HelloFresh
At HelloFresh, we want to change the way people eat. Over the past 5 years we’ve seen this mission spread beyond our wildest dreams. So, how did we do it? Our weekly recipe boxes full of exciting recipes and lovingly sourced, fresh ingredients have blossomed into a community of inspired, energised home cooks that expands across the globe. Now we’re the fastest growing company in Europe, active and growing in 10 different countries across 3 continents.
Our story started in Berlin. As Europe’s tech hub, and the home of our global headquarters, it’s a dynamic, progressive environment where innovation is nurtured and promoted. Since we started, we’ve worked exceptionally hard and we’ve received almost US$ 300 million in investment which together have allowed us to create an award winning product.
As a member of HelloTech you’ll be exposed to a modern technology stack and a slick cross functional agile team setup. We have developed a refined product and provide scalability on a global level. Join our HelloTech team and help us to build a fresh food global champion!
About the job
We are looking for a Manager of Data Science, who will make key contributions to all of the following areas:
Core Personalisation algorithms — these are used in our products— From understanding how to gather the data for cold-start recommendations, to collaborative filtering models, to incorporation of feedback so that our customers are always delighted when they get their next box!
Develop models that help us understand and describe our customers, e.g. learning how to extract deep interests and tendencies from event streams
Operations research— every day we make thousands of small (and large) decisions, from what recipes to develop and feature, to how much of what ingredients to buy, to which customers’ box to send next. Each of these decisions has a cost and benefit, along with competing trade-offs to consider.
Forecasting and predictive models— to make smart decisions, we need to have a crystal ball that tells us with some degree of certainty what will happen in the future.
