Staff Machine Learning Engineer - Pricing & Revenue (m/f/d)

Responsibilities

• End-to-End Ownership: You are responsible for the entire lifecycle of pricing and revenue topics-from hypothesis to implementation to measurable evaluation. Your focus: Clear business uplift.
• Smart Modeling: You develop and optimize forecasting and pricing models. You pragmatically decide which method gets us to the goal fastest and most stably.
• Signal Expertise: You manage time series, demand signals, and heterogeneous data sources. You ensure that features and labels are defined absolutely clean and "leakage-proof."
• Experimentation Framework: You build a robust measurement system (holdouts, A/B tests, guardrails) and define crystal-clear criteria for rollout decisions.
• Engineering-Grade ML: You establish standards for backtesting, reproducibility, and versioning. For us, it's: Engineering quality instead of notebook-only.
• Reliable Operations: You ensure operations through smart monitoring, drift detection, and pragmatic retraining mechanisms.
• Automation & Scale: You automate high-leverage processes (backtests, monitoring checks) to massively increase throughput and quality.
• Data Foundation: Where it makes sense, you design data models directly in the warehouse (Snowflake/dbt) as a basis for reliable metrics and features.
• Full Transparency: You standardize dashboards (e.g., Metabase) for our business KPIs and ensure the data quality is beyond reproach.
• Stakeholder Sparring: You prioritize requirements together with Product & Revenue and translate them into ML solutions. Your motto: Impact over output.
• Your Profile
• Deep Experience: You have 5+ years relevant experience in ML Engineering, Data Science, or Analytics (or an equivalent track record that convinces us).
• Proven Impact: You have already achieved demonstrable success in the areas of pricing, revenue, forecasting, or similar "money systems."
• Evaluation Pro: You think offline vs. online, immediately recognize bias/leakage, and master the fundamentals of robust metrics and guardrails.
• Tech Stack: Your Python and SQL skills are production-level (testable, versioned, reproducible).
• Startup DNA: You love the 80/20 principle, work extremely pragmatically, and want full ownership for your topics.
• Language Skills: You communicate fluently in German and confidently in English.
• Bonus Points (Nice-to-haves)
• Domain Knowledge: Experience in revenue management or dynamic pricing (e.g., travel, mobility, eCommerce).
• Demand Understanding: You know how seasonality, events, and lead times affect pricing.
• Modern Toolchain: You are proficient in analytics engineering (dbt, Snowflake, Metabase) and know how to build a clean data foundation.
