Role overview
As a Data Scientist, you will develop machine learning models for a variety of use cases, from initial development through deployment and maintenance. Your first assignments will focus on pricing and demand forecasting for S Group’s online stores. You will also be part of a wider SOK data science community, where people actively work on topics such as personalization and product findability. In this role, you will be working with stakeholders in both Finnish and English.
SOK has invested in ML-Ops capabilities, offering a modern environment where you can focus on designing and developing use cases. Not everything has been solved yet, so your work may occasionally include infrastructure or CI/CD configurations, with support from colleagues.
We aim to keep management lightweight, leaving room for you to shape the content of your work. This autonomy also means that succeeding and enjoying the role requires an active and initiative-taking approach.
