Do you want to create industry leading data products that will be used by millions of Norwegians as our new Senior Data Scientist?

In CoopX, we craft forward-thinking digital products and services for millions of Norwegians. We are passionate about how technology and data can be used to make shopping smarter and more efficient - allowing our customers to spend time on more important matters. We dare to think differently and with a playful, yet professional approach to problem-solving, we believe that autonomy and diversity in teams lead to the best outcomes. Our deliveries vary from apps, payment solutions and advanced software/hardware to support unmanned stores, to advanced analytics products such as personalisation, forecasting, optimisation and segmentation models. Do you want to join us in building the future of consumer goods and retail?

As a Senior Data Scientist in CoopX, you will be essential in building and developing new models and services to solve complex business problems by applying machine learning and other advanced analytics methods.

With our 1.9 million members we collect more than 4.5 million transactions in our data lake every day. CoopX has the ambition to make data science the competitive edge of Coop - and we’re therefore looking for data scientists that share our vision. Do you have a passion for data? Good! Do you get excited by the idea of using data to create new and forward-thinking services for our customers? Even better!

We believe your day to day will look somewhat like this:

• Build sophisticated data science models to solve some of Coop’s most complex business problems alongside other data scientists, engineers and product/project managers

• Experience with Linux, git, and cloud solutions (we use CGP and Azure), as well as container technologies such as Docker
• You have a natural curiosity to your domain and like to stay updated on best practices and advances within your field of expertise
• Good analytical and strategic thinking skills and you have the ability to find creative solutions to problems
• You have the ability to communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical resources
• You thrive when taking the initiative within your field and are able to work independently and be self-driven
• Experience from retail is a bonus, but not a requirement

• Work with modern, open-source technologies and some of the most interesting data foundations in the industry to solve complex and important business problems that benefit all of Coop’s customers and 1,9 million co-owners
• You’ll be a part of an ambitious and diverse team with a startup mindset, no hierarchy, but at the same time backing from a large organisation
• A high degree of autonomy where it’s up to you and your team to define technologies and tools to solve the problem ahead
• Excellent opportunities for personal and professional development (e.g. conferences, training, dedicated time to work on own projects/upskilling, etc.)
