* Retraining, Monitoring & MLOps: You plan and conduct regular retrainings and establish monitoring to detect data and model drift early.
* Data Pipelines & Production Readiness: You plan, implement and maintain logic in our data pipelines and ensure that our prediction models are stable and performant in production.
* Ad-hoc analyses & customer insights: You conduct exploratory analyses for existing and new customers (e.g. returns analysis, assortment performance, scenario calculations) and prepare the results in an understandable way.
* Code quality & best practices: You actively participate in code reviews, establish clean code and testing standards, and help to continuously professionalize our ML and analytics landscape.
* Collaboration with the Product & App Team: You will work closely with various stakeholders, especially our Product, App and Customer Success teams, to provide order suggestions, KPIs and insights in a way that makes them as useful as possible in the everyday lives of customers and internally.
