AI Summary

The role, at a glance.

This is a senior, customer-facing data science role focused on helping German-speaking enterprise clients adopt and operationalize the Dataiku platform. The position combines hands-on machine learning development, solution design, technical consulting, user training, and production project delivery. Candidates need more than five years of Python, R, SQL, and ML-modeling experience, alongside knowledge of cloud architectures, Kubernetes, Spark, and data platforms. Native-level German and fluent English are essential because the role requires clear communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders. Experience in consulting, MLOps, APIs, and teaching customers is especially valuable.

Sample interview questions
Describe a machine learning solution you took from initial business problem through production deployment.

I would explain how I clarified the decision to be improved and success metrics, assessed data quality, built a reproducible feature and modeling pipeline, validated performance and risk, and partnered with engineering to deploy monitoring and retraining processes. I would quantify the business result and describe lessons learned after release.

How would you train a mixed technical and business audience to use Dataiku effectively?

I would begin with the audience's use cases and baseline skills, then combine a short conceptual overview with hands-on exercises using representative data. I would use layered explanations, provide reusable project templates and documentation, and reinforce learning through office hours and follow-up sessions.

How do you explain an advanced model to a non-technical customer stakeholder?

I would lead with the business decision, expected value, limitations, and required actions rather than algorithmic detail. I would use simple visuals and concrete examples, explain the major drivers of predictions, and be transparent about uncertainty, governance, and monitoring.

What considerations are important when deploying an ML workload across cloud, Spark, and Kubernetes environments?

I would assess data access and security, environment reproducibility, compute scalability, dependency management, CI/CD, observability, and cost controls. I would also define ownership, model and data versioning, rollback procedures, and drift monitoring before production release.

How would you handle a customer whose requested ML solution is not feasible with the available data?

I would communicate the finding early and clearly, showing the evidence from data exploration and validation. Then I would propose practical alternatives, such as improving data collection, reframing the target, using a simpler analytics approach, or delivering a phased proof of value with measurable criteria.
