Development Lead
Job description
Join the Data Science team as a Development Lead and take responsibility for an international automotive project focused on large scale optimization of value chain. Your role will involve assigning specific tasks, determining the direction for further project development, and ensuring the successful delivery of innovative solutions.
The project is built on state-of-the-art technology cloud stack. The “heavy-duty” data science workflows are written in PySpark on Databricks (including all of the new features such as Serverless, Unity Catalog, AI-powered dashboards etc.). For fast response client facing services we use Python 3.14 runtime on AWS lambda with respective Data Science libraries. We build our own custom algorithms where needed (for example our custom implementation of Frequent Pattern Growth). There is also a hefty backlog of Gen AI features that will be implemented in 2025. The entire team is 25 people, the data science section is 6 people strong at the moment.
