at Samba TV

• Job title: Data Scientist – Knowledge Graph, Identity
• Job type: Full Time
• Experience level: Mid level, Senior
• Salary: Not specified
• Degree requirement: Bachelor's Degree
• Tech skills: Airflow, AWS, Cloud, Google Cloud Platform, PySpark, Python, SQL
• Location requirements: Hybrid, Warsaw, Poland

About the role

• Data Scientist delivering data science projects for Samba TV. Working on knowledge graphs, audience modeling, and mentoring junior team members.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of significant data science projects — from problem scoping and approach design through to production deployment, with a focus on knowledge graph and identity solutions
• Make sound, independently-reasoned decisions on methodology, model selection, and evaluation; document them clearly in technical solution documents covering problem statement, approach, metrics, and timeline
• Lead solution design for your own initiatives; break down complex epics into well-scoped user stories with clear acceptance criteria, adopting DataOps and MLOps best practices throughout — experiment tracking, pipeline orchestration, model monitoring, and reproducibility
• Build production-quality Python and PySpark code on Databricks — well-tested, documented, and reusable — and implement advanced ML and AI-powered workflows including entity resolution, probabilistic record linkage, embedding-based matching, semantic similarity, and LLM-augmented pipelines
• Develop and maintain reusable tools, libraries, and documentation that improve team efficiency and technical standards; conduct code reviews with constructive, specific feedback that raises the bar
• Mentor junior data scientists on technical execution, code quality, and career development; lead internal talks or workshops on knowledge graphs, identity, or ML topics
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and operations — translate business requirements into technical specifications, partner with data engineering on scalable pipeline design, and participate in cross-functional design reviews and working groups

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree required in Statistics, Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics or a related quantitative field; Master's strongly preferred
• 3–5 years of hands-on data science experience with demonstrated ability to own and deliver complex, multi-sprint projects independently
• Advanced Python with production-quality code, testing, and documentation; strong SQL and PySpark for billion-row datasets
• Databricks workflows, Delta Lake, and job orchestration; working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS or GCP)
• Solid command of core ML — regression, classification, clustering, model evaluation, and experimental design — applied to complex, high-volume data
• Proficiency with MLOps practices: experiment tracking, pipeline orchestration (Airflow), and reproducible model deployment
• Exposure to modern AI methodologies: RAG systems, LLM-augmented models, vector databases, and semantic search
• Strong communicator — able to translate technical work into clear documentation, user stories, and cross-functional conversations
• Demonstrated ability to mentor junior data scientists and contribute to team standards

Benefits

• Equal opportunity employer
• Inclusive environment
• Employee empowerment
