Job Details
As Zalando transforms from Europe's leading e-commerce company into The Starting Point for Fashion, this is an exciting time to join. As a (Senior) Data Scientist in the Market Insights team, you will make an impact on one of Zalando's biggest business opportunities: supporting long-term customer relationships through trustworthy, competitive prices.
To do this, we use state-of-the-art AI methods on large amounts of multi-modal data (images, text, structured) and human-in-the-loop systems. The Market Insight team uses webcrawl data from all relevant European web shops to find product matches between the Zalando assortment and competitors.
By using computer vision, image processing, and NLP, we enable intelligent, competitive pricing. You and your team will use machine learning at scale, e.g. i) to find exact product matches through text and image recognition algorithms, and ii) to classify product attributes which helps in building our insights platform. In doing so, you can build on Zalando's existing research results, e.g. Fashion DNA embeddings (https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.02489), on highly scalable state-of-the-art infrastructure, and on existing, huge data sets (both internal and external).
Join us to create tangible impact for our 42+ million active customers by keeping us competitive.
WHERE YOUR EXPERTISE IS NEEDED
We celebrate diversity and are committed to building teams that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives and skills. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit and business need.

We drive digital solutions for fashion, logistics, advertising and research, bringing head-to-toe fashion to more than 34 million active customers through diverse skill-sets, interests and languages our teams choose to use.
Pricing Platform is at the core of our commercial operation. Our tools help to determine how much of each product to buy, to recommend the best prices for these products, and to ensure that we have the right level of logistics capacity to fulfill our customers' demand. The Pricing Platform engineering team uses cutting-edge technology, data science, and machine learning, to forecast demand and pricing with a focus on business and customer experience. Partnerships happen with all key engineering and product teams, business and customer experience teams.
