Manchester, United Kingdom Auto Trader Full time €50,000 - €70,000

We’re Auto Trader, the UK's leading automotive marketplace and a FTSE 100 tech-listed company, uniting the largest and most engaged consumer audience with the most extensive network of vehicle sellers. We embrace diversity, celebrate our differences, and forge our own path. We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist who will play a crucial role in driving Auto Trader's transformation into a data science-driven organisation.
As a Senior Data Scientist you will be responsible for the direction of Data Science at Auto Trader. With your experience and research skills you will spot the opportunities for Data Science and work with the leadership in your squad to prioritise, resource and shape subsequent projects. Your role will require you to orchestrate these projects, including supporting other Data Analysts and Scientists and collaborating with software engineers towards the best solution. You will have a strong focus on developing ML-centric data products and solutions, in which your expertise with ML frameworks and workflows will be key.
Right now, our Data Scientists are working on several exciting projects. For instance, they're creating personalised suggestions to get buyers more involved, improving our search system to make buying better for customers while also helping sellers stand out, building AI tools to aid customers in tasks like making listings and describing ads, studying how competition affects seller performance on our site, and upgrading our customer data platform for better targeted marketing beyond our site.
As part of our broader analytical community, Data Scientists collaborate closely with Data Analysts and Digital Analysts. As a Senior member of the community, you will play a key role in establishing our analytical standards and tools.
We have invested heavily in a Data Platform that supports industry-leading Data Science. These are some technologies that our Data Scientists use (we don't expect applicants to have experience with all of these):
Python and Databricks for Data Science, Spark, MLFlow and Airflow for ML Workflows, Google Cloud Platform for our analytics infrastructure, dbt and BigQuery for data modelling and warehousing.

In addition to your fixed office days, we expect you to be in more than you’re out. You can choose the specific days that suit your work requirements, home commitments, and team needs.
