*As a Senior Data Scientist*, you'll join our growing Data Products team and have a chance to make an enormous impact. The vast and diverse set of structured and unstructured data GetYourGuide has collected empowering data products such as search, recommendations, SEM, or incentives. We have touch points across the business and aim to develop end-to-end solutions.

*Team mission*
The Activity Ranking Team (ART) builds data products that help our customers discover GetYourGuide's products that are most relevant to them. Relevance is individual; it depends on a variety of factors: personal interests and requirements, the state of the user journey, external factors such as weather, current location, time and many other things. At the same time, product suppliers have an interest in seeing their products in a prominent position. The challenge is to do justice to both sides.

The complexity of the question translates into complex challenges regarding the architecture and the algorithms used. Our DS and MLOps engineers work closely with the other Marketplace teams on this to get the data products from the initial idea to production quickly.

You will:
- Build data products that delight our customers and contribute to company success
