Team mission

At the Central Data Products team, our mission is to build, operate, and drive adoption of horizontal data products that empower multiple clusters across GetYourGuide.

We are a horizontal team within central services, and our products are pivotal to the entire flywheel: Consumer, Growth, and Supply. We own the systems that decide how our marketplace is understood and organized: location and travel category tagging that powers landing pages, the landing page eligibility framework that unlocks marketing efficiency at scale, destination maps and travel-relevance models that steer supply acquisition into untapped markets, and the Customer Lifetime Value model that shifts the company from short-term revenue optimization to long-term customer value. Many of these systems are LLM-based and running in production today.

As a Senior Data Scientist at GetYourGuide, you’ll be a key part of an inclusive, high-impact team working closely with Data Scientists, MLOps Engineers, and business stakeholders to shape how we use AI across the marketplace. You’ll have the opportunity to work with millions of images, collaborating with our VISOP Team, using ML/AI model to enhance image quality, relevance and compliance. If you’re motivated by research-oriented work that builds long-term foundations— plus real impact at scale —this role is for you.
