As part of AutoScout24 group , Europe’s largest online car marketplace, we’re shaping the future of automotive retail in Canada and beyond.

As Senior Data Scientist , you will be key contributor within our global Data Science organization, shaping AI and machine learning systems that sit at the core of our marketplace platforms across Europe and Canada.

You design, build, and operate machine learning and GenAI systems that run in production and matter to the business. You work on complex, ambiguous problems, exercise strong technical judgment, and take responsibility for outcomes - not just models. While this is a hands-on role, you are also expected to influence technical direction, raise the bar for engineering practices, and enable other data scientists and engineers to succeed. This position is permanent and based in Toronto.

What you’ll do

• Own ML and GenAI systems end-to-end in production, including problem framing, system design, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement

• Make sound architectural and methodological decisions for ML systems on AWS, balancing robustness, observability, cost, and long-term maintainability

• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Business leaders to turn ambiguous problems into ML-enabled product solutions with clear outcomes

• Operate and evolve ML systems deployed across multiple countries and markets, accounting for differences in data distributions, regulations, and constraints

• Mentor other data scientists through hands-on technical guidance, design reviews, and shared ownership of systems <
