Do you want to impact millions of users by improving digital data science products at the biggest omni-channel food retailer in the Netherlands and Belgium? Would you like to improve your technical and problem-solving skills working in a dedicated and enthusiastic team? Then we're looking for you!

As a Data Scientist working within our Digital Analytics and Data Science Team, you have the chance to contribute to important and high-impact products and value propositions of Albert Heijn. There are many exciting ongoing and upcoming projects in the digital domain of Albert Heijn. For example, helping customers find what they need and enhancing their shopping experience by working on the search project; or improving personal bonus offers within the Mijn Bonus Box using recommendation techniques.

As a member of the team, you will also become part of the vibrant group of 40+ analysts, data scientists, and machine learning engineers. Your teammates have different backgrounds and nationalities, which we believe is an important asset. We work closely with the rest of the organization in cross-functional teams covering all the necessary roles, including product owner, machine learning engineer, analyst, DevOps, front-ender, and UX.
