Data Scientist - Team BusFactor

About the Engagement

• Further develop demand forecast and price elasticity models that drive automatic pricing across the Flix network 


• Research and test improved approaches to modelling price elasticity — from first hypothesis to validated, production-ready model 


• Act as a subject-matter expert partner for forecast and pricing models, advising product and business counterparts on problems, solution ideas, and feasibility 


• Actively contribute your ideas to technical brainstorming and modelling discussions as advisor 


• Effectively collaborate with others to implement solutions and ensure they are practical to operate reliably in production 


• Monitor and analyse the behaviour of pricing products and respond to support cases 


• Contribute to the technical health, reliability, and observability of the existing system 

About You

• Strong academic background in mathematics, physics, statistics, operations research, quantitative economics, or a related field, with a solid grounding in statistics and data analysis 


• Alternatively, proven hands-on expertise in price elasticity or demand modelling, for example from pricing or revenue management in transport, travel, hospitality or retail 


• Critical thinking and attention to detail: You question assumptions, check your results and derive your own solutions in a complex environment. 


• Programming experience — preferably Python; strong background in another language is acceptable 


• Good SQL skills 


• Basic knowledge of machine learning 


• Strong communication skills to explain your approach and results clearly to technical and non-technical colleagues 


• You implement your models yourself and care that they run reliably 


• You enjoy working with others, and you can build resilient working relationships with your stakeholders, even in a remote setup

Cooperation model

• Cooperation based on a service agreement (B2B/freelance contract), not an employment contract.


• You will operate as an independent contractor, responsible for delivering agreed services and submitting invoices 


• Location: open for contractors based in Poland
