About the role

  • Data Scientist delivering data science projects for media companies at Samba TV in Warsaw. Collaborating with engineering and mentoring junior data scientists on the team.

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
  • 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
  • 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, reproducibility)
  • 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 and partner with data engineering on scalable pipeline design; participate in cross-functional design reviews and working groups

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree required in Statistics, Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics or related field; Master's preferred
  • 5-7 years of hands-on data science experience with 1-2+ years in a direct people-management or team-lead role with demonstrated ability to develop, retain, and hire data scientists
  • Solid command of core statistics and ML - hypothesis testing, probability, regression, classification, clustering, model evaluation, and experimental design
  • Strong Python (pandas, NumPy, PySpark, scikit-learn) and SQL; Databricks or similar platform experience essential
  • Familiarity with MLOps practices: experiment tracking, pipeline orchestration (Airflow), reproducible model deployment
  • Detail-oriented and proactive in anticipating delivery risks
  • Comfortable running Agile ceremonies and maintaining consistent sprint cadence across a distributed team
  • Strong communicator - able to give direct, constructive feedback and advocate for your team to key stakeholders.

Benefits

  • Samba TV is an equal opportunity employer.
  • We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
  • We strive to empower connection with one another, reflect the communities we serve, and tackle meaningful projects that make a real impact.
