If you consider yourself to be that unique hybrid of data hacker, business analyst, communicator and mentor that maintains a strong customer focus, and values pragmatism over perfection, then we’d like to hear from you.
There are several data science teams within Booking.com, each consisting of 3-8 people. All of these teams have their own scope within the business: we have Data Scientists focused on our website's front-end, on page content, product demand, customer satisfaction and loyalty.

We often align on business goals, learn from each other and socialise after work almost every Friday.
