsibilities

  • Own the ranking stack end to end: design, build, and productionize deep neural ranking models for high-throughput, low-latency serving.
  • Lead agentic ML research: use LLM coding agents to autonomously iterate on feature engineering and Learning to Rank (LTR) architectures.
  • Improve ranker quality through feature engineering and model architecture work, applying expertise in ranking signals, feature stores, and embedding-based retrieval.
  • Keep production models healthy by owning monitoring for model drift, latency degradation, and feature pipeline integrity.
  • Partner with Backend Engineers, Data Engineers, and Product Managers to deliver end-to-end improvements.
  • Mentor junior and mid-level data scientists and set the standard for experimentation rigor, code quality, and agentic development workflows.

Requirements

  • A Master’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a related quantitative field (or a Bachelor’s with 6+ years of work experience), plus 4+ years as a Data Scientist or Machine Learning Engineer applying ML in high-traffic production environments.
  • Production-proven experience with deep learning ranking architectures (DCN-V2, MMoE, Two-Tower), including multi-task learning, cross-feature interactions, and embedding optimization at scale.
  • Solid foundation in LTR methods (pointwise, pairwise, listwise), offline metrics (NDCG, MRR), and the challenges of bridging offline metrics to online A/B outcomes.
  • Proficiency with LLM coding agents and agentic CLI tools as first-class development tools for autonomous experiment generation, architecture prototyping, and rapid iteration.
  • Familiarity with the auto-research paradigm and comfort reviewing large volumes of generated experiment results.
  • Expert Python skills across the ML ecosystem (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn).
  • Working knowledge of SQL (dbt), GCP or AWS, and big-data processing (PySpark, Scala).
  • Hands-on MLOps across the full lifecycle: feature stores, vector databases, model versioning and registry, Metaflow, CI/CD for ML pipelines, experiment tracking, A/B frameworks, low-latency deployment, and production monitoring for drift, latency, and data quality.
  • Comfort turning broad business objectives into well-scoped data science projects, with accountability for outcomes, not just outputs.
  • Experience working in cross-functional, globally distributed teams.
  • Ability to explain model behavior, experiment results, and trade-offs to technical and non-technical audiences.
