Knuddels

Data Scientist

• You will take on a key role, working not only operationally but also strategically reshaping and embedding the Data Science function at Knuddels.
• Leadership & team building: As the team is evolving, you will continue to expand its structure and foster your team members’ development through coaching and feedback.
• Data strategy & culture: Together with company leadership, you will define the long-term data strategy. Your goal is to establish a genuine data-driven culture, empower colleagues, and make data understandable and accessible across the company.
• Sparring partner & bridge builder: You act as the data-driven conscience but do not rely on numbers blindly. You link quantitative analyses with qualitative feedback from the community (e.g., through close exchange with Community Management) to form a holistic view and enable well-founded decisions.
• Hands-on Data Science: You work operationally with our complex data (millions of events per day) to extract valuable insights using data mining, clustering, forecasting, recommendation systems, and classification.
• Quality & processes: You ensure the correctness of our data across systems (DWH, analytics) and establish best practices (e.g., code reviews, documentation) for scalable data-science products.
• Business impact: You derive concrete actions from your analyses that deliver the greatest value to our community and secure the long-term success of Knuddels.
