Senior Data Scientist, Growth Alliance (f/m/x)

Work with HelloFresh in Warsaw and its HelloTech organisation, HelloFresh’s global technology backbone with more than 1000 people, building the digital products that power our end-to-end food experience. From meal kits and ready-to-eat meals to specialty offerings like pet food and premium meat & seafood, HelloTech creates the platforms that bring tailored food solutions to millions of customers every month.

Our subscription-based, direct-to-consumer model relies on technology at every step, from customer-facing apps and personalization logic to pricing, forecasting, supply chain optimization, and initiatives that help reduce food waste. While our brands operate independently to serve distinct customer needs, they are united by shared platforms, data, and operational excellence built by HelloTech.

HelloTech works in autonomous, cross-functional alliances, each owning a specific product or domain end to end. By working with our Warsaw office, you will help shape scalable, data-driven products used across our markets, working with a modern tech stack and international teams to continuously improve how people discover, order, and enjoy HelloFresh’s products, today and in the future.

About the role: What's in the Box

The Growth Alliance powers HelloFresh’s marketing engine, from media investment and in-channel optimization, to the conversion funnel, to how and when we communicate with customers. As a Senior Data Scientist, you will design and ship statistical and machine learning models that turn data from experiments, campaigns, and customer behavior into decisions that directly move the business: how we spend our marketing budget, how we convert visitors into customers, and how we personalize every touchpoint along the way.

You’ll join one of several teams within the alliance, spanning marketing measurement and attribution, channel optimisation, funnel optimisation and decisioning on customer communications and messaging. Across all of these topics, the through line is the same: rigorous modeling, close collaboration with engineering and marketing stakeholders, and a bias toward shipping models that work in production, not just in a notebook.

To succeed in this role, you should be a curious, pragmatic problem solver who relentlessly prioritizes based on impact, is comfortable with statistical uncertainty, and can translate a fuzzy business question into a concrete, testable model.

At HelloTech, flexibility and cross-functional collaboration are core to how we work. While this role is aligned to a specific Alliance, strong candidates may also be considered for opportunities across different teams or projects.

What you’ll do: The Recipe

• Design, build, and take ownership of statistical and machine learning models, from data collection through to production, closely aligning the approach with non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborate within cross-functional teams (engineering, product, marketing) to translate business objectives into concrete, data-driven strategies.
• Experimentation: design tests, define success metrics and guardrails, and interpret results while accounting for statistical uncertainty, noise, and bias.
• Continuously iterate and refine your technical approach, monitor model performance, data reliability, and drift once in production.
• Retrieve, manipulate, and analyze large, heterogeneous datasets, and build the data pipelines your models depend on.
• Think beyond the immediate ask to find new ways to improve the data products delivered to stakeholders.
• As a senior member of the team, jump in to help solve problems as they arise, and support and coach more junior data scientists.

What you’ll bring: The Ingredients 

• Proven track record of scientific work through a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in statistics, physics, economics, mathematics, data science, or a related quantitative field.
• 3+ years of professional experience as a (senior) data scientist or in a related quantitative role, ideally in e-commerce, marketing, or a comparably high-traffic, consumer-facing environment.
• Strong marketing and/or growth domain knowledge, with experience applying statistical models such as regressors and classifiers, and interpreting experiment results under real-world uncertainty.
• Fluency in Python and its scientific stack (NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, Matplotlib); comfortable retrieving and analyzing data with SQL. Experience with Databricks/Spark is a plus.
• Familiarity with software engineering practices and tools (Git, Docker, AWS or similar cloud environments).
• Comfortable using recent Gen AI tools (e.g. Claude Code) to design and build solutions in a structured and pragmatic manner.
• A critical thinker and creative problem solver who is comfortable proposing and prioritizing multiple solutions based on effort and likely impact.
• A collaborative team player with exceptional communication skills, able to work with stakeholders from different backgrounds in an international environment.

Above all, we are looking for individuals who will make HelloFresh better. We believe there are many different ways of developing skills and we love diverse experiences! So even if you don’t “tick all the boxes” but think you’d thrive in this role, we would really like to learn more about you.

What we offer: The Toppings

• Global collaboration at scale: Collaborate with experienced engineers and product partners across HelloTech’s international teams, in a culture of active knowledge sharing.
• Technology with real-world impact: Build and operate modern systems at global scale, supporting 6+ millions of customers and complex supply chain operations.
• Technical/Product/Design leadership: Drive best practices and influence architecture/design, quality, and ways of working in an autonomous, product-led setup.
• End-to-end development/delivery: Drive decisions from problem definition to production, improving systems and enabling long-term scalability.
• Access to workspace at Warsaw centre. The hub offers modern facilities including showers, breakout zones, outdoor space, cycle parking, and refreshments (coffee, soft drinks, and fruit).
