Senior Data Scientist

PodMe is looking for a Data scientist for our Data team. The team focuses on our data foundation. Building insights and predictions that contribute to a podcast experience that our customers really love.

PodMe is growing and we are taking the next steps towards becoming a household brand. With some of the best podcasts in the industry, we now need to double down on our data journey.

About the role:

As a Data scientist in the Data team at PodMe you will work together with other data focused roles. Focusing on data correctness, scalability, and identifying how data can be used in new ways to create business value.

You have a solid technical background which enables you to effectively deliver value from big data sets using modern data tools. We value active listeners and great communication very high. We value structure and clarity, so you run a tight ship and are good at presenting insights and problems. Since you will be a part of a diverse team, you are also a social person, curious about others and like teamwork. And most likely, you are not a stranger to podcasts.
