Data Scientist

Empowering Instabee's Logistics Through Production-Grade Predictive Modeling
About The Role
The Instabee Predictions team is at the heart of optimizing our logistics and operations. We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated
(Senior) Data Scientist / Machine Learning Engineer
to join our small but critical team in Oslo.

You will follow an
end-to-end approach
, taking complex data problems from raw input to direct business impact. This role is essential for replacing a crucial team member, ensuring we maintain our ability to leverage
production-grade ML models and advanced predictive techniques
to inform critical decision-making across the organization.

Clarification: ML Engineering Focus
This is a highly technical role focused on developing and deploying production-ready Machine Learning models.
If your primary background is in Business Intelligence (BI), ETL development, or Data Platform architecture, this is likely
not
the right fit. Your core responsibility will be the
design, development, and deployment of complex ML models
that solve sophisticated logistical and operational challenges.

What You Will Do (Responsibilities)

• Build Production-Grade ML Solutions: Architect, develop, validate, and deploy end-to-end Machine Learning models into our production environment to generate reliable, real-time forecasts.
• Data-Driven Model Development: Conduct sophisticated data analysis and feature engineering as the foundation for your ML model development, ensuring models are robust and performant.
• Deliver Strategic Insights: Interpret model results and translate them into invaluable, actionable insights for stakeholders in areas such as route planning, resource scheduling, and personnel planning.

What You Will Bring (Requirements)
We are looking for a candidate with proven experience in Machine Learning Engineering:

• ML Engineering Expertise: Strong background in Machine Learning Engineering or advanced Data Science, with proven experience building models in a production setting (e.g., using MLOps practices, Python, and relevant ML frameworks).
• Advanced Predictive Modeling: Deep understanding and hands-on experience in building and validating complex statistical/ML models with direct business impact, going beyond standard linear methods.
• Full End-to-End Ownership: Ability to take a complex business problem and drive it through the entire ML lifecycle—from data exploration and model development to deployment and monitoring.

If this is you then we can't wait to meet you

Why Join Instabee?

The Predictions team is critical to Instabee's operational success. Your work will directly influence strategic decisions, optimize operations, and drive overall business success.

• Highest Impact: Be the driving force behind reliable forecasts that directly inform fundamental business areas like route planning and resource scheduling.
• Collaborative Environment: Join a small, expert team tackling complex, high-value data challenges.

What you'll get

We can promise you that you will be challenged, develop your skills and have the opportunity to work with truly amazing and competent colleagues. If you like changes and want to set new processes and ways of working - this is the place for you

Benefits
Of course, we have all the necessary and standard benefits in place, but in addition to this, we can also offer:

• Sky-High Office: Modern and newly renovated with a 360-degree view around Stockholm. (Note: The role is in Oslo, but the company culture benefits apply.)
• Puppy Friendly: Bring your dog to work - we've got a whole floor for our furry friends
• Fun & Games: Ping pong, Shuffleboard, Foosball, and even a Karaoke Room for your leisure time.
• Parental Pay for Six Months: Step away from work and provide the best care and love to your little one.

We want to be a workplace where everyone's perspectives and opinions are valued, and we are dedicated to creating opportunities for all employees to thrive and reach their full potential.

Get to know us
In 2022, Instabee was founded after combining Budbee and Instabox - two leading last-mile delivery companies with three consumer-facing brands: Budbee, Instabox, and Porterbuddy. Instabee serves millions of consumers across Europe with convenient deliveries and is on track to become the leading European e-commerce enabler. Always with the consumer at heart.

We're fast, both in terms of parcel delivery and when it comes to growing our business. So far our journey has taken us from Sweden to the rest of Scandinavia and parts of continental Europe, but we have no plans on stopping anytime soon. As we continue to expand, the complexity of Instabee grows in parallel. With that in mind, we're now looking for you to help us on the journey ahead.
