Apply to this Job

What you'll do:

  • Explore and experiment with ML/AI approaches to solve POI-domain problems such as entity matching, address parsing, data quality assessment, or coverage analysis
  • Implement and evaluate models and algorithmic solutions on real-world, large-scale geospatial datasets
  • Design and run experiments, analyze results, and translate findings into clear insights, recommendations and implementation
  • Be part of the development of data pipelines and tooling that support model training, evaluation, and analysis
  • Collaborate with Applied Scientists, Engineers, and Product stakeholders to understand requirements and integrate your work into the broader team workflow
  • Document experiments, methodologies, and results clearly to support knowledge sharing within the team

What you'll need:

  • Currently enrolled in a Master's programme in Computer Science, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or a related field
  • Solid grounding in machine learning fundamentals — supervised/unsupervised learning, model evaluation, feature engineering
  • Hands-on experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or scikit-learn (from coursework, research, or personal projects)
  • Programming proficiency in Python; experience with data manipulation libraries (pandas, NumPy, Spark is a plus)

  • Analytical mindset with the ability to design experiments, interpret results critically, and communicate findings clearly
  • Collaborative and curious — comfortable asking questions, working iteratively, and learning from feedback

What you'll learn:

  • Worked on production-scale geospatial and POI data with real business impact
  • Gained experience in the full ML experimentation cycle - from problem framing and data analysis to model development and evaluation
  • Deepened your understanding of applied ML in a domain where data quality, scale, and semantic complexity are central challenges
  • Collaborated in a cross-functional team of scientists, engineers, and product managers
